Discussion:
Metabolizer phenotype of CYP2D6
I got 0 out of 15 points for my answer on this problem. I'm thinking I should have received some partial credit. I'm posting the original question, my answer, and the "official" answer. I understand that the given answer is a better method, but won't my proposed method work? I'm looking for some expert, detailed, technical advice to help me support my claim for partail credit.
The Problem: Briefly describe the method that you would use to test an individual for metabolizer phenotype of CYP2D6. Be sure to include the name of the test compound, when and which biological fluid(s) to collect, which compound(s) to measure, and how to assess metabolizer phenotype. This description should be no longer than one paragraph, and should fit in the box below. Point will be taken off for overly long descriptions.
