How your genes affect medication metabolism and response

This category covers genetic variants in drug metabolism enzymes (CYP2D6, CYP2C19, CYP2C9, CYP1A2), drug transporters (SLCO1B1), and other variants that influence how the body processes common medications. These variants affect the speed at which drugs are activated, metabolized, or cleared.

Genetic Variants (26)
