    Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC) Guideline for CYP2B6 and Efavirenz-Containing Antiretroviral Therapy
    (Wiley, 2019-04-21) Desta, Zeruesenay; Gammal, Roseann S.; Gong, Li; Whirl-Carrillo, Michelle; Gaur, Aditya H.; Sukasem, Chonlaphat; Hockings, Jennifer; Myers, Alan; Swart, Marelize; Tyndale, Rachel F.; Masimirembwa, Collen; Iwuchukwu, Otito F.; Chirwa, Sanika; Lennox, Jeffrey; Gaedigk, Andrea; Klein, Teri E.; Haas, David W.; Medicine, School of Medicine
    The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type-1 non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor, efavirenz, is widely used to treat HIV-1 infection. Efavirenz is predominantly metabolized into inactive metabolites by CYP2B6, and patients with certain CYP2B6 genetic variants may be at increased risk for adverse effects, particularly central nervous system toxicity and treatment discontinuation. We summarize the evidence from the literature and provide therapeutic recommendations for efavirenz prescribing based on CYP2B6 genotypes.

    PharmVar GeneFocus: CYP2B6
    (Wiley, 2021) Desta, Zeruesenay; El-Boraie, Ahmed; Gong, Li; Somogyi, Andrew A.; Lauschke, Volker M.; Dandara, Collet; Klein, Kathrin; Miller, Neil; Klein, Teri E.; Tyndale, Rachel F.; Whirl-Carrillo, Michelle; Gaedigk, Andrea; Medicine, School of Medicine
    The Pharmacogene Variation Consortium (PharmVar) catalogs star (*) allele nomenclature for the polymorphic human CYP2B6 gene. Genetic variation within the CYP2B6 gene locus impacts the metabolism or bioactivation of clinically important drugs. Of particular importance are efficacy and safety concerns regarding: efavirenz, which is used for the treatment of HIV type-1 infection; methadone, a mainstay in the treatment of opioid use disorder and as an analgesic; ketamine, used as an antidepressant and analgesic; and bupropion, which is prescribed to treat depression and for smoking cessation. This GeneFocus provides a comprehensive overview and summary of CYP2B6 and describes how haplotype information catalogued by PharmVar is utilized by the Pharmacogenomics Knowledgebase (PharmGKB) and the Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC).
