How to read this report
  1. Step 1

    Two copies of each gene

    You inherit one copy from each parent. The report names the pair, such as *1/*2.

  2. Step 2

    The pair gives a gene result

    Such as Poor metabolizer. The color shows it: typical, reduced, poor.

  3. Step 3

    The result sets each medication's label

    Consider alternative Use with caution Use as directed No known risk variants found Unable to determine

  4. Step 4

    Then talk to your prescriber

    Don't change or stop a medication on your own. Unable to determine doesn't mean normal.

CYP2D6Ultrarapid metabolizer

In plain words
Your body clears this medicine very quickly, so you may need a higher dose to get the right effect.
What it means
Based on very limited data available for CYP2D6 ultrarapid metabolizers taking atomoxetine, it is unlikely ultrarapid metabolizers would achieve adequate serum concentrations for the intended effect at standard dosing.
What the guideline suggests
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.
In plain words
Your CYP2D6 result means higher CYP2D6 activity than usual, but the FDA gives no genetic dosing change for atomoxetine at this result.
What it means
No FDA guidance for your genotype
What the label suggests
Initiate therapy with recommended starting dose.

WarfarinCoumadin Use with caution Your genes suggest a lower dose may be safer. Your doctor can decide.CYP2C9Intermediate metabolizerVKORC1Normal expressionCYP4F2Indeterminate

CYP2C9Intermediate metabolizerVKORC1Normal expressionCYP4F2Indeterminate

Estimated dose: 3.5-6 mg/day (lower than typical starting dose).

In plain words
Your genes suggest a lower dose may be safer. Your doctor can decide.

Based on your CYP2C9 (*1/*8) and VKORC1 (-1639G/-1639G) genotypes, your predicted stable warfarin dose is 3.5-6 mg/day (decreased ~15-30% for CYP2C9 *5/*6/*8/*11). This estimate is genotype-based only and does not account for age, weight, or interacting drugs. A clinician should confirm the starting dose using a validated pharmacogenetic dosing algorithm.

Base genotype dose (CYP2C9 *1/*1, VKORC1 GG): 5-7 mg/day. Because you carry a CYP2C9 *5, *6, *8, or *11 reduced-function allele, your estimated dose is decreased by about 15-30%.

CPIC reads your CYP2C9, VKORC1 and CYP4F2 results together for warfarin, so this label reflects all of them.

Gene2Rx research summary, both genes together

Evidence: weakSee the drug page (Gene2Rx research summaries, opens in a new tab)

In plain words
You can expect average weight loss on this drug. Your genes also give the lowest chance of stomach side effects.
What it means
GLP1R: the more common Pro7/Pro7 form of the signal peptide (rs10305420 C/C). GIPR: full-function Glu354/Glu354 (rs1800437 G/G). This is the lowest-risk genotype pair for GI side effects. Expected weight-loss efficacy from the GLP1R arm of retatrutide. GIPR is full-function, so it adds no extra GI risk on retatrutide.
What the research suggests
Standard dosing and titration are expected to produce an average response.

Gene2Rx guideline extrapolated from the tirzepatide results in Su et al., Nature (2026). Retatrutide, an investigational GIP, GLP-1 and glucagon receptor agonist, has no genetic study of its own, so this assumes the GLP1R and GIPR variants act as they do with tirzepatide, which also acts on both receptors.

Gene2Rx reads your GLP1R and GIPR results together for retatrutide, so this label reflects both genes.

What it means
GLP1R: the more common Pro7/Pro7 form of the signal peptide (rs10305420 C/C). GIPR: full-function Glu354/Glu354 (rs1800437 G/G). This is the lowest-risk genotype pair: estimated risk of moderate-to-severe vomiting on tirzepatide is about 2.5%, and nausea about 14%. Expected weight-loss efficacy from the GLP1R arm of tirzepatide. GIPR is full-function, so it adds no extra GI risk on tirzepatide.
What the research suggests
Standard dosing and titration are expected to produce an average response.

Gene2Rx guideline based on Su et al., Nature (2026), which linked GLP1R rs10305420 and GIPR rs1800437 to nausea and vomiting on tirzepatide. The GIPR effect was specific to tirzepatide and was not seen with semaglutide.

SULT1A1Decreased function

In plain words
You may turn less minoxidil into its active form, so it may regrow less hair. It can still help. If results are poor, ask your doctor about other options.
What it means
Your SULT1A1 result suggests reduced enzyme function. This enzyme helps activate topical minoxidil (Rogaine). Reduced activation may limit hair regrowth, even with consistent use. This result does not rule out benefit from treatment.
What the research suggests
If hair growth is limited despite consistent use, discuss additional or alternative treatments with your clinician.

