Heart Transplant Recipient Genotyping Panel

CPT Code(s):  81226 (CYP2D6), 81230 (CYP3A4), 81231 (CYP3A5)

Service Code (IU Health): 8618406557

Ordering Recommendation: Information about genotype may be used as an aid to clinicians in determining therapeutic strategy for individuals undergoing heart transplantation.

Synonyms: CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP3A4, CYP3A5, heart transplant, voriconazole, tacrolimus, pain, opioids

Methodology: Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and hydrolysis probe analysis

Performed: Weekly

Reported: 7-10 days

Specimen Requirements

Patient Preparation: Whole blood: none required; Saliva: no eating, drinking, smoking or chewing gum 30 minutes prior to collection 

Collect: Preferred: Lavender (EDTA); Acceptable: Yellow (ACD Solution A or B), Green (Heparin), Saliva (Oragene collection device)

Specimen Volume: Blood: 3 mL whole blood (minimum 1 mL); Saliva: 2 mL

Storage/Transport: Refrigerated/Room temperature

Unacceptable Conditions: Grossly hemolyzed or clotted

Stability: One month refrigerated; One month frozen

Reference Interval: by report

Interpretive Data

Characteristics: Patients undergoing kidney, heart, lung, or hematopoietic stem cell transplant are often prescribed tacrolimus. Blood concentrations of tacrolimus are strongly influenced by CYP3A5 genotype, with substantial evidence linking CYP3A5 genotype with phenotypic variability. Individuals with a normal or intermediate metabolizer phenotype will generally require an increased dose of tacrolimus to achieve therapeutic drug concentrations.

Inheritance: Autosomal recessive

Cause: CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP3A4, and CYP3A5 allelic variants

Penetrance: Drug dependent

Clinical sensitivity: Unknown

Analytical sensitivity and specificity: 99%

Limitations: Only the targeted variants will be detected. Mutations or variants in other genes will not be detected. Although rare, false positive or false negative results may occur. All results should be interpreted in the context of clinical findings, relevant history, and other laboratory data.
