Abstract

Abstract: Proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) are widely prescribed to decrease stomach acid and treat various acid-related Gastrointestinal tract (GIT) diseases. However, genetic variations, particularly in the CYP2C19 gene, affect PPIs metabolism and efficacy. Variants in CYP2C19 can result in different rates of PPI metabolism, influencing their effectiveness. Personalized medicine strategies, such as genotyping for CYP2C19, have the potential to enhance the effectiveness of PPI therapy and patient safety. This review aims to describe the relevance of CYP2C19 genetic profiling in the indian population, including normal function (e.g. CYP2C19*1, *11, *13, *15, *18, *28, and 38), decreased function (e.g., CYP2C19*9, *10, *16, *19, *25, and 26), loss of function (e.g., CYP2C19*2, *3, *4, *5, *6, *7, *8, *22, *24, *35, *36, and *37), and increased function (e.g., CYP2C19*17) variants. This review also examines the clinical pharmacogenomics implementation consortium (CPIC)-CYP2C19-PPI guidelines to highlight the importance of pharmacogenomics (PGx)-informed personalized PPI therapy for gastroesophageal reflux disease and peptic ulcer disease treatment. On average, each person in India possesses eight pharmacogenetic (PGx) variants that can be clinically significant, underscoring the need for preemptive testing. Implementing CYP2C19 genetic testing in India requires expanding laboratory capacity, increasing accessibility in primary care, increasing public awareness, collaboration…
