LOINC description : The patient's genotype (e.g. TA5/TA7) for the TA repeat variant within the UGT1A1
gene. Variants include TA5 or *36: c. 41_-40delTA (g.234668893_234668894), TA7 or
*28: c. 41_-40dupTA (g.234668893_234668894), and TA8 or *37: c. 43_-40dupTATA (g.
234668891_234668894). Testing is performed to screen for variants associated with
increased risk of adverse drug reactions when taking UGT1A1-metabolized drugs, including
pazopanib, nilotinib, atazanavir, and belinostat. Patient's homozygosity for the TA7
promoter variant (*28) have reduced UGT1A1 activity (about 30% to 50%) compared to
normal.[PMID: 7565971];
