They ask you as the pharmacist about pharmacogenomic considerations. You consult the CPIC (Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium) guidelines and find that variations in CYP2D6 can influence the metabolism of paroxetine. Paroxetine is metabolized by CYP2D6 to compounds with little pharmacological activity. You find the following information in the table (through the CPIC guidelines) Q.1 What does the *1 nomenclature signify? A- Only 1% of the population have this genotype B- Normal or reference genotype C- No enzymatic function is associated with this genotype Q.2 What does this designation tell you: *4/*10 A-…
