CPIC Guideline Annotation

Population:

Genotype
Phenotype

Normal Metabolizer

UGT1A1: Reference UGT1A1 activity; very low likelihood of bilirubin-related discontinuation of atazanavir. There is no need to avoid prescribing of atazanavir based on UGT1A1 genetic test result. Inform the patient that some patients stop atazanavir because of jaundice (yellow eyes and skin), but that this patient’s genotype makes this unlikely (less than about a 1 in 20 chance of stopping atazanavir because of jaundice).

Other Considerations

All studies correlating UGT1A1 genotypes with atazanavir adverse events have involved ritonavir boosting. However, concentration-time profiles are equivalent when boosted with either cobicistat or ritonavir (PMID 23532097), and bilirubin-related adverse events including discontinuation of atazanavir occur in a similar percentage of patients prescribed atazanavir with cobicistat or ritonavir (PMID 23532097). Associations between UGT1A1 genotype, bilirubin elevations, and atazanavir/r discontinuation therefore almost certainly translate to atazanavir/cobicistat. "reference" function refers to the UGT1A1 allele to which other alleles are compared.

Intermediate Metabolizer

Activity Score

1.0

CYP2D6: Possibly higher atomoxetine concentrations as compared to normal metabolizers but questionable clinical significance. Intermediate metabolizers with an activity score of 1 may be at an increased risk of discontinuation as compared to poor metabolizers. Initiate with a dose of 40 mg/day and increase to 80 mg/day after 3 days. If no clinical response and in the absence of adverse events after 2 weeks, consider increasing dose to 100 mg/day. If no clinical response observed after 2 weeks, consider obtaining a peak plasma concentration (1 to 2 hours after dose administered). If <200 ng/mL, consider a proportional increase in dose to approach 400 ng/mL. Dosages greater than 100 mg/day may be needed to achieve target concentrations.

Other Considerations

Therapeutic range of 200 to 1000 ng/mL has been proposed (PMID 29493375). Limited data are available regarding the relationship between atomoxetine plasma concentrations and clinical response. Available information suggests that clinical response is greater in poor metabolizers (PMs) compared to non-PMs and may be related to the higher plasma concentrations 1 to 1.5 hours after dosing in PMs compared to non-PMs administered a similar dose. Furthermore, modest improvement in response, defined as reduction in ADHD-rating scale, is observed at peak concentrations greater than 400 ng/mL. Doses above 120 mg/day have not been evaluated.

  1. Be alert to a reduced effectiveness.
  2. In the case of inadequate effectiveness: 1. Try a dose increase. 2. If this does not work: choose an alternative. Do not select tramadol, as this is also metabolised by CYP2D6. Morphine is not metabolised by CYP2D6. Oxycodone is metabolised by CYP2D6 to a limited extent, but this does not result in differences in analgesia in patients.
  3. If no alternative is selected: advise the patient to report inadequate analgesia.
For COUGH: No action required.

fosphenytoin

The displayed recommendation for CYP2C9 and phenytoin is ONLY valid for non-carriers of the HLA-B*15:02 high-risk allele. PharmCAT Named Allele Matcher does not determine HLA status. CPIC guidance: Fos-/Phenytoin is contraindicated in individuals with the HLA-B*15:02 variant allele ("HLA-B*15:02-positive") due to significantly increased risk of fos-/phenytoin-induced cutaneous adverse reactions of Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN). In HLA-B*15:02 carriers, carbamazepine should not be used as an alternative. Alternative medications such as oxcarbazepine, eslicarbazepine acetate, and lamotrigine have some evidence linking SJS/TEN with the HLA-B*15:02 allele, and thus caution should be used in choosing alternatives to phenytoin.

phenytoin

The displayed recommendation for CYP2C9 and phenytoin is ONLY valid for non-carriers of the HLA-B*15:02 high-risk allele. PharmCAT Named Allele Matcher does not determine HLA status. CPIC guidance: Fos-/Phenytoin is contraindicated in individuals with the HLA-B*15:02 variant allele ("HLA-B*15:02-positive") due to significantly increased risk of fos-/phenytoin-induced cutaneous adverse reactions of Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN). In HLA-B*15:02 carriers, carbamazepine should not be used as an alternative. Alternative medications such as oxcarbazepine, eslicarbazepine acetate, and lamotrigine have some evidence linking SJS/TEN with the HLA-B*15:02 allele, and thus caution should be used in choosing alternatives to phenytoin.

