Rapid and ultra-rapid metabolizers with CYP2C19*17 polymorphism do not respond to standard therapy with proton pump inhibitors

Conclusion Our study has demonstrated that 19.7% of our subjects are carriers of the CYP2C19*17 allele who did not respond to the standard dose of proton pump inhibitors. Genetic screening to identify subjects with variant alleles would thus be useful for personalization of therapy with proton pump inhibitors.
