Scientific reports·2026

This study details the genetic variations of CYP2D6 enzyme activity in 400 Korean individuals, revealing key allele frequencies and their impact on drug metabolism. These findings are crucial for personalized medicine and clinical pharmacogenetics in Asian populations.

Area of Science:

  • Pharmacogenetics
  • Genomics
  • Clinical Chemistry

Background:

  • Accurate prediction of enzyme activity via genotype is vital for pharmacogenetic testing.
  • Limited data exists on CYP2D6 genetic polymorphism within the Korean population.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To comprehensively analyze CYP2D6 genetic polymorphism in 400 Korean subjects.
  • To determine the frequencies of various CYP2D6 alleles and genotypes.
  • To investigate the impact of CYP2D6 genotype on nortriptyline metabolism.

Main Methods:

  • Sequence-based genotyping was employed to assess CYP2D6 genotypes in 400 Korean individuals.
  • Plasma concentrations of nortriptyline were measured in 16 healthy volunteers post-administration.
  • Allele and genotype frequencies, including duplications and specific variants like CYP2D6*10 and CYP2D6*5, were determined.

Main Results:

  • Twenty-eight distinct CYP2D6 alleles and 35 genotypes were identified.
  • Frequencies of poor and ultrarapid metabolizers were 0.22% and 1.25%, respectively.
  • CYP2D6*10 (45.00%) and CYP2D6*5 (6.13%) were the most prevalent alleles; CYP2D6 duplication was observed in 4/9 cases.

Conclusions:

  • This large-scale study provides essential data on CYP2D6 genetic polymorphism in an Asian population.
  • The findings enhance understanding of CYP2D6 pharmacogenetics and its clinical implications.
  • Results can inform future pharmacogenetic studies and guide clinical applications in Asian populations.