Poor Metabolizer

CYP3A5: Higher ("normal") dose-adjusted trough concentrations of tacrolimus and increased chance of achieving target tacrolimus concentrations. Initiate therapy with standard recommended dose. Use therapeutic drug monitoring to guide dose adjustments.

Other Considerations

This recommendation includes the use of tacrolimus in kidney, heart, lung and hematopoietic stem cell transplant patients, and liver transplant patients where the donor and recipient genotypes are identical. Typically with other CYP enzymes, a normal metabolizer would be classified as having normal metabolism, and therefore, the drug dose would not change based on the patient’s genotype. However, in the case of CYP3A5 and tacrolimus, a CYP3A5 expresser (i.e., CYP3A5 normal metabolizer or intermediate metabolizer) would require a higher recommended starting dose and the CYP3A5 non-expresser (i.e., poor metabolizer) would require the standard recommended starting dose.

The genetic variation reduces the conversion of tramadol to a metabolite with a higher activity. This can result in reduced analgesia. It is not possible to provide a recommendation for dose adjustment, because the total analgesic effect changes when the ratio between the mother compound and the active metabolite changes.
  1. Be alert to a reduced effectiveness.
  2. In the case of inadequate effectiveness:
  • a. Try a dose increase.
  • b. If this does not work: choose an alternative. Do not select codeine, as this is also metabolised by CYP2D6. Morphine is not metabolised by CYP2D6. Oxycodone is metabolised by CYP2D6 to a limited extent, but this does not result in differences in analgesia in patients.

There are indications of an increased risk of side effects and a reduced chance of efficacy. The gene variation reduces the conversion of venlafaxine to the active metabolite O-desmethylvenlafaxine, whilst an association between high O-desmethylvenlafaxine/venlafaxine ratios and response without side effects was found. It is not possible to offer adequately substantiated advice for dose reduction based on the literature.
  • Avoid venlafaxine. Antidepressants that are not metabolised by CYP2D6 - or to a lesser extent - include, for example, duloxetine, mirtazapine, citalopram and sertraline.
  • If it is not possible to avoid venlafaxine and side effects occur:
  1. Reduce the dose
  2. Monitor the effect and side effects or check the plasma concentrations of venlafaxine and O-desmethylvenlafaxine. It is not known whether it is possible to reduce the dose to such an extent that the side effects disappear, while the effectiveness is maintained. In general, it is assumed that the effectiveness is determined by the sum of the plasma concentrations of venlafaxine and O-desmethylvenlafaxine. However, the side effects do not appear to be related to this sum.

Please follow the flow chart in figure 2 of the CPIC warfarin guideline to determine the appropriate dosing recommendation.
The CPIC warfarin guideline only considers a single SNV in VKORC1 (rs9923231), which has varying frequency among different ancestral populations, and largely explains the differences in average dose requirements between people of European, African, and Asian descents. While other functional variants in VKORC1 have been associated with warfarin resistance (high dose requirements), there are currently no CPIC recommendations for how to use these other variants in warfarin dosing. An alternate name for rs9923231 is -1639G>A (note that VKORC1 is on the negative chromosomal strand, so displayed alleles are complemented).

Disclaimers and Other Information

Liability: PharmCAT assumes no responsibility for any injury to person or damage to persons or property arising out of, or related to any use of PharmCAT, or for any errors or omissions. The user recognizes that PharmCAT is a research tool and that they are using PharmCAT at their own risk.

A. Allele and Genotype Determination

  1. PharmCAT uses gene allele definitions included in the CPIC database, with exceptions as noted in Gene Definition Exceptions document. For allele definitions and the positions used in PharmCAT, see the gene definition tables.

  2. Genes with DPWG recommendations that are not included in CPIC are discussed in Section C.

  3. PharmCAT results are dependent on the supplied VCF calls for the queried positions (for technical information about PharmCAT input formatting and requirements, please go to pharmcat.org). PharmCAT does not assume any reference calls for positions missing from the submitted VCF file; all missing queried positions are not considered in the allele determination process. See the pharmcat_positions file for which positions are queried in the VCF file. Missing positions might alter the assigned genotype and subsequent phenotype prediction and CPIC recommendation. If the supplied VCF file has missing positions, those positions will be noted in Section III: Allele Matching Details for each gene of this report. For the most reliable allele determination, reference calls as well as variant calls in the VCF file for every queried position must be provided by the user. If an allele that includes a missing position is defined by an additional position(s) for which calls are provided, the allele will be considered in the matching process based on the available information. This might lead to the output of multiple possible genotypes that received the same highest matching score. In addition, alternate calls with a lower score is also possible. For instructions on getting PharmCAT to output all possible matching genotypes, consult the documentation.

