Genetics Test Information
This test includes targeted testing to evaluate the following genes: ANKK1, ADRA2, CHRNA3, COMT, CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP3A4, CYP3A5, DRD2, EPHX1, GRIK4, HLA-A*31:01, HLA-B*15:02, HTR2A, HTR2C, MTHFR, OPRM1, SCN1A, SLC6A4 (5-HTT), and UGT2B15.
CYP2D6 testing is done in 2 tiers when needed. Tier 1 uses a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based 5'-nuclease assay to determine the variants present. All samples also have copy number determined by PCR-based 5'-nuclease assay. Testing in tier 1 allows for the detection of all common CYP2D6 variants (eg, *2, *3, *4, *5, *6, *7, *8, *9, *10, *17, *29, *35, *41, *59) and rarer alleles such as *11, *12, *14, *15, and *114. Duplications and multiplications of alleles are also identified. Unitary and tandem CYP2D7-2D6 (*13) alleles and CYP2D6-2D7 (eg, *4N, *36, and *68) alleles can also be detected. Tier 2 testing involves sequencing using fluorescent dye-terminator chemistry and is only done if an ambiguous phenotype results from tier 1 testing. Approximately 3% of samples require tier 2 testing.
Prior Authorization is available for this assay.
Testing Algorithm
If a specimen requires follow-up for CYP2D6, then reflex testing will be performed as appropriate at an additional charge.

Based on the results of each assay, a genotype is assigned, and a phenotype is predicted for each gene. Assessment of multiple genes may assist the ordering clinician with personalized drug recommendations, avoidance of adverse drug reactions, and optimization of drug treatment.
Reference Values
An interpretive report will be provided.
Interpretation
An interpretive report will be provided that focuses on medications and genes with published pharmacogenomic practice guidance by the Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium or other professional organizations,(1-3) where strong US Food and Drug Administration guidance has been issued in drug labels,(4) or where peer-reviewed literature strongly suggests that assessment of pharmacogenomic variants may enhance patient care.(5-8)
For additional information regarding pharmacogenomic genes and their associated medications, see Pharmacogenomic Associations Tables. This resource also includes information regarding enzyme inhibitors and inducers, as well as potential alternate drug choices.
Cautions
Specimens may contain donor DNA if obtained from patients who received non-leukoreduced blood transfusions or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Results from specimens obtained under these circumstances may not accurately reflect the recipient's genotype. For individuals who have received blood transfusions, the genotype usually reverts to that of the recipient within 6 weeks. For individuals who have received allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, a pretransplant DNA specimen is recommended for testing.
Genetic test results in patients who have undergone liver transplantation may not accurately reflect the patient's genetic status for the genes on this panel.
This test is not designed to provide specific dosing recommendations and is to be used as an aid to clinical decision making only. Drug-label guidance should be used when dosing patients with medications regardless of the predicted phenotype.

Method Description
Genomic DNA is extracted from the sample.
Genotyping for the following genes is performed using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based 5'-nuclease assay. Fluorescently labeled detection probes anneal to the target DNA: ANKK1, ADRA2, CHRNA3, COMT, CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP3A4, CYP3A5, DRD2, EPHX1, GRIK4, HTR2A, HTR2C, MTHFR, OPRM1, SCN1A, and UGT2B15. PCR is used to amplify the section of DNA that contains the variant. If the detection probe is an exact match to the target DNA, the 5'-nuclease polymerase degrades the probe, the reporter dye is released from the effects of the quencher dye, and a fluorescent signal is detected. Genotypes are assigned based on the allele-specific fluorescent signals that are detected.(Unpublished Mayo method)
Amplification for the HLA-B*15:02 and HLA-A*31:01 alleles and an internal control gene is performed by real-time PCR in the presence of SYBR Green, which fluoresces when bound to double-stranded DNA. A genotype is assigned based on the allele-specific SYBR Green fluorescent signals that are detected.(Unpublished Mayo method)
SLC6A4 is performed utilizing PCR amplification of the region surrounding the polymorphism followed by size separation of the products.(Lesch KP, Bengel D, Heils A, et al. Association of anxiety-related traits with a polymorphism in the serotonin transporter gene regulatory region. Science. 1996;274[5292]:1527-1531)
CYP2D6 Copy Number Assay:
This assay utilizes a duplex real-time PCR, which includes 1 copy number probe and a reference assay per reaction. Each copy number probe detects the genomic sequence of interest and the reference assay detects a sequence that is known to be present in 2 copies in a diploid genome. Relative quantitation is used to determine the relative copy number of the target of interest in a genomic DNA (gDNA) sample normalized to10 ng/mcL for each probe. Each probe is normalized to the known copy number of the reference sequence, and compared to a calibrator sample with known copies of the target sequence included with each run.(Package insert: Taqman Copy Number Assays. Applied Biosystems; Revision D, 02/2019)
2D6 Sequencing Assays (Tier 2, as needed):
The CYP2D6 allele of interest is amplified by PCR. The PCR product is then purified and sequenced in both directions using fluorescent dye-terminator chemistry. Sequencing products are separated on an automated sequencer and trace files analyzed for variations in the exons and intron/exon boundaries of all 9 exons using mutation detection software and visual inspection.(Unpublished Mayo method)
