Recall that the enzyme CYP2D6 changes codeine to morphine and that the enzyme UGT1A converts morphine to morphine-3-glucuronide. Also recall that morphine accumulation can be dangerous due to toxicity at higher doses. Explain how the dangers faced by a codeine prescribed individual with loss of function variants in the gene encoding CYP2D6 differ from those individuals with loss of function variants in the gene encoding UGT1A