  4. For cytochrome P450 genes, TPMT, NUDT15, UGT1A1, and SLCO1B1, the *1 allele is defined by the absence of variation specified in the gene definition tables. This allele cannot be identified by variants; rather, *1 is assigned by default when no variation for the queried positions is reported in the submitted VCF file. The same is true for all other genes with multiple variant positions in the definition table (CACNA1S, CFTR, DPYD, RYR1): the reference sequence is the default result when variants are not reported in the VCF file. It is always possible un-interrogated variation can occur which could potentially affect allele function, but because it is undetected, the assignment would be defaulted to a *1 (or reference) allele and normal function.

  5. For all genes, variation reported in the VCF file but NOT included in the gene definition table will not be considered during allele assignment. There is a possibility that any such variation results in a reduced or no activity allele which could lead to inaccurate phenotype and CPIC recommendation, similar to the situation in point 3, above.

  6. Nucleotide base calls are displayed on the positive chromosomal strand regardless of the gene strand; further information is provided under Gene-specific warnings in Section III: Allele Matching Details.

  7. Structural variation star alleles that cannot be detected using VCF file data:

    • CYP2B7-CYP2B6 hybrids: CYP2B6*29, CYP2B6*30
    • Partial and whole gene deletions: CYP2C19*36, CYP2C19*37, CYP4F2*16, SLCO1B1*48, SLCO1B1*49
  8. PharmCAT matches variants to genotypes assuming unphased data (unless phased data is provided in the VCF file and noted as such, see pharmcat.org for details). The assumption is that defined alleles exist in trans configuration, i.e. on opposite chromosomes, with exceptions noted in Section III: Allele Matching Details under "Gene-specific warnings." However, in cases where an allele is defined by a combination of two or more variants, where each variant alone also defines an allele, the match is based on the longer allele. For example, TPMT*3B is defined by one SNP, *3C is defined by another SNP, and *3A is defined by the combination of those two SNPs. In the case of unphased data that is heterozygous for both SNPs, the *1/*3A genotype is returned though the possibility of *3B/*3C cannot be ruled out.

    Below cases are summarized for which two calls with different scores are possible when provided unphased data and heterozygous calls for the variants that define the two alleles. The genotype with the higher score (longer allele) will be used to determine allele functionality, phenotype, and recommendation but the genotype with the lower score cannot be ruled out.

Table 1: Cases for which there is an overlap in the allele definitions.

Table 2: Cases for which there is an overlap in the allele definitions because the definition of the non-*1 allele in the genotype with the higher score allows for reference or variant at the position that defines the first allele listed in the genotype with the lower score. Both genotypes cannot be ruled out with unphased data if the position that overlaps between the respective alleles is heterozygous (0/1) in addition to heterozygous calls for the other variants that define the non-*1 allele in the genotype with the higher score.

B. CPIC Allele Function, Phenotype and Recommendation

All content is sourced from the CPIC database.

C. DPWG Allele Function, Phenotype and Recommendation

  1. PharmGKB annotates PGx-based drug dosing guidelines published by the Royal Dutch Association for the Advancement of Pharmacy - Pharmacogenetics Working Group (DPWG). PharmGKB curates allele function assignments and phenotype mappings from the DPWG to provide genotype specific DPWG guideline recommendations. Where possible, PharmGKB maps DPWG terms to CPIC terms, as outlined on PharmGKB.

  2. CYP3A4 is currently not part of a CPIC guideline. Since the DPWG CYP3A4 documentation includes limit variant notations for the included alleles (only *16, *20, and *22 are specified) PharmCAT relies on PharmVar CYP3A4 allele definitions. However, the CYP3A4*16, *20 and *22 definitions are the same in both sources.

  3. The CPIC UGT1A1 allele definition file includes *6, *27, *28, *36, *37, and *80. Since the DPWG UGT1A1 document does not include allele definitions besides for the UGT1A1 TA box promoter polymorphism, PharmCAT only includes the UGT1A1 positions from the CPIC UGT1A1 allele definition file. Other UGT1A1 alleles can be supplied as outside calls but not be determined from the VCF file by the Named Allele Matcher.

