Humana Pharmacogenomics - Cytochrome P450 Polymorphisms and VKORC1 Form
YesNoN/A
YesNoN/A
.
Pharmacogenomics testing is laboratory testing which has the potential to
determine how an individual’s genetic factors may affect the safety and
effectiveness of that individual’s response to a specific medication. The goal of
pharmacogenomics testing is to reduce the incidence of adverse medication
reactions while improving an individual’s positive response to the medication.
Additionally, some tests may help provide information on how well a specific
treatment may work for an individual.
Cytochrome P450 enzymes are a group of enzymes that account for approximately
75 percent of drug metabolism in the human body. Enzymes encoded by the P450
genes (eg, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP3A4, CYP3A5) are found primarily in the
liver. The action of the P450 enzymes affects the blood levels of many drugs.
Genotyping for cytochrome P450 has been proposed for possible use in medical
