About This Report

This report contains pharmacogenetic alleles and implications for drug response for the genetic data submitted. Both the genotypes presented and implicated medications are predictions based on the submitted data and published pharmacogenetics literature. This is not a clinical report and the data contained here in no way should be used as clinical guidance.

The information presented in this report is based on allele mappings and therapeutic implications developed by the Clinical Pharmacogenomics Implementation Consortium (CPIC®) and the US Food and Drug administration (FDA). Gene2Rx is not affiliated with CPIC or the FDA in any way. The contents of this page have not been endorsed by CPIC or the FDA and are the sole responsibility of Gene2Rx.

This report includes information about how your pharmacogenetics may influence your response to all medications with FDA and CPIC guidance. If you do not see your medication listed here, there is currently no prescription guidance based on pharmacogenetics published by either the FDA or CPIC.

The implications of taking medication for which you may have an atypical response are based on probabilities. You may or may not experience any side effects or altered efficaciousness. Consult your healthcare provider before making any changes to your healthcare.

The quality of uploaded data is not verified and may contain errors that result in alterations to your pharmacogenetic report. Genotyping panels (such as those used by direct to consumer genetics services) offer an incomplete representation of an individual's genetics. You may harbor additional genetic variation that can affect drug response.

Disclaimer. Do not alter your medication dose or stop your medication without first consulting your healthcare provider.

Pharmacogenetics Summary

This table contains the specific variants identified in each of the genes assessed for your Gene2Rx report. These genes are important for modulating response to medications and have been determined to be clinically actionable for some medications.

The "Genotype" column indicates the specific alleles identified in your DNA. These correspond to patterns of genetic variants within each gene. There are two alleles for each gene, one for each copy.

The "Phenotype" column indicates the predicted effect that your genotype will have on the function of the proteins encoded by each gene. These phenotypes will determine how you will respond to different medications. See the legend below for descriptions of the symbols associated with each phenotype.

Pharmacogenetic Results

Drugs are grouped by clinical class. For each class with three or more drugs in your report, a scoreboard summarizes which medications you are likely to use as directed, which warrant caution, and which guidelines suggest you consider an alternative for. The detailed tables below each scoreboard show the underlying gene-drug findings.

Each row in the detail tables shows the generic name, brand names, gene, your gene phenotype, and how your genotype may affect drug response. Source links point to the CPIC guideline or FDA drug label that informed the recommendation.

Amphetamine Adzenys ER CYP2D6 Poor Metabolizer May affect systemic concentrations and adverse reaction risk. Consider lower starting dosage or use alternative agent. FDA
Atomoxetine Strattera CYP2D6 Poor Metabolizer CPIC: Implication: Significantly decreased metabolism of atomoxetine may result in higher concentrations as compared to non- poor metabolizers. This may increase the occurrence of treatment-emergent side effects, but also a greater improvement of ADHD symptoms as compared with non- poor metabolizers in those who tolerate treatment. Poor metabolizer status is associated with lower final dose requirements as compared to non- poor metabolizers. Therapeutic recommendation: Initiate with a dose of 40 mg/day and if no clinical response and in the absence of adverse events after 2 weeks increase dose to 80 mg/day. If response is inadequate after 2 weeks consider obtaining a plasma concentration 2-4 h after dosing. If concentration is <200 ng/ml, consider a proportional dose increase to achieve a concentration to approach 400 ng/ml.e,f If unacceptable side effects are present at any time, consider a reduction in dose.
FDA: Results in higher systemic concentrations and higher adverse reaction risk. Adjust titration interval and increase dosage if tolerated. Refer to FDA labeling for specific dosing recommendations.

