2016 Assignment of CYP2C19 phenotypes by CPIC

PhenotypeGenotypesExamples of diplotypes
CYP2C19 ultrarapid metabolizer
(approximately 2–35% of patients)a		An individual carrying two increased function alleles *17/*17
CYP2C19 rapid metabolizer
(approximately 2–30% of patients)		An individual carrying one normal function allele and one increased function allele *1/*17
CYP2C19 normal metabolizer
(approximately 35–50% of patients)		An individual carrying two normal function alleles *1/*1
CYP2C19 intermediate metabolizer
(approximately 18–45% of patients)		An individual carrying one normal function and one no function allele
or one no function allele and one increased function allele		 *1/*2
*1/*3
*2/*17b
CYP2C19 poor metabolizer
(approximately 2–15% of patients)		An individual carrying two no function alleles *2/*2
*2/*3
*3/*3
a

For population-specific allele and phenotype frequencies, please see (2).
b The predicted metabolizer phenotype for the *2/*17 genotype is a provisional classification.
