Human CYP2D6*3 allele is located in the vicinity of 22q13.1 and is approximately 4 kb in length. This allele, a variant form of the CYP2D6 wild-type allele, encodes cytochrome P450 2D6*3 protein. The CYP2D6*3 allele exhibits a single nucleotide deletion (g.2549A>del) that results in a frameshift during protein coding. This alteration abolishes the enzymatic activity of the cytochrome P450 2D6*3 protein. [ ]
