ABSTRACT
Pharmacogenomics (PGx), examining the effect of genetic variation on interpatient variation in drug disposition and response, has been widely studied for several decades. However, as cost, as well as turnaround time associated with PGx testing, has significantly improved, the use of PGx in the clinical setting has been gaining momentum. Nevertheless, challenges have emerged in the broader clinical implementation of PGx. In this review, we will outline current models of PGx delivery and methodologies of evaluation, and discuss clinically relevant PGx tests and associated medications. Additionally, we will describe our approach for the broad implementation of pre-emptive DPYD genotyping in patients taking fluoropyrimidines in Ontario, Canada, as an example of clinically actionable PGx testing with sufficient clinical evidence of patient benefit that can become a new standard of patient care. We will highlight challenges associated with PGx testing, including a lack of diversity in PGx studies as well as general limitations that impact the broad adoption of PGx testing. Lastly, we examine the future of PGx, discussing new clinical targets, methodologies and analysis approaches.
