Pharmacokinetic genotyping of CYP2C19 and CYP2D6 has real clinical guidelines behind it. Panels that claim to predict which antidepressant will work do not. Here is how to get an accurate diplotype call from your own sequencing data.

Pharmacogenetic testing predicts how fast you metabolize certain antidepressants. How to call the star alleles yourself, and where the calls fail.

What pharmacogenomic panels like GeneSight measure, what the trial data show, how to read CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 from your own genome, and what serum drug levels can and cannot tell you.
