Genetic testing
You order a DNA test for your pt to sequence all possible alleles in all exons of CYP2C19 genes. After sequencing, NO KNOWN MUTANT allele was identified (this is why it was called as 1/1. However, a NOVEL MUTATION (heterozygous) in CYP2C19 exon 3 was ID’d. This allele has never been described in literature. What would you do w this finding?
