HelpTest Code 2C9QT Cytochrome P450 2C9 Genotype, Varies
Reporting Name
CYP2C9 Genotype, VPerforming Laboratory
Mayo Clinic Laboratories in Rochester
Useful For
Identifying individuals who may be at risk for altered metabolism of drugs that are modified by cytochrome P450 2C9
Method Name
Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) with Allelic Discrimination Analysis
Ordering Guidance
If patient is or will be using warfarin, the preferred test is WARSQ / Warfarin Response Genotype, Varies, which includes testing of CYP2C9, VKORC1, CYP4A2, and rs12777823.
Testing is available as the single gene assay (this test) or as a part of a focused pharmacogenomics panel, which includes testing for the following genes: CYPs 1A2, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, 3A4, 3A5, 4F2, SLCO1B1, and VKORC1.
If multiple pharmacogenomic genotype testing is needed, order PGXQP / Focused Pharmacogenomics Panel, Varies.
Specimen Required
Multiple genotype tests can be performed on a single specimen after a single extraction. See Multiple Genotype Test List for a list of tests that can be ordered together.

Interpretation
An interpretive report will be provided.
The genotype, with associated star alleles, is assigned using standard allelic nomenclature as published by the Pharmacogene Variation (PharmVar) Consortium.(1)
For additional information regarding pharmacogenomic genes and their associated drugs, see Pharmacogenomic Associations Tables. This resource also includes information regarding enzyme inhibitors and inducers, as well as potential alternate drug choices.
Drug-drug interactions and drug/metabolite inhibition must be considered in the case of all metabolizer categories except poor metabolizer.
It is important to interpret the results of testing and dose adjustments in the context of hepatic and renal function and patient age.
