The Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC) bases its drug-gene recommendations on the assignment of star alleles, which map known genotypes to defined functional categories and corresponding drug dosage guidelines. The star allele framework, first proposed in 1996 for the CYP gene family and later formalized with CPICs establishment in 2010 [1, 2], remains foundational to pharmacogenomics. However, this system has notable limitations. Its dependence on a restricted set of ben...
