Clinical Utility

CYP2C19 is a cytochrome P450 required in the biotransformation of drugs into active or inactive metabolites.

Common genetic variations in CYP2C19 lead to increased or reduced enzymatic function. Prescribing wrong drug doses can thus cause adverse reactions.

Pharmacogenomics (PGx) genotyping of CYP2C19 provides medical insights for drug use.

Study: Higher prevalence of CYP2C19 loss-of-function polymorphisms in Singapore’s Chinese, Malay, and Indian populations

  • Major Asian ethnicities show poorer bioactivation of clopidogrel than do Caucasian populations.

  • Close to 47% of patients of Singapore-Chinese and Han-Chinese carry at least one *2 loss-of-function allele.

  • The homozygous *2/*2 genotype is associated with the highest level of on-treatment platelet reactivity and is present in 6% of Chinese, 9% of Malays, and 13% of Indians, as compared to 2-3% in Caucasians.
