Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC) Guidelines for Codeine Therapy in the Context of Cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) Genotype

Abstract: Codeine is bioactivated to morphine, a strong opioid agonist, by the hepatic cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6); hence, the efficacy and safety of codeine as an analgesic are governed by CYP2D6 polymorphisms. Codeine has little therapeutic effect in patients who are CYP2D6 poor metabolizers, whereas the risk of morphine toxicity is higher in ultrarapid metabolizers. The purpose of this guideline (periodically updated at http://www.pharmgkb.org) is to provide information relating to the interpretation of CYP2D6 genot… Show more

“…CYP2D6*10 is reported to be present in 11-70% of Asian populations [41,60], while it is seldom higher than 10% in populations of African origin [8,59]. CYP2D6*17 and CYP2D6*29, among others, are accepted as being African-specific alleles, and are present at frequencies of up to 34% and 29%, respectively .…”

“…are seldom observed [59]. CYP2D6*5 is characterized by a deletion of the entire gene, and is present at similar frequencies of less than 10% in all populations, with the exception of a handful of African populations, where the allele may be as frequent as 19% [8].…”

“…Clinically significant toxic effects related to opioid excess have been reported in ultrarapid metabolizers, which suggests that the risk of toxic effects from codeine depends, in part, on genotype. 1 In April 2012, a case series was published reporting two deaths and one case of respiratory depression in children 3 to 5 years of age who had received typical doses of codeine after tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy, or both performed because of obstructive sleep apnea. 2 The two deaths occurred in children who had evidence of being ultrarapid metabolizers, and the postmortem morphine levels in these children were substantially high- er than the therapeutic range.…”

“…1 The gene encoding CYP2D6 has many genetic variations that affect the amount of codeine that is converted to an active form and that result in the drug's variable effect. Patients with a normal range of CYP2D6 activity represent 75 to 92% of the population and are called extensive metabolizers.…”
