a CYP2D6*2 is currently considered to be a normal function allele by CPIC and DPWG; however, this function assignment has been challenged32 and some laboratories report CYP2D6*2 function differently. Function of this allele will be reassessed as additional data become available. bN is categorical and indicates the number of copy variants (e.g., *1x2, *1x3, etc).