Alcohol Use as directed Your genes have little effect on how your body handles alcohol.ADH1BNormal functionALDH2Normal function

ADH1BNormal function

In plain words
Your genes have little effect on how your body handles alcohol.
What it means
Two Arg48 alleles (rs1229984). Usual rate of ethanol oxidation. Compared with His48 carriers, associated with higher risk of alcohol dependence and, among heavy drinkers in East Asian studies, higher risk of esophageal and head and neck cancer. Only rs1229984 is assessed: ADH1B*3 (rs2066702), common in people of African ancestry, is not read, so its carriers are reported here.
What the research suggests
Follow standard guidelines for alcohol consumption.

ALDH2Normal function

In plain words
Your genes have little effect on how you clear the toxic by-product of alcohol.
What it means
Two Glu504 alleles (rs671 G/G, ALDH2*1/*1). Normal acetaldehyde clearance; typical risk of flushing, hangover and alcohol dependence for this gene.
What the research suggests
Standard advice on drinking limits.
CaffeineCoffee, Tea Use as directed Your body clears caffeine at an expected rate. The usual advice on caffeine limits applies.CYP1A2Normal metabolizer

KetamineKetalar Unable to determine We cannot tell from this result how your genetics affect ketamine clearance.CYP2B6Indeterminate

CYP2B6Indeterminate

In plain words
We cannot tell from this result how your genetics affect ketamine clearance.
What it means
The alleles detected cannot be assigned a CYP2B6 function, so no phenotype can be inferred.
What the research suggests
A genotype-based dosing recommendation cannot be determined from this result.
LSDAcid Use as directed Your result suggests faster clearance of LSD, but no research has looked at this group.CYP2D6Ultrarapid metabolizer

CYP2D6Ultrarapid metabolizer

In plain words
Your result suggests faster clearance of LSD, but no research has looked at this group.
What it means
Increased CYP2D6 activity, so faster LSD clearance is expected. The pooled clinical analysis compared participants with no functional CYP2D6 against carriers of functional CYP2D6 and did not examine ultrarapid metabolizers separately. This result cannot be produced from uploaded data, because increased-function CYP2D6 alleles are gene duplications, which are not detected.
What the research suggests
No genotype-based adjustment. Monitor participant-reported experiential responses.

COMTDecreased function

Gene2Rx research summary

Use with caution Evidence: weakSee the drug page (Gene2Rx research summaries, opens in a new tab)

In plain words
Your genotype has been linked to more dizziness, anxiety and sedation after MDMA, and to a larger drop in blood sodium.
What it means
Two rs4680 A alleles (Met158/Met158), the lower-activity form. In a controlled study, lower-activity COMT genotypes were associated with more negative subjective effects after MDMA, specifically dizziness, anxiety and sedation. In a field study of clubbers, low-activity COMT genotypes were associated with larger falls in plasma sodium and osmolality, the mechanism behind MDMA-related dilutional hyponatraemia.
What the research suggests
If exposure occurs, monitor neurological and cardiovascular status and fluid intake. Both supporting studies are small and unreplicated.

CYP2D6Ultrarapid metabolizer

In plain words
You may clear this drug faster than average. No dose change is suggested for your result.
What it means
Increased CYP2D6 activity, so faster O-demethylenation of MDMA is expected. No study has examined MDMA in ultrarapid metabolizers. This result cannot be produced from uploaded consumer array or sequencing data, because increased-function CYP2D6 alleles are gene duplications, which are not detected.
What the research suggests
No genotype-based adjustment. MDMA has no approved medical use; if exposure occurs, monitor body temperature, blood pressure and neurological status.
NicotineCigarettes, Zyn Use with caution This result has been studied in relation to smoking, but the findings are mixed. Some studies found people with it did better when quitting with nicotine replacement.CHRNA5Normal functionCOMTDecreased functionCYP2A6Intermediate metabolizer

CHRNA5Normal function

In plain words
Your genes give you a typical risk of becoming hooked on nicotine.
What it means
rs16969968 G/G (Asp398/Asp398). No added risk of heavier smoking or delayed cessation from this variant.
What the research suggests
Typical response to nicotine. Standard cessation counseling and pharmacotherapy as indicated.

