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 |
