Cytochrome P450 2C19
CYP2C19 handles several SSRIs (citalopram, escitalopram, sertraline), proton pump inhibitors (omeprazole, esomeprazole), and the blood thinner clopidogrel. About 2 to 5 percent of people of European descent and 15 to 20 percent of people of East Asian descent are poor metabolizers. Another 30 percent carry a rapid-metabolizer variant.
