Genotypes

Poor metabolizer (PM)

Heterozygous null and reduced metabolism

Intermediate metabolizer (IM)

Homozyogous ultra metabolism

  1. 1For each allele, a score of 0 is given for null genes, 0.5 for intermediate, and1.0 for extensive metabolizers. Alleles carrying gene duplications receive double the value compared to the assigned activity score with a single gene copy. The sum of both alleles is given.