COMTDecreased function

Gene2Rx research summary

Use with caution Evidence: weakSee the drug page (Gene2Rx research summaries, opens in a new tab)

In plain words
This result has been studied in relation to smoking, but the findings are mixed. Some studies found people with it did better when quitting with nicotine replacement.
What it means
rs4680 Met/Met. Lowest COMT activity (Met is described as having 3 to 4 times lower activity than Val). Some studies associate Met/Met with better quitting on nicotine replacement and others find weak or no association with smoking heaviness or cessation.
What the research suggests
No reliable genotype-based change to cessation treatment; standard counseling and pharmacotherapy.

CYP2A6Intermediate metabolizer

Gene2Rx research summary

Use as directed Evidence: moderateSee the drug page (Gene2Rx research summaries, opens in a new tab)

In plain words
You clear nicotine a little more slowly than average.
What it means
One reduced-function allele. Nicotine clearance is moderately reduced, giving modestly higher and longer-lasting nicotine levels; reduced CYP2A6 function is associated with smoking fewer cigarettes per day.
What the research suggests
Nicotine remains in circulation longer; no change to standard cessation treatment is needed on the basis of this result.
THCCannabis, Marijuana Use with caution You make less of the enzyme that clears your body's own cannabinoids. What this means for how THC affects you is not settled by the research so far.AKT1Normal functionCOMTDecreased functionCYP2C9Intermediate metabolizerFAAHDecreased function

AKT1Normal function

Gene2Rx research summary

Use as directed Evidence: moderateSee the drug page (Gene2Rx research summaries, opens in a new tab)

In plain words
This gene does not raise your risk of paranoid thoughts from THC. Your risk is typical.
What it means
Two rs2494732 T alleles. In the gene-environment studies of cannabis and psychosis, this genotype showed no excess of psychotic-like effects.
What the research suggests
No AKT1-based adjustment. The usual risk of transient psychotic-like effects from THC applies.

COMTDecreased function

Gene2Rx research summary

Use as directed Evidence: weakSee the drug page (Gene2Rx research summaries, opens in a new tab)

In plain words
This result has been described as buffering some effects of cannabis, but other studies found the opposite, so it should not be read as protection.
What it means
Two rs4680 A alleles (Met158/Met158). Lower COMT activity and higher baseline prefrontal dopamine. Whether this reduces the psychotomimetic response to THC is unresolved: a meta-analysis of gene-environment studies found the interaction significant only in case-only designs, where Met/Met was the risk genotype, and a pooled analysis of placebo-controlled THC studies found the strongest dysphoric reactions in Met/Met participants.
What the research suggests
No COMT-based adjustment. Monitor for unexpected reactions; this genotype should not be interpreted as protective.

CYP2C9Intermediate metabolizer (activity score 1.5)

Gene2Rx research summary

Use as directed Evidence: weakSee the drug page (Gene2Rx research summaries, opens in a new tab)

In plain words
Your body may break down THC slightly more slowly than average, so effects could feel a little stronger or last a little longer.
What it means
Activity score 1.5 (one decreased-function allele, usually *2). Slightly reduced hydroxylation of THC. In the only published pharmacokinetic study of oral THC by CYP2C9 genotype, *2 status alone did not change THC exposure, so any increase at this activity score is expected to be small.
What the research suggests
Initiate at standard doses. Monitor for increased sedation or psychotropic intensity.

FAAHDecreased function

Gene2Rx research summary

Use with caution Evidence: weakSee the drug page (Gene2Rx research summaries, opens in a new tab)

In plain words
You make less of the enzyme that clears your body's own cannabinoids. What this means for how THC affects you is not settled by the research so far.
What it means
One or two rs324420 A alleles (Pro129Thr). The variant protein is catalytically normal but less stable, and homozygous carriers have under half the usual FAAH protein and activity; brain imaging shows lower FAAH binding in A-allele carriers. Baseline anandamide tone is therefore higher. The consequences for cannabis are unresolved: the variant was associated with problem drug use in the original reports, but in cannabis-specific studies A/A carriers were less likely to be THC dependent and C/C carriers reported more craving after abstinence.
What the research suggests
No reliable FAAH-based dose adjustment can be given. If THC is used, monitor for unusually intense subjective effects or craving.

About this report

What it covers, where the guidance comes from, and what the data can and can't show.

What's in it

120 medications, 26 groups, 30 genes

Full Report, version 4.6. Made Nov 8, 2026 from a WGS file.

