AIM: This study was aimed to functionally characterize four novel CYP2D6 alleles identified in Chinese Han population. MATERIALS & METHODS: CYP2D6 proteins of wild-type and the four novel variants along with CYP2D6.2 and CYP2D6.10 were heterologously expressed in yeast cells and the kinetic parameters were determined. RESULTS: Compared with CYP2D6.1 (frequency in Chinese 24.65%), CYP2D6.X (1.63%), CYP2D6.Y (1.50%), CYP2D6.Z (0.81%), CYP2D6.10 (52.53%) and CYP2D6.75 (0.13%) exhibited low activity at different degrees, whereas the kinetic parameters of CYP2D6.2 (11.06%) were much the same with CYP2D6.1. The novel allele CYP2D6.75 showed decreased enzyme activity. CONCLUSION: This is the first study to conduct functional analysis of CYP2D6 four novel alleles in Chinese Han population, which might be helpful for optimizing pharmacotherapy and the design of personalized medicine.
