Cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) is among the most important genes involved in drug metabolism. Specific variants are associated with changes in the enzyme's amount and activity. Multiple technologies exist to determine these variants, like the AmpliChip CYP450 test, Taqman qPCR, or Second-Generation Sequencing, however, sequence homology between cytochrome P450 genes and pseudogene CYP2D7 impairs reliable CYP2D6 genotyping, and variant phasing cannot accurately be determined using these assays.
