  1. Whole-genome sequences of multiple ethnic groups were obtained from the 1000 Genomes Project (N = 2504). Haplotypes and diplotypes were determined by the CPIC allele-definition tables and molecular phenotypes by the CPIC diplotype-phenotype matching tables.
  2. NM normal metabolizer, IM intermediate metabolizer, PM poor metabolizer, WT wild-type.
