Abstract

OBJECTIVE: CYP2D6 plays a critical role in metabolizing tamoxifen into its active metabolite, endoxifen, which is crucial for its therapeutic effect in estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the CYP2D6 gene can affect enzyme activity and thus impact tamoxifen efficacy. This study aimed to use machine learning algorithms (MLAs) to identify significant predictors of Breast Cancer-Free Interval (BCFI) and to apply bioinformatics tools to investigate the structural and functional implications of CYP2D6 SNPs.