This report includes information about how your pharmacogenetics may influence your response to the medications assessed in this report. Coverage depends on your data and report tier. A medication missing from this report may still have guidance from a clinical guideline or product label.

What's new in version 4.6Download the PDF

What the data can show

  • 27 of 30 genes have a clear result from the whole-genome data.
  • 117 medications have a result.
  • No clear result for CYP2B6, CYP3A4, CYP4F2, so 3 medications show "Unable to determine." The gene list says why for each one.
  • CYP2D6 structure measured from the reads in the BAM or CRAM file.

Where the guidance comes from

Every medication names its source, and some have more than one. Gene2Rx is not affiliated with or endorsed by CPIC, the FDA or DPWG.

  • CPICClinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium. Peer-reviewed prescribing guidelines.64 medications
  • DPWGDutch Pharmacogenetics Working Group. Prescribing guidelines used across Europe.9 medications
  • FDAU.S. Food and Drug Administration. Pharmacogenetic information in drug labels.61 medications
  • Gene2RxGene2Rx research summaries. Published studies we summarize where no guideline exists yet.11 medications

How we read your DNA

  1. Step 1

    We read each gene's positions directly from your whole-genome file.

  2. Step 2

    We name the two copies of each gene you inherited, such as *1/*2.

  3. Step 3

    We look up what that pair means in published tables, then match it to each medication's guidance.

Questions

What do I do now?
If you may have an unusual response to a medication you take or are thinking about taking, talk with your healthcare provider or a genetic counselor before making any changes. The sources linked beside each finding explain its evidence and limits. Not every finding supports a treatment change.
Should I change medications or my dose based on this report?
No. Don't change a dose or stop a medication without talking to your healthcare provider first. Consumer DNA data is not clinical grade, so use this report to start a conversation with your provider, who may order a clinical lab test. Read more about consumer tests and the research behind this advice.
Are these expert annotations?
Each finding names its source. This report includes CPIC, FDA, DPWG and Gene2Rx interpretations, with different levels of evidence. Those organizations don't endorse Gene2Rx's own interpretations, which explain the research behind a finding and its limits.
Why would my results change?
Your genes don't change, but research does. Guidelines and drug labels are updated when new research meets strict standards and experts agree. Your report keeps the guidance used when it was made; an updated report can use newer guidance.
I don't see my medication. Why not?
Not every medication is affected by genetics, and some need more research before guidance exists. A medication can also be missing because of your report tier, your data or what this report covers. A missing medication may still have guidance from a clinical guideline or a drug label.
Does Gene2Rx check CYP2D6 copy number?
Yes, for this report. CYP2D6's structure (deletions, duplications and gene fusions with CYP2D7) was measured from the reads in the BAM or CRAM file, and every CYP2D6 medication uses that result. The report says when a call is less certain, and what the next most likely result would change.

More questions? Email contact@gene2rx.com.

This is not a clinical test. Results are predictions from consumer DNA data and published research. They may be wrong. Don't change or stop a medication without talking to your prescriber, and confirm any result that matters with a clinical-grade test.

This complete edition includes every gene result and every medication in this report tier, including results labeled “Use as directed,” all source guidance, evidence levels and limitations.

This is not a clinical test. Results are predictions from consumer DNA data and published research. The quality of submitted data is not independently verified and errors can affect the report. Do not change a dose or stop a medication without talking to your prescriber. Confirm any result that matters with a clinical-grade test.

Coverage depends on your data and report tier. A medication missing from this report may still have guidance from a clinical guideline or product label.

Reading the guidance

Consider alternative 18
Use with caution 35
Use as directed 57
No known risk variants found 7
Unable to determine 3

Use as directed: no change suggested by the assessed genetic findings. Use with caution: a dose change, slower titration or monitoring may be suggested. Consider alternative: discuss another medication or the source’s dose advice. Unable to determine: the available data could not establish a result. No known risk variants found: a WGS screen of RYR1 and CACNA1S found no CPIC-listed malignant hyperthermia variant (CPIC: uncertain susceptibility); this does not exclude MH susceptibility. These labels do not guarantee effectiveness or freedom from side effects.

No known anesthesia risk variant was found. No CPIC-listed malignant-hyperthermia-associated variant was detected in the supplied WGS data. Susceptibility remains uncertain: this targeted screen cannot rule out malignant hyperthermia, and coverage at sites absent from your file could not be verified.

Screening details

RYR1: No known risk variants found

Coverage at absent sites is unverified; absent records are not reference calls.

CACNA1S: No known risk variants found
