The Pharmacogene Variation Consortium (PharmVar) provides nomenclature for the highly polymorphic human  CYP2D6  gene locus.  CYP2D6  genetic variation impacts the metabolism of numerous drugs and, thus, can impact drug efficacy and safety. This GeneFocus provides a comprehensive overview and summary of  CYP2D6  genetic variation and describes how the information provided by PharmVar is utilized by the Pharmacogenomics Knowledgebase (PharmGKB) and the Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC).
