Ultrarapid drug metabolism: PCR-based detection of CYP2D6 gene duplication.
The enzyme debrisoquine 4-hydroxylase (CYP2D6), which metabolizes many widely used drugs, is highly polymorphic. The activity of the enzyme ranges between subjects from ultrafast to a complete absence. Therefore, metabolic capacity varies, producing intersubject differences in therapeutic efficacy and side effects at standard recommended doses. Up to 7% of Caucasians may demonstrate ultrarapid ...
متن کاملCYP2D6 Ultrarapid Metabolism and Suicide
An increased frequency of individuals with multiplication of the CYP2D6 active gene (ultrarapid metabolizers –UMsrelated to very fast enzyme activity) has been described among people who die by suicide [1], as well as among eating disordered patients with a lifetime history of suicidal behavior [2]. Furthermore, UMs have been found to present an elevated risk of high scores on one item of the H...
متن کاملA Novel Simple Method for Determining CYP2D6 Gene Copy Number and Identifying Allele(s) with Duplication/Multiplication
BACKGROUND Cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) gene duplication and multiplication can result in ultrarapid drug metabolism and therapeutic failure or excessive response in patients. Long range polymerase chain reaction (PCR), restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and sequencing are usually used for genotyping CYP2D6 duplication/multiplications and identification, but are labor intensive, ti...

متن کاملIdentification of New Alleles and the Determination of Alleles and Genotypes Frequencies at the CYP2D6 Gene in Emiratis
CYP2D6 belongs to the cytochrome P450 superfamily of enzymes and plays an important role in the metabolism of 20-25% of clinically used drugs including antidepressants. It displays inter-individual and inter-ethnic variability in activity ranging from complete absence to excessive activity which causes adverse drug reactions and toxicity or therapy failure even at normal drug doses. This variab...
