Use to identify individuals with inherited variants that affect metabolism (CYP2C9) and/or sensitivity (CYP4F2, VKORC1) to warfarin

The cytochrome P450 (CYP) isozymes 2B6, 2C19, 2C8, 2C9, 2D6, 3A4, and 3A5 are involved in the metabolism of many drugs. Variants in the genes that code for these enzymes may influence pharmacokinetics of the respective medications, and therefore may predict or explain nonstandard dose requirements, therapeutic failure, or adverse reactions.

Variants or groups of variants are classified as “star” (*) alleles, that are associated with predicted enzyme function, based on international consensus nomenclature. However, not all variants on a chromosome/allele are interrogated and assumptions about phase are made, as shown below.

Results

  • Genetic variant(s) detected: alleles detected are reported. The combination of alleles detected or diplotype is used to predict metabolizer phenotype, and in the case of CYP2D6, the activity score. Phenotype predictions are subject to change as the scientific and clinical evidence evolves.
  • No variants detected is predictive of *1 functional alleles.
  • Functional variants without clinical indication or impact on clinical management may not be reported.

Limitations

  • Only the targeted genetic variants will be detected by this panel. Assumptions about phase and content are made to assign alleles.
  • Diagnostic errors can occur due to rare sequence variations.
  • A combination of the CYP2D6*5 (gene deletion) and a CYP2D6 gene duplication cannot be specifically identified; however, this combination is not expected to adversely affect the phenotype prediction.
  • Risk of therapeutic failure or adverse reactions with gene substrates may be affected by genetic and nongenetic factors that are not detected by this test. The test result does not replace the need for therapeutic drug or clinical monitoring.
  • The test result does not replace the need for therapeutic drug or clinical monitoring.
