Pharmacogenomic testing in mental health has not yet reached its full potential. An important reason for this involves differentiating individual gene testing (IGT) from a combinatorial pharmacogenomic (CPGx) approach. With IGT, any given gene reveals specific information that may, in turn, pertain to a smaller number of medications. CPGx approaches attempt to encompass more complete genomic information by combining moderate risk alleles and synergistically viewing the results from the perspective of the medication. This manuscript will discuss IGT and CPGx approaches to psychiatric pharmacogenomics and review the clinical validity, clinical utility, and economic parameters of both.
心理健康领域的药物基因组学检测尚未充分发挥其潜力。造成这种情况的一个重要原因涉及区分个体基因检测(IGT)和组合药物基因组学(CPGx)方法。采用IGT时,任何特定基因都会揭示特定信息,这些信息反过来可能只涉及较少数量的药物。CPGx方法试图通过组合中度风险等位基因并从药物角度协同查看结果来涵盖更完整的基因组信息。本文将讨论精神科药物基因组学的IGT和CPGx方法,并综述两者的临床有效性、临床实用性和经济参数。
