CYP2D6 Phenotype details

What CYP2D6 Phenotype shows

This result is not measured directly. It is a predicted phenotype, worked out from your CYP2D6 genotype, describing how active the CYP2D6 enzyme is likely to be, for example poor, intermediate, normal or ultrarapid metabolizer. CYP2D6 helps break down or activate many widely used medicines, including medicines such as codeine, tramadol, tamoxifen and many antidepressants and antipsychotics. A slower status can mean a drug builds up or a prodrug is not activated well, while a faster one can mean the opposite. Other medicines, diet and health conditions can shift how the enzyme actually works. The underlying genotype is lifelong and does not change, and results are applied by a prescriber.
