§

Count from ATG start site.

The reference sequence initially used for defining variants, M33388, differs from the current RefSeq NG_008376.4 at four positions, of which three are insertion/deletions and thus causes variant coordinates to shift among these reference sequences (https://www.pharmvar.org/gene/cyp2d6, last accessed October 6, 2020). Positions on M33388 are referred to as “legacy.”
