CYP2D6 is responsible for the metabolism and elimination of approximately 25% of clinically used medications. Depending on ethnicity, up to 37% of individuals possess a non-functional CYP2D6 hybrid allele. Common CYP2D6 genotyping and copy number detection methods cannot detect these alleles, resulting in pharmacogenetic profile mischaracterization. Dr. Houda Hachad will offer recommendations for overcoming this challenge to achieve a comprehensive CYP2D6 profile and more accurate PGx results.
