• Compare and contrast approaches to clinical laboratory testing in pharmacogenomics.
• Explain practice‐based differences between panel‐based testing as compared with testing individual genes for pharmacogeneticrecommendations.
• List criteria for evaluating commercial pharmacogenetic testing laboratories.
• Identify essential information needed when interpreting commercial laboratory reports in pharmacogenetics.

A. Commercial laboratory – panel‐based testing (test multiple genes at once)
B. Commercial laboratory – one PGx test at a time (e.g., CYP2C19 testing only)
C. In‐house testing (tests are processed by our institution’s pathology lab)

What approach is used for testing?
Reactive• Ordering test as drug therapy is initiated or failed– Delay before results are ready
• May need quick turnaround
Preemptive • Pharmacogenetic result available before prescribing– Available at point of care:
• Results already interpreted • Clinical decision support (CDS) provides relevant genetic results
• Turnaround time of weeks may be ok

The selection of a laboratory to perform pharmacogenetictesting is influenced by several factors
1. Identifying the pharmacogenes and variants relevant to the practice setting
2. Matching clinical workflows with laboratory logistics
3. Understanding how results are reported
4. Considering test cost and reimbursements39
