51
Q

Does the rare CYP2C1910 variant interfere in the CYP2C192 TaqMan assay?

A

Yes
CYP2C1910 variant (g.19153C>T) is due to a single base change in the nucleotide just upstream of the CYP2C192 variant (g.19154G >A). This prevents hybridization of the probes used in the CYP2C192 assay. Thus, rare patients who are CYP2C192/10 compound heterozygous (less than 1% of the population) will be misclassified as CYP2C192/2. Because the 10 allele is rare and has significantly reduced enzymatic activity, compared to the *2 allele which has no enzymatic activity, misidentification of CYP2C192/10 patients as CYP2C192/2 has minor clinical implications for clopidogrel response.
