Have you.. Received direct-to-consumer genetic testing? Had pharmacogenomics (PGx) testing? Had a patient with PGx test results? Had a patient who asked you PGx-related questions? Heard of the approximate cost 2 years ago? Now?
Objectives Describe the rationale, basic concepts, and the role of pharmacogenomics (PGx) in variation of response to medications Describe where to find available PGx guidelines and other resources Develop an individualized medication plan for a patient presenting with pharmacogenomic test results Review components-- > print off handouts for diff pgx tests (kailos, gene Dx)
Past President Obama on Personalized Medicine “Tonight, I’m launching a new Precision Medicine Initiative to bring us closer to curing diseases like cancer and diabetes - and to give all of us access to the personalized information we need to keep ourselves and our families healthier.” Past President Obama State of the Union Address Jan 20, 2015

What is pharmacogenomics? Study of genetic variations that influence individual response to drugs Same Condition No Response Desired Response Toxic Side Effects
Three domains of pharmacogenomics effects 1 Hypersensitivity 2 3 Efficacy Toxicity Not universal icons
Metabolizer status & drug exposure Poor metabolizer Intermediate Normal Rapid Ultrarapid Legend Active Drug Prodrug Drug Exposure Drug Exposure
Metabolizer Status may impact drugs differently Active Drug Active Inactive Poor metabolizer = too much drug Metoprolol is metabolized by CYP2D6 then eliminated Prodrug Inactive Active Poor metabolizer = too little drug Tamoxifen is converted to its active metabolite by CYP2D6 M.

Common PGx Panel test report format styles
Stoplight format Red: Major gene-drug interaction Yellow: Moderate gene- drug interaction Green: Minimal or no gene-drug interaction - OR - Major -Drug A Moderate -Drug B & C Minimal / None - Drug D, E & F
Drug-specific format Example PGx Report Drug-specific comments or recommendations Example PGx Report Drug A: Reduce starting dose by 50% and titrate cautiously Drug B: Standard dosing recommended Drug C: Consider alternative therapy due to increased risk of therapeutic failure

PGx Case examples
Case 1: Judy Initial Presentation: Medications: 72 year old female, Japanese ethnicity PMH: Major Depressive Disorder Gout Barrett’s esophagus Citalopram and escitalopram were not effective at max doses. On sertraline 200mg daily x 4 months with only minimal improvement. Due to multiple inefficacies, pharmacogenomics testing ordered Medications: Aspirin, allopurinol (started 3 days ago), sertraline, pantoprazole
Case 1: Drug-Gene Interactions Medication Gene Phenotype Sertraline CYP2C19 Ultrarapid metabolizer Allopurinol HLA-B*58:01 Positive Citalopram Escitalopram Sertraline – intermediate - normal what activity level is this?

CPIC guidelines: SSRIs Phenotype Citalopram & escitalopram recommendation Sertraline recommendation Ultrarapid Consider an alternative drug not metabolized by CYP2C19 Initiate with recommended starting dose. If patient doesn’t respond to recommended maintenance dosing, consider an alternative drug not predominantly metabolized by CYP2C19 Normal or Intermediate Standard dosing recommended Poor metabolizer Consider a 50% reduction of starting dose and titrate to response or select an alternative drug.
