Test ID 3A5Q Cytochrome P450 3A5 Genotype, Varies


Ordering Guidance


Testing is available as the single gene assay (this test) and as a part of a psychotropic or focused pharmacogenomics panel.

 

If multiple pharmacogenomic genotype testing is desired, order PGXQP / Focused Pharmacogenomics Panel, Varies.

 

If genotype testing for psychotropic medications is desired, order PSYQP / Psychotropic Pharmacogenomics Gene Panel, Varies.



Additional Testing Requirements


In general, most drugs metabolized by CYP3A5 are also metabolized by CYP3A4 and usually to a greater degree than CYP3A5. For this reason, substrates of these 2 enzymes are sometimes listed together in publications and genotyping of both genes might be needed to fully understand the metabolism of these drugs and predict phenotype. If CYP3A4 genotyping is needed, order 3A4Q / Cytochrome P450 3A4 Genotype, Varies.



Specimen Required


Multiple genotype tests can be performed on a single specimen after a single extraction. See Multiple Genotype Test List for a list of tests that can be ordered together.
