Abstract excerpt
The ultrarapid CYP2D6 metabolizer (UM) phenotype is caused by CYP2D6 gene duplications in some, but not all, UM individuals. CYP2D6 and the adjacent pseudogene CYP2D7 are highly homologous; however, CYP2D7 harbors a premature stop codon, which is absent in carriers of the rare CYP2D7 variant rs530303678. We addressed whether rs530303678 could generate a functionally active protein, causing the UM phenotype....
