CYP2D6 17 Allele Definition

Human CYP2D6*17 allele is located in the vicinity of 22q13.1 and is approximately 4 kb in length. This allele, a variant form of the CYP2D6 wild-type allele, encodes cytochrome P450 2D6*17 protein. The CYP2D6*17 allele exhibits two clinically-relevant SNPs (g.1023C>T, g.2850C>T) that result in coding changes (T107I, R296C). These alterations decrease the enzymatic activity of the cytochrome P450 2D6*17 protein.
