Six modern PGx assays were compared with the Pharmacogenomics Knowledge Base (PharmGKB) to determine the proportion of the currently known PGx genotypes that are assessed by these assays.
MATERIALS & METHODS: Investigated assays were 'Ion AmpliSeq Pharmacogenomics', 'iPLEX PGx Pro', 'DMET Plus,' 'PharmcoScan,' 'Living DNA' and '23andMe.'
PharmGKB contains 3474 clinical annotations of which 75, 70 and 45% can be determined by PharmacoScan, Living DNA and 23andMe, respectively. The other assays are designed to test a specific subset of PGx variants.
Assaying all known PGx variants would only comprise a minor fraction of the current assays' capacity. Unfortunately, this is not achieved. Moreover, not necessarily the variants with the highest effects or the highest evidence are selected.
将 6 种现代 PGx 检测方法与 Pharmacogenomics Knowledge Base (PharmGKB) 进行比较,以确定这些检测方法可评估目前已知的 PGx 基因型的比例。
研究的检测方法包括“Ion AmpliSeq Pharmacogenomics”、“iPLEX PGx Pro”、“DMET Plus”、“PharmcoScan”、“Living DNA”和“23andMe”。
PharmGKB 包含 3474 个临床注释,其中 75%、70%和 45%可分别由 PharmacoScan、Living DNA 和 23andMe 确定。其他检测方法旨在检测特定的 PGx 变体子集。
检测所有已知的 PGx 变体仅占当前检测方法能力的一小部分。不幸的是,这并未实现。此外,选择的不一定是具有最高效果或最高证据的变体。
