Pharmacogenomic tests of oncology drugs at Instituto Nacional de Câncer (INCA)
The implementation, current status and future perspectives of the pharmacogenetics/genomics (PGx) testing program developed at Instituto Nacional de Cancer (INCA) are presented. Initial selection of drug-gene pairs for PGx testing was based on clinically-

BackgroundLarge inter-individual variations in drug metabolism pose a challenge in determining 6-mercaptopurine (6MP) doses. As the last product of 6MP metabolism, DNA-thioguanine nucleotide (DNA-TGN) could reflect the efficacy of 6MP, especially in ...

A common missense variant in NUDT15 confers susceptibility to thiopurine-induced leukopenia [PDF]
Thiopurine therapy, commonly used in autoimmune conditions, can be complicated by life-threatening leukopenia. This leukopenia is associated with genetic variation in TPMT (encoding thiopurine S-methyltransferase). Despite a lower frequency of TPMT mutations in Asians, the incidence of thiopurine-induced leukopenia is higher in Asians than in ...

Implementation of NUDT15 Genotyping to Prevent Azathioprine‐Induced Leukopenia for Patients With Autoimmune Disorders in Chinese Population [PDF]
Azathioprine (AZA) is commonly used for many autoimmune disorders; however, the limitation of its clinical use is due to potential toxicities, including severe leukopenia.

The extent of pharmacogenetic (PGx) drug dispensing among Dutch adults receiving medications for cardiovascular disease (CVD) is unknown. Using the University of Groningen IADB.nl pharmacy database, we performed a serial cross‐sectional study (2019–2023) to estimate the annual prevalence of PGx drug dispensing and annual rates of initiation.

Abstract Background Pharmacogenomic‐guided medication management optimises drug therapy to enhance patient outcomes. Despite clinical utility, implementation in Australia remains limited, partly due to the lack of clear and consistent guidance. Aim This study evaluated the presence and consistency of pharmacogenomic testing indication categories and ...

ABSTRACT Background Neurotoxicity is a rare, often dose‐limiting adverse effect of methotrexate (MTX) therapy that disproportionally affects Latino children. Factors contributing to the observed disparity are not well understood. This study leveraged admixture mapping to identify genetic regions associated with MTX‐related neurotoxicity susceptibility ...
