NCIt definition : Human CYP2D6*8 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*8 protein. The CYP2D6*8 allele exhibits a clinically-relevant
SNP (g.1758G T) in exon 3 that generates a stop codon. This alteration yields a truncated
cytochrome P450 2D6*8 protein that is enzymatically inactive.;
