1. The patient obtains information about a commercially available CYP2C19

pharmacogenomic test and decides to complete the test. The test reveals

that she has a CYP2C19*3/*3 genotype. Based on the patient’s genotype,

what is her anticipated CYP2C19 enzyme activity?

a. Normal CYP2C19 enzyme activity

b. Increased CYP2C19 enzyme activity

c. Decreased CYP2C19 enzyme activity

d. No CYP2C19 enzyme activity

2. Based on the patient’s CYP2C19*3/*3 genotype, what is the anticipated

effect on omeprazole pharmacokinetics?

a. Decreased omeprazole area under the concentration–time curve

b. Increased omeprazole plasma concentrations

c. Decreased omeprazole volume of distribution

d. Increased omeprazole clearance

Case 2

KK is a 29-year-old breastfeeding woman who is receiving codeine after giving birth

to a healthy baby boy. After three days, she started to experience symptoms of sleepiness

and dizziness. Now, after five days, she noticed that her infant seems sleepy all

day, does not want to breastfeed, and may be losing body tone.

3. Codeine is metabolized to morphine by which CYP enzyme?

a. CYP2D6

b. CYP2C9

c. CYP2C19

d. CYP3A4

4. Which metabolizer phenotype most accurately describes a person who does

not respond to codeine?

a. Extensive metabolizer

b. Intermediate metabolizer

c. Poor metabolizer

d. Ultrarapid metabolizer

5. Which ethnic population has the highest incidence of carbamazepineinduced

SJS/TEN?

a. African Americans

b. Caucasians

c. Han Chinese

d. Hispanics
