Cytochrome P450 Genotyping

  • Assesses genetic variants contributing to risk of abnormal drug metabolism for drugs metabolized by enzymes coded by CYP2C19, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2D6, CYP3A4, and CYP3A5.
  • May aid in drug selection and dose planning for many drugs that are either activated or inactivated by one or more CYP450 enzymes. Recommendations may include drug avoidance or nonstandard dosing.
  • Report includes comprehensive medication guidance based on the genotypes detected and access to GeneDose Live, a cloud-based medication management and risk mitigation tool.

The cytochrome P450 (CYP) isozymes 2C19, 2C8, 2C9, 2D6, and the CYP3A subfamily are involved in the metabolism of many drugs. Variants in the genes that code for these enzymes will influence pharmacokinetics of the respective medications, and may predict or explain nonstandard dose requirements, therapeutic failure, or adverse reactions.

 Results

  • Genetic variant(s) detected: alleles detected are reported. The combination of alleles detected 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.

TEST DESCRIPTION

  • Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and fluorescence monitoring
  • Clinical sensitivity is drug dependent.
  • Analytical sensitivity/specificity is greater than 99%.

Limitations

  • Only the targeted CYP2C19, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2D6, CYP3A4, and CYP3A5 variants will be detected by this 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.
