Distribution of <i>CYP2D6</i> Alleles and Phenotypes in the Brazilian Population

<div><p>Abstract</p><p>The CYP2D6 enzyme is one of the most important members of the cytochrome P450 superfamily. This enzyme metabolizes approximately 25% of currently prescribed medications. The <i>CYP2D6</i> gene presents a high allele heterogeneity that determines great inter-individual variation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the variability of <i>CYP2D6</i> alleles, genotypes and predicted phenotypes in Brazilians. Eleven single nucleotide polymorphisms and <i>CYP2D6</i> duplications/multiplications were genotyped by TaqMan assays in 1020 individuals from North, Northeast, South, and Southeast Brazil. Eighteen <i>CYP2D6</i> alleles were identified in the Brazilian population. The <i>CYP2D6*1</i> and <i>CYP2D6*2</i> alleles were the most frequent and widely distributed in different geographical regions of Brazil. The highest number of <i>CYPD6</i> alleles observed was six and the frequency of individuals with more than two copies ranged from 6.3% (in Southern Brazil) to 10.2% (Northern Brazil). The analysis of molecular variance showed that <i>CYP2D6</i> is homogeneously distributed across different Brazilian regions and most of the differences can be attributed to inter-individual differences. The most frequent predicted metabolic status was EM (83.5%). Overall 2.5% and 3.7% of Brazilians were PMs and UMs respectively. Genomic ancestry proportions differ only in the prevalence of intermediate metabolizers. The IM predicted phenotype is associated with a higher proportion of African ancestry and a lower proportion of European ancestry in Brazilians. PM and UM classes did not vary among regions and/or ancestry proportions therefore unique <i>CYP2D6</i> testing guidelines for Brazilians are possible and could potentially avoid ineffective or adverse events outcomes due to drug prescriptions.</p></div
