CYP2D6 genotype to phenotype standardization project - seeking feedback

The assignment of the CYP2D6 metabolizer phenotype based on a subject's genotype is an important aspect of clinical implementation of pharmacogenetics knowledge. Especially for CYP2D6, the genotype-inferred phenotypes vary across laboratories and guidelines. The goal of the CYP2D6 genotype to phenotype standardization project is to harmonize this translation. 

The following consensus was reached by a group of CYP2D6 excepts through a series of surveys:
1) Activity score of 1 should be assigned as CYP2D6 intermediate metabolizer
2) Downgrading the CYP2D6*10 allele from activity score 0.5 to 0.25

We are seeking feedback on the final CYP2D6 genotype to phenotype table, which summaries all CYP2D6 metabolizers assignment based on activity score.
