Assignment of likely TPMT and NUDT15 phenotypes based on genotypes

Assignment of likely TPMT phenotypes based on genotypes
Likely Phenotype Genotypes Examples of diplotypes
Normal metabolizer an individual carrying normal function alleles *1/*1
Intermediate metabolizer an individual carrying one normal function allele PLUS one no function allele *1/*2, *1/*3A, *1/*3B, *1/*3C, *1/*4
Possible Intermediate metabolizer an individual carrying one uncertain/unknown function allele PLUS one no function allele *2/*8, *3A/*7
Poor metabolizer an individual carrying two no function alleles *3A/*3A, *2/*3A, *3A/*3C, *3C/*4, *2/*3C, *3A/*4
Indeterminate An individual carrying two uncertain/unknown function alleles
OR
one normal function allele plus one uncertain allele function allele
