Evaluation of CYP2C19 Clinical Decision Support Alerts to Guide P2Y12 Inhibitor Prescribing
P2Y12 inhibitor selection involves numerous factors, including CYP2C19 genetics, since evidence demonstrates reduced clopidogrel efficacy in patients with decreased or no function CYP2C19 variants. In 2020, Indiana University health embedded interruptive clinical decision support (CDS) alerts in the electronic health record (EHR) to recommend ...

Effect of VKORC1 haplotypes on transcriptional regulation and warfarin dose.
BACKGROUND The management of warfarin therapy is complicated by a wide variation among patients in drug response. Variants in the gene encoding vitamin K epoxide reductase complex 1 (VKORC1) may affect the response to warfarin.

Older adults (65 years and over) frequently manage complex medication regimens and are vulnerable to adverse drug reactions and treatment inefficacies, some of which could be preventable with pharmacogenetics (PGx)‐guided prescribing. This study examined the prevalence of actionable PGx genotypes (i.e., those linked to a guideline that recommends a ...

Barriers to incorporating pharmacogenetics into routine clinical practice in the United States are well documented. Initial surveys by the Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC) in 2009 and 2010 identified barriers across four key domains that have hindered the widespread adoption of clinical pharmacogenetic testing.
