CYP3A5 Genotype details

What CYP3A5 Genotype shows

CYP3A5 is a gene that provides instructions for an enzyme that helps break down a number of medicines, working alongside CYP3A4. Common variants, such as CYP3A5*3, stop the enzyme being made, so people with two copies make little or none, while people with at least one working copy make the enzyme and clear some drugs faster. This genotype result lists which versions of the gene you carry. It mainly helps a prescriber anticipate how you may handle the transplant drug tacrolimus, as people who make the enzyme often need different dosing to reach target levels. Your genotype is a lifelong inherited variant, not a level that changes, and it is one factor a prescriber considers alongside other medications and health.
