Phenotypic effects of SNPs on drug metabolism

Drug given Prodrug Active drug
Metabolizer level Poor Rapid Poor Rapid
Drug exposure Decreased conversion Increased conversion Decreased inactivation Increased inactivation
Drug activity Decreased efficacy Increased efficacy Increased efficacy Decreased efficacy
Adverse effects Increased if prodrug is toxic Increased if active compound is toxic Increased if drug is toxic Decreased if drug is toxic
Increased if drug is toxic
