Q

How common is the *17 allele in CYP2C19

A

42x more likely in South Europe than East Asia

Few individuals with 17/17 + 17/1

25
Q

What is a pseudogene

A

Gene w no introns = amplification

Past infections from virus which contained reverse transcriptase

26
Q

What are the substrates of CYP2A6

A

Nicotine, procarcinogens and coumarin

27
Q

How does CYP2A6 affect coumarin metabolism

A

Absence of coumarin-7-hydroxylase
= no metabolism of coumarin

28

A

*2
*4
*5

29
Q

Describe the *2 polymorphism in CYP2A6

A

No haem incorporated

30
Q

Describe the *4 polymorphism in CYP2A6

A

Large deletion = no enzyme

Additional copies of other genes caused by disruption of homologous recombination

31
Q

Describe the *5 polymorphism in CYP2A6

A

Unstable protein

32
Q

A

Europe

33
Q

Where is the CYP2A6 *4 allele most common

A

East Asia

34
Q

Where is the CYP2A6 *5 allele most common

A

It’s rare

35
Q

What can cause increased activity in CYP2A6

A

Evidence of additional copies of WT allele
No splicing defect

36

A

*2
*3
*4
*5
*6
*11

37
Q

Describe the *2 polymorphism in CYP2C9

A

Effect is substrate dependent
E.g warfarin metabolism more affected

38
Q

Describe the *3 polymorphism in CYP2C9

A

Most detrimental but residual activity remains
Lowest catalytic efficiency

39
Q

Describe the *6 polymorphism in CYP2C9

A

Frameshift = inactive protein

40
Q

How common is the *6 polymorphism of CYP2C9

A
