a

Only drugs with a prevalence ≥ 500 per 100,000 patients included. See Supplemental Table 3 for the other CPIC Level A drugs.

b

Actionable phenotype defined as a phenotype that would prompt a prescribing action according to CPIC guidance.

c

Positive is defined as harboring an actionable genetic variant.

d

Carrier is defined as a VKORC1 c-1639G>A heterozygote or homozygote. Abbreviations are as follows: UM=ultrarapid metabolizer, RM=rapid metabolizer, IM=intermediate metabolizer, PM=poor metabolizer, DF=decreased function, PF=poor function