Tamoxifen Nolvadex, Soltamox CYP2D6 Poor Metabolizer Implication: Lower endoxifen concentrations compared to normal metabolizers; higher risk of breast cancer recurrence, event-free and recurrence-free survival compared to normal metabolizers. Therapeutic recommendation: Recommend alternative hormonal therapy such as an aromatase inhibitor for postmenopausal women or aromatase inhibitor along with ovarian function suppression in premenopausal women given that these approaches are superior to tamoxifen regardless of CYP2D6 genotype and based on knowledge that CYP2D6 poor metabolizers switched from tamoxifen to anastrozole do not have an increased risk of recurrence. Note, higher dose tamoxifen (40 mg/day) increases but does not normalize endoxifen concentrations and can be considered if there are contraindications to aromatase inhibitor therapy. CPIC

Generic Name Brand Names Gene Your Gene Phenotype Implication Source
Retatrutide GIPR Decreased Function Implication: One copy of the Gln354 partial loss-of-function allele (rs1800437 G/C). The GIPR effect was demonstrated in tirzepatide (~1.8-fold increased odds of moderate-to-severe nausea or vomiting); by mechanism the same risk is expected for retatrutide, which also activates GIPR. The effect does not apply to GLP1R-only agonists such as semaglutide. Therapeutic recommendation: Consider a slower dose-escalation schedule for retatrutide. If side effects are intolerable, a GLP1R-only agonist such as semaglutide is unaffected by this variant and may be an alternative. Gene2Rx
GLP1R Enhanced Response (heterozygous) Implication: One copy of the Leu7 allele (rs10305420 C/T). By extrapolation from semaglutide and tirzepatide, expect modestly greater weight loss compared with Pro7/Pro7, and a modestly elevated risk of nausea and vomiting from the GLP1R arm of retatrutide. Therapeutic recommendation: Use standard dosing. Counsel on the likelihood of somewhat greater weight loss and slightly higher GI side-effect risk; consider slower titration if early side effects emerge. Gene2Rx
Semaglutide Ozempic, Wegovy GLP1R Enhanced Response (heterozygous) Implication: One copy of the Leu7 allele (rs10305420 C/T).

Frequently Asked Questions
What do I do now?

If you find that you may have an atypical response to a medication you take or are considering taking, it is important that you first consult with your healthcare provider or a genetic counselor before making any changes. The guidelines linked next to each finding (either CPIC or FDA) provide therapeutic guidance that include treatment recommendations.

Should I change medications or dosage based on my report?

No! Do not alter your medication dosage or stop taking your medication without first consulting your healthcare provider. Direct-to-consumer data is not clinical grade, so anything included in the report should be used as a conversation starter with your healthcare provider to seek the appropriate clinical laboratory test. Again, do not alter your medication dosage or stop taking your medication without first consulting your healthcare provider.

Why shouldn't I change my medication based on this report?

Our service relies on the genetic information provided to you by the direct-to-consumer service you paid for. Unfortunately, direct-to-consumer data is not clinical grade, so anything included in the report should be used as a conversation starter with your healthcare provider to seek the appropriate clinical laboratory test. DO NOT alter your medication dosage or stop taking your medication without first consulting your healthcare provider. Read more here and read primary research here.

Are these expert annotations?

Yes, The Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC®) is a group of PGx experts that volunteer their time to curate genetic guidance for drug response, based on the most recent research. They have high standards for the evidence required to include a drug-gene guideline. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has evaluated all pharmacogenetic associations presented in this report and believes there is sufficient scientific evidence to provide clinical guidance for prescribing practices. Read more here.

Why would my PGx annotations change?

While your genetics don't change over the course of your life, research is an ongoing process and what we know about how an individual's genetics influences their drug response changes over time. As new research is conducted and published, the CPIC guidelines and FDA drug labels are updated accordingly. These updates only happen once new research meets strict validation requirements and experts agree it's time for a guideline change. Gene2Rx provides the most recent CPIC and FDA guidance at the time of the report.

I don't see my medication in the report. Why not?

Not all drugs are influenced by pharmacogenetics, and some need more research to verify an association. If you don't see your medication listed, it means that there is not yet a CPIC guideline for providing clinical guidance for pharmacogenetic dosing.

Does Gene2Rx determine structural variants for CYP2D6?

Structural variations for CYP2D6 are not called and may affect your response to drugs metabolized by CYP2D6.
