Abstract

Aim: Several CYP2D6 Luminex xTAG genotype calls were identified as inconsistent or suspicious among Thai subjects and further characterized to identify the root causes.

Material & methods: Forty-eight subjects were followed-up with long-range-PCR, quantitative copy number assays and/or Sanger sequencing.

Results: Most of the Luminex-duplication calls were either negative or had hybrid structures involving CYP2D6*36 in various configurations. Ten samples were inaccurately called as CYP2D6*2, *29 or *35 alleles. Sequencing revealed three novel haplotypes, CYP2D6*142, *143 and *144 of which two are nonfunctional.

Conclusion: The Luminex platform produced a relatively high number of false genotype calls for Thai subjects. Our findings underscore the need for the systematic characterization of the CYP2D6 locus in diverse populations and rigorous platform validation.
