CYP2D6 Genotype details

What CYP2D6 Genotype shows

CYP2D6 is a gene that provides instructions for an enzyme that helps break down or activate many widely used medicines. Common inherited variants can make the enzyme work more slowly, more quickly, or not at all. This genotype result lists which versions of the gene you carry, and it is used to predict your metabolizer status. It can help your prescriber anticipate how you may respond to medicines such as codeine, tramadol, tamoxifen and many antidepressants and antipsychotics, for example a higher chance of side effects or a weaker effect. Your genotype is a lifelong inherited variant, not a level that changes, and it is one factor alongside other medications, age, organ function and health that a prescriber considers.
