The genes behind this label

The guidelines read one gene for efavirenz. Each card shows the two copies this person inherited and what they mean.

CYP2B6Your two copies: *18+Unknown/*9

Unable to determine

One copy (*9) works less well. The other (*18) also carries a variant that doesn't match any known version of the gene. So we can't say how well CYP2B6 works overall.

Breaks down efavirenz, ketamine, methadone and some drugs for depression.

No clear result for this gene (see above), so its part in the label is unknown.
