Abstract

Cytochrome P450 CYP2D6 is the most extensively characterized polymorphic drug‐metabolizing enzyme. A deficiency of the CYP2D6 enzyme is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait; these subjects (7% of Caucasians, about 1% of Orientals) are classified as poor metabolizers. Among the rest (extensive metabolizers), enzyme activity is highly variable, from extremely high in ultrarapid metabolizers, to markedly reduced in intermediate metabolizers. The CYP2D6 gene is highly polymorphic, with more than 70 allelic variants described so far. Of these, more than 15 encode an inactive or no enzyme at all. Others encode enzyme with reduced, ‘normal’ or increased enzyme activity. The CYP2D6 gene shows marked interethnic variability, with interpopulation differences in allele frequency and existence of ‘population‐specific’ allelic variants, for instance among Orientals and Black Africans. The CYP2D6 enzyme catalyses the metabolism of a large number of clinically important drugs including antidepressants, neuroleptics, some antiarrhythmics, lipophilic β‐adrenoceptor blockers and opioids. The present‐day knowledge on the influence of the genetic variability in CYP2D6 on the clinical pharmacokinetics and therapeutic effects/adverse effects of psychotropic drugs is reviewed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
