Genetic testing has the potential to revolutionize primary care, but few health systems have developed infrastructure support precision population medicine applications or attempted evaluate its impact on patient and provider outcomes. In 2018, Sanford Health, nation’s largest rural nonprofit care system, began offering genetic patients. To date, more than 11,000 patients participated in Chip Program, over 90% of whom been identified with at least one informative pharmacogenomic variant,...

The convergence of translational genomics and biomedical informatics has changed healthcare delivery. Institutional consortia have begun implementing lab testing decision support for drug–gene interactions. Aggregate datasets are now revealing the impact clinical Given pleiotropic nature pharmacogenes, interdisciplinary teams robust tools must exist within an framework built to be flexible capable cross-talk between specialties. Navigation challenges presented with implementation five steps...

Metoprolol is a medication commonly utilized in select patients to achieve reduction heart rate, systolic blood pressure, or other indications. A majority of metoprolol metabolism occurs via CYP2D6. Decreased expression the CYP2D6 enzyme increases concentration metoprolol. Current pharmacogenomics guidelines by Dutch Pharmacogenomics Working Group recommend slower titrations and dose decreases minimize adverse effects from poor metabolizers normal taking concomitant medications that are...

Genetic variants can impact medication response. The study of genetic on medications is called pharmacogenomics (PGx). Understanding PGx results be difficult as are reported differently than other laboratory tests. Patients have a lack understanding and satisfaction with information. Surveys were emailed to patients seen in the clinic who participated an elective screening (Sanford Chip) at Sanford Health. conducted assess literacy, testing. Survey responses summarized using descriptive...

Abstract Purpose We describe the implementation and ongoing maintenance of CYP2C19 CYP2D6 focused pharmacogenetic (PGx) testing to guide antidepressant antianxiety medication prescriptions in a large rural, nonprofit health system. Summary Depression anxiety are common psychiatric conditions. Sanford Health implemented PGx for metabolism cytochrome P450 (CYP) isozymes 2C19 2D6 2014 inform prescribing multiple medications, including therapies. As guidelines, genotype phenotype translation,...

Background: Statins are commonly used medications. Variants in SLCO1B1, CYP2C9, and ABCG2 known predictors of muscle effects when taking statins. More exploratory genes include RYR1 CACNA1S, which can also be associated with disease conditions. Methods: Patients pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants or CACNA1S were identified through an elective genomic testing program. Through chart review, patients a history statin use assessed for statin-associated symptoms (SAMS) along collection...

Pharmacogenetics promises to optimize treatment-related outcomes by informing optimal drug selection and dosing based on an individual’s genotype in conjunction with other important clinical factors. Despite significant evidence of genetic associations response, pharmacogenetic testing has not been widely implemented into practice. Among the barriers broad implementation are limited guidance for how successfully integrate workflows data The Pharmacogenomics Global Research Network...

Background: Returning pharmacogenomics (PGx) results to patients is complex and challenging. Patients prefer provider education; however, a gap in comfort PGx has been documented. Objectives: This study's purpose was evaluate satisfaction with the return of test using patient portal message. Methods: A survey sent two cohorts results, one that received result message did not. Results: Following implementation message, there decrease reporting negative responses surrounding their 39%...

Background: SLCO1B1 variants are known to be a strong predictor of statin-associated muscle symptoms (SAMS) risk with simvastatin. Methods: The authors conducted retrospective chart review on 20,341 patients who had genotyping quantify the uptake clinical decision support (CDS) for genetic impact SAMS risk. Results: A total 182 417 CDS alerts generated, and 150 these (82.4%) received pharmacotherapy that did not increase risks SAMS. Providers were more likely cancel simvastatin orders in...

Aim: This manuscript describes implementation of clinical decision support for providers concerned with perioperative complications malignant hyperthermia susceptibility. Materials & methods: Clinical susceptibility was implemented in 2018 based around our pre-emptive genotyping platform. We completed a brief descriptive review patients who underwent testing, focused particularly on RYR1 and CACNA1S genes. Results: To date, we have genetic testing more than 10,000 patients; 13 having been...

Introduction: Pharmacogenomics (PGx) aims to maximize drug benefits while minimizing risk of toxicity. Although PGx has proven beneficial in many settings, clinical uptake lags. Lack clinician confidence and limited availability testing can deter patients from completing testing. A few novel clinic models have been described as a way incorporate into the standard care. Background: was implemented fill an identified gap provider availability, confidence, utilization across our health system....
