I think most anyone should have a CYP2D6 test if they are considering taking, or taking, medication, it affects so many drugs out there, yet here in the UK, the GP's I have encountered are not familiar with gene<>drug interactions and I had to request it after working it out myself. It's a complex area, but if you happen to be a poor or ultra metaboliser it's a good thing to know. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK99699/

100% it’s cheap enough that everyone should do it. The TNXB mutation has a ton of weird drug interactions. Anesthesia resistant being just one.
Have you got a reference for that, I did search but could do with some help!
