Table of Pharmacogenetic Associations
February 25, 20201
Pharmacogenetic tests, along with other information about patients and their disease or condition, can play an important role in drug therapy. When a health care provider is considering prescribing a drug, knowledge of a patient's genotype may be used to aid in determining a therapeutic strategy, determining an appropriate dosage, or assessing the likelihood of benefit or toxicity.
The table below lists pharmacogenetic associations that FDA has evaluated and believes there is sufficient scientific evidence to suggest that subgroups of patients with certain genetic variants, or genetic variant-inferred phenotypes (i.e., affected subgroup in the table below), are likely to have altered drug metabolism, and in certain cases, differential therapeutic effects, including differences in risks of adverse events. The fact that FDA has included a particular gene-drug interaction in the table does not necessarily mean FDA advocates using a pharmacogenetic test before prescribing the corresponding medication, unless the test is a companion diagnostic. Tests that are essential for the safe and effective use of a therapeutic product, including those that identify patients for which the drug is contraindicated, are companion diagnostics. This table is not intended to affect current regulatory requirements or policies, including FDA's policy regarding companion diagnostics.2 Nor is the table intended to make an assessment on the safe and effective use of, or regulatory requirements for, tests that detect variants in the referenced genes, or to provide comprehensive information on the described gene-drug interactions.
Specific information regarding therapeutic management is provided for some pharmacogenetic associations listed in the table, but most of the associations listed have not been evaluated in terms of the impact of genetic testing on clinical outcomes, such as improved therapeutic effectiveness or increased risk of specific adverse events. In addition, clinical studies, if available, may only have linked genetic variation to a drug's pharmacokinetics (i.e., the way in which the drug is metabolized), and differences in drug efficacy or safety across different genotype subgroups may not be known. If no statements related to efficacy or toxicity are provided, the scientific evidence FDA reviewed was considered insufficient to support such associations.
FDA recognizes that practitioners will take into account different sources and strengths of evidence and will make prescribing decisions based on their judgment about which treatments are appropriate for individual patients. In particular, each patient's genetic makeup is only one of many factors that may impact drug concentrations and response, highlighting the fact that information provided in this table is limited to certain pharmacogenetic associations only and does not provide comprehensive information needed for safe and effective use of a drug. Accordingly, health care providers should refer to FDA-approved labeling for prescribing information, including monitoring instructions and information on other factors that may affect drug concentrations, benefits, and risks. In this context, the information in this Table is intended primarily for prescribers, and patients should not adjust their medications without consulting their prescriber.
This version of the table is limited to pharmacogenetic associations that are related to drug metabolizing enzyme gene variants, drug transporter gene variants, and gene variants that have been related to a predisposition for certain adverse events. FDA recognizes that various other pharmacogenetic associations exist that are not listed here, and this table will be updated periodically with additional pharmacogenetic associations supported by sufficient scientific evidence. FDA has opened a docket for stakeholders—including scientific and medical communities, patients, providers, and industry—to offer specific comments on pharmacogenetic associations that FDA should or should not include in this table, along with the rationale and underlying evidence that supports the pharmacogenetic association.
Please submit all comments to the open docket. Please submit any questions to PGx@fda.hhs.gov.

+ The table describes gene-drug interactions and indicates specific affected subgroup(s) to which the interaction applies. The affected subgroup(s) may be carriers of a specific genetic variant (e.g., HLA-B*15:02), or a genotype-inferred phenotype, ultrarapid, normal, intermediate, or poor metabolizers/function transporters of a drug metabolizing enzyme/drug transporter. Normal metabolizers or normal transporters do not have genetic variants that are expected to impact metabolism or transport function. In general, ultrarapid metabolizers have two or more copies of a genetic variant that increases metabolic function; intermediate metabolizers or reduced function transporters are individuals who have one or two copies of a genetic variant that reduces the ability to metabolize or transport a drug; and poor metabolizers or poor function transporters are individuals who generally have two copies of a genetic variant that results in little to no ability to metabolize or transport a drug.
When evaluating if a gene-drug association is supported, FDA believes it is important to ensure that there is sufficient scientific evidence to support:
- the relationship between the detected genetic variant and as appropriate, diplotypes, and the affected subgroup, and
- the association between the affected subgroup and the claimed gene-drug interaction.
In some cases, a specific genetic variant may affect the metabolism of different drugs in different ways. In cases where the association is limited to specific genetic variants and does not apply to all individuals with the genotype-inferred phenotype, the specific variants are provided in the table. In cases where individual genetic variants are not listed in the table, FDA believes there is sufficient scientific evidence to generally support the described association for the genotype-inferred phenotype subgroup, provided specific genetic variants are determined to confer the genotype-inferred phenotype based on sufficient scientific evidence.
For example, when considering, as described in the table, that poor and intermediate metabolizers of CYP2C19 have higher systemic active metabolite concentrations, higher adverse reaction risk, and dosage adjustments are recommended when taking clobazam, sufficient scientific evidence supports the following, with respect to the *2 allele:
- The functionality of the *2 variant is known, i.e., the *2 variant results in a loss of CYP2C19 enzyme function, and
- *1/*2 confers an intermediate metabolizer phenotype and *2/*2 confers a poor metabolizer phenotype.
