CYP2B6 Gene Efavirenz Poor Metabolism of Genetic Test
Test Name: CYP2B6 Gene Efavirenz Poor Metabolism of Genetic Test
Components: Blood or Extracted DNA or One drop Blood on FTA Card
Price: 4400.0 AED
Report Delivery: 3 to 4 Weeks
Method: NGS Technology

Pre Test Information: Clinical History of Patient who is going for CYP2B6 Gene Efavirenz, poor metabolism of NGS Genetic DNA Test. A Genetic Counselling session to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with Efavirenz, poor metabolism of.
Test Details:
The CYP2B6 gene is responsible for encoding the cytochrome P450 2B6 enzyme, which plays a crucial role in the metabolism of various drugs, including efavirenz. Efavirenz is an antiretroviral medication commonly used in the treatment of HIV/AIDS.
Some individuals may have genetic variations in the CYP2B6 gene that result in poor metabolism of efavirenz. This can lead to higher drug concentrations in the blood, potentially increasing the risk of adverse effects or toxicity.
To determine an individual’s genetic variation in the CYP2B6 gene, a Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) genetic test can be performed. NGS is a high-throughput sequencing technology that allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes or the entire genome.
NGS genetic testing can identify specific genetic variants in the CYP2B6 gene that are associated with poor metabolism of efavirenz. This information can be used to personalize the dosage of efavirenz or consider alternative treatment options to minimize the risk of adverse effects.
It is important to note that the interpretation of genetic test results should always be done by a qualified healthcare professional who can consider other factors, such as the individual’s overall health and other medications they may be taking.
