Implementation of pharmacogenomics testing for precision medicine

Crit Rev Clin Lab Sci. 2024 Mar;61(2):89-106. doi: 10.1080/10408363.2023.2255279. Epub 2023 Sep 30.

Abstract

Great strides have been made in the past decade to lower barriers to clinical pharmacogenomics implementation. Nevertheless, PGx consultation prior to prescribing therapeutics is not yet mainstream. This review addresses the current climate surrounding PGx implementation, focusing primarily on strategies for implementation at academic institutions, particularly at The University of Chicago, and provides an up-to-date guide of resources supporting the development of PGx programs. Remaining challenges and recent strategies for overcoming these challenges to implementation are discussed.

Keywords: Pharmacogenomics; clinical guideline; implementation; precision medicine.
