HelpTest Code 2D6Q Cytochrome P450 2D6 Comprehensive Cascade, Varies
Reporting Name
CYP2D6 Genotype Cascade, VPerforming Laboratory
Mayo Clinic Laboratories in Rochester
Useful For
Providing information relevant to tamoxifen, codeine, and tramadol, as well as other medications metabolized by cytochrome P450 2D6
Determining the exact genotype when other methods fail to generate this information or if genotype-phenotype discord is encountered clinically
Identifying precise genotype when required (eg, drug trials, research protocols)
Identifying novel variants that may interfere with drug metabolism (when reflex to sequencing is performed)
Method Name
Tier 1: Real Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)
Tier 2: Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) followed by DNA Sequence Analysis
Ordering Guidance
This test is not for use in assessing for autoimmune hepatitis. Autoantibodies for the CYP2D6 enzyme are found in many cases of autoimmune hepatitis; order LKM / Liver/Kidney Microsome Type 1 Antibodies, Serum for autoimmune hepatitis assessment.
Testing is available as the single gene assay (this test) and as a part of a psychotropic or focused pharmacogenomics panel.
If multiple pharmacogenomic genotype testing is desired, order PGXQP / Focused Pharmacogenomics Panel, Varies.
If genotype testing for psychotropic medications is desired, order PSYQP / Psychotropic Pharmacogenomics Gene 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.
Submit only 1 of the following specimens:
Specimen Type: Whole blood
Container/Tube: Lavender top (EDTA)
Specimen Volume: 3 mL
Collection Instructions:
1. Invert several times to mix blood.
2. Send whole blood specimen in original tube. Do not aliquot.
Specimen Stability Information: Ambient (preferred) 9 days/Refrigerated 30 days
Specimen Type: Saliva
Patient Preparation: Patient should not eat, drink, smoke, or chew gum 30 minutes prior to collection.
Supplies: Saliva Swab Collection Kit (T786)
Specimen Volume: 1 swab
Collection Instructions: Collect and send specimen per kit instructions.
Additional Information: Due to lower concentration of DNA yielded from saliva, testing cannot proceed to tier 2 sequencing and will stop after tier 1 testing is complete.
Specimen Stability Information: Ambient 30 days
Specimen Type: Extracted DNA
Container/Tube: 2 mL screw top tube
Specimen Volume: 100 mcL (microliters)
Collection Instructions:
1. The preferred volume is 100 mcL at a concentration of 75 ng/mcL.
2. Include concentration and volume on tube.
Specimen Stability Information: Frozen (preferred) 1 year/Ambient/Refrigerated

All specimens will be evaluated at Mayo Clinic Laboratories for test suitabilityReference Values
A comprehensive interpretive report will be provided.
Interpretation
A comprehensive interpretive report will be provided, which combines the results of all tier testing utilized to obtain the final genotype.
The genotype, with associated star alleles, is assigned using standard allelic nomenclature as published by the Pharmacogene Variation (PharmVar) Consortium.(1)
For the CYP2D6 copy number variation assay, the reportable copy number range is 0 to 4 copies for each of the CYP2D6 region assessed.
Novel variants will be classified based on known, predicted, or possible effect on gene function and reported with interpretive comments detailing their potential or known significance.
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.
