There are Two Important Variants for CYP2C19.

  1. CYP2C19:636G>A
  2. CYP2C19:681G>A


1. CYP2C19:636G>A

Gene HGNC Name: CYP2C19
Variant Summary: The G>A change at position 636 in the cDNA results in a premature termination codon at amino acid 212 (W212X) [PMID: 7969038]. CYP2C19: 636G>A is the defining SNP of the CYP2C19*3 haplotype.
Key PubMed IDs: 7969038; 7586932
GoldenPath Position: Chr10:96530400  (hg18)
mRNA Variant & GenBank ID: G>A at 636 on NM_000769
Genomic Variant & GenBank ID: G>A at 19952 on AY796203.1
Protein Variant & GenBank ID: Trp>Ter at 212 on NP_000760
dbSNP rs#: rs4986893
Key Drugs/Substrates: lansoprazole; omeprazole; pantoprazole; rabeprazole; phenytoin; mephenytoin; phenobarbitone; amitriptyline; carisoprodol; citalopram; clomipramine; cyclophosphamide; hexobarbital; imipramine; indomethacin; mephobarbital; moclobemide; nelfinavir; nilutamide; primidone; progesterone; proguanil; propranolol; teniposide; warfarin
Key Phenotypes/Diseases: Phenotypes: Mephenytoin poor metabolizer (OMIM: 124020); Omeprazole poor metabolizer (OMIM: 124020); Proguanil poor metabolizer (OMIM: 124020)
Key Haplotypes CYP2C19*3


2. CYP2C19:681G>A

Gene HGNC Name: CYP2C19
Variant Summary: The CYP2C19:681G>A variant introduces a splicing defect altering the reading frame of the mRNA starting with amino acid 215 and produces a premature stop codon 20 amino acids downstream, which results in a truncated, non-functional protein responsible for the poor metabolizer phenotype [PMID: 8195181]. This SNP is the defining SNP of the CYP2C19*2 haplotype.
Key PubMed IDs: 8195181; 9732415 ; 19706858
GoldenPath Position: Chr10:96531606  (hg18)
mRNA Variant & GenBank ID: G>A at 681 on NM_000769
Genomic Variant & GenBank ID: G>A at 21158 on AY796203.1
Protein Variant & GenBank ID: Pro>Pro at 227 on NP_000760
dbSNP rs#: rs4244285
Key Drugs/Substrates: lansoprazole; omeprazole; pantoprazole; rabeprazole; phenytoin; mephenytoin; phenobarbitone; amitriptyline; carisoprodol; clopidogrel; citalopram; clomipramine; cyclophosphamide; hexobarbital; imipramine; indomethacin; mephobarbital; moclobemide; nelfinavir; nilutamide; primidone; progesterone; proguanil; propranolol; teniposide; warfarin
Key Phenotypes/Diseases: Phenotypes: Mephenytoin poor metabolizer (OMIM: 124020); Omeprazole poor metabolizer (OMIM: 124020); Proguanil poor metabolizer (OMIM: 124020); Clopidogrel poor metabolizer (OMIM: 124020); (OMIM: 609535)
Key Haplotypes CYP2C19*2
