Last Update:
About This Topic

For patients with depression, use of CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 genotypes to select drugs and dosages may reduce the time to therapeutic success.

Recommendation

Guide antidepressant drug selection by CYP2D6 (3001513) and CYP2C19 (3001508) genotype to reduce the time to successful therapeutic depression treatment.

Other genotyping panels that include these gene targets are the Pharmacogenetics Panel: Psychotropics (3004471), Cytochrome P450 Genotyping Panel (3001524), and Cytochrome P450 Genotyping Panel, with GeneDose Live Access (3004255).
