CYP450 2D6 Allele Caucasians 7% poor metabolizers Asians 1-2% poor metabolizers African-American 2-4% poor metabolizers Codeine,, xycodone, Potential for toxicity or lack of efficacy CYP450 2D6 Allele = 121 UM (ultrarapid metabolizers) 4.1% EM (extensive metabolizers) 75% IM (intermediate metabolizer) 17% PM (poor metabolizer) 3.3% All white patients Conclusions: Genotype arrived phenotype not significantly associated with a propensity for adverse effects to develop during treatment with metoprolol. However, the results concerning tolerability of metoprolol in PMs were inconclusive because of the small number of PMS enrolled. Clin Pharmacol Ther 2005 ct;78(4):378-87, Impact of CYP2D6 genotype on adverse effects during treatment with metoprolol: a prospective clinical study. Disclaimer: There are currently no guidelines regarding how testing for CYP450 polymorphisms, and the knowledge such testing yields about predicted phenotypes, can be incorporated into clinical practice, and little information about whether such testing produces any real benefits at all. 10/05/2010 7