D. FDA drug-label and Table of Pharmacogenetic Associations recommendations

PharmCAT includes recommendations from PharmGKB-annotated FDA drug labels and the FDA Table of Pharmacogenetic Associations. It only contains FDA information for genes with CPIC or DPWG guidelines because the FDA does not offer any genotype-to-phenotype mapping information. PharmCAT uses CPIC genotype-to-phenotype mappings when they exist, and DPWG genotype-to-phenotype mappings when no CPIC mappings exist, to determine the phenotypes to use with FDA label annotations and Table of Pharmacogenetic Associations entries. Results presented for FDA Table of Pharmacogenetic Associations use wording and “Affected Subgroups” taken directly from the Table. Results presented from PharmGKB-annotated drug labels present wording from the specific label that was curated. In many cases, multiple FDA labels may exist for a particular medication. Typically, PharmGKB annotates the label linked to from the FDA Table of Pharmacogenomic Biomarkers in Drug Labeling but in some cases a different label may be annotated. Follow the “FDA Label Annotation” link in section II of the report to access the annotated label and more information.

E. Source Tags in Section II

Part of PharmGKB’s annotations of guidelines, drug labels and Table of Pharmacogenetic Associations is the assignment of labels that are meant to provide a high-level indication of the provided action. If recommendations or FDA Table wording exists, yellow boxes display if the guidance/wording is regarding (1) a dosing change, (2) recommending an alternate drug be used, or (3) other guidance. These boxes are included in the Source column in Section II of the PharmCAT report. More detailed information about what the yellow boxes mean is available on PharmGKB.

F. PharmCAT Exceptions to the CPIC Guideline Gene List

  1. PharmCAT does not determine CYP2D6, MT-RNR1, HLA-A, or HLA-B genotypes from the VCF file, but genotypes for CYP2D6, MT-RNR1, HLA-A, or HLA-B can be provided to PharmCAT from an outside source and the corresponding phenotype prescribing recommendations will be included in the generated report. For the required format of the outside calls refer to the PharmCAT outside calls documentation.

  2. CPIC has assigned function to the following CYP2D6 CNV alleles: *1x2, *1x≥3, *2x2, *2x≥3, *3x2, *4x2, *4x≥3, *6x2, *9x2, *10x2, *17x2, *29x2, *35x2, *36x2, *41x2, *41x3, *43x2, *45x2, *146x2. These alleles are part of the CPIC diplotype to phenotype translation and can be connected to recommendations. Other CNV notations from outside calls need to be mapped accordingly.

G. CPIC Guideline Disclaimers and Caveats

  1. A version of the following quoted disclaimer is part of each CPIC guideline and applies to the CPIC recommendations as used in PharmCAT. For the full description of potential benefits and risks, additional considerations (general and specific to gene-drug pairs), limitations, information about respective gene nomenclature systems, potential drug-drug interactions and clinical factors to consider, please see individual CPIC guidelines at (cpicpgx.org).

    1. "CPIC guidelines reflect expert consensus based on clinical evidence and peer-reviewed literature available at the time they are written and are intended only to assist clinicians in decision-making and to identify questions for further research. New evidence may have emerged since the time a guideline was submitted for publication. Guidelines are limited in scope and are not applicable to interventions or diseases not specifically identified. Guidelines do not account for all individual variations among patients and cannot be considered inclusive of all proper methods of care or exclusive of other treatments. It remains the responsibility of the health-care provider to determine the best course of treatment for a patient. Adherence to any guidelines is voluntary, with the ultimate determination regarding its application to be made solely by the clinician and the patient. CPIC assumes no responsibility for any injury to persons or damage to persons or property arising out of or related to any use of CPIC's guidelines, or for any errors or omissions." (PMID: 27997040)

    2. "Caveats: appropriate use and/or potential misuse of genetic tests. The application of genotype-based dosing is most appropriate when initiating therapy with a tricyclic. Obtaining a pharmacogenetic test after months of drug therapy may be less helpful in some instances, as the drug dose may have already been adjusted based on plasma concentrations, response, or side effects. Similar to all diagnostic tests, genetic tests are one of several pieces of clinical information that should be considered before initiating drug therapy." (PMID: 27997040)

  2. CPIC guidelines reflect the alleles/genotypes known and considered by the guideline authors for inclusion by the time of publication, however they may be updated online at cpicpgx.org and in the CPIC database in between publications. Additional alleles and/or more extensive allele definitions might exist by the representative gene nomenclatures for various genes.
