CYP2D6 allele distribution in Macedonians, Albanians and Romanies in the Republic of Macedonia Cover

CYP2D6 allele distribution in Macedonians, Albanians and Romanies in the Republic of Macedonia

Open Access
|Jul 2016

Figures & Tables

Table 1

CYP2D64 major phenotype classes and two subclasses [4,7]a.

Predicted Drug Metabolizing PhenotypebCombination of Alleles
UMA combination of one normal activity allele with one increased activity allele
EMTwo normal activity alleles; a combination of one increased activity allele with one decreased activity allele
IM to EMA combination of one normal activity allele with one decreased activity allele; a combination of one increased activity allele with one null activity allele
IMOne normal activity allele with one null activity allele; two decreased activity alleles
PM to IMA combination of one decreased activity allele with one null activity allele
PMOnly null activity alleles detected

a The phenotypes were derived from the Human Cytochrome P450 (CYP) Allele Nomenclature Committee website [4] and the PharmGKB website for the related Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium guidelines for CYP2D6 [7].

b UM: ultrarapid metabolizer; EM: extensive metabolizer; IM: intermediate metabolizer; PM: poor metabolizer.
