Pharmacogenomics, as the main part of personalized medicine, aims to optimize and create a more targeted treatment approach based on genetic variations in drug response. It is predicted that future treatments will be algorithm-based instead of evidence-based that will consider a patient’s genetic, transcriptomic, proteomic, epigenetic, and lifestyle factors resulting in individualized medication. A generative pretrained transformer (GPT) is an artificial intelligence (AI) tool that generates language resembling human-like writing enabling users to engage in a manner that is practically identical to speaking with a human being. GPT’s predictive algorithms can respond to questions that have never been addressed. Chat Generative Pretrained Transformer (ChatGPT) is an AI chatbot’s advanced with conversational capabilities. In the present study, questions were asked from ChatGPT about the future of personalized medicine and pharmacogenomics.

Pharmacogenetic testing has the potential to reduce ADEs and inefficacy. The objective of this INGENIOUS trial (NCT02297126) analysis was to determine whether conducting and reporting pharmacogenetic panel testing impacts ADE frequency. The trial was a pragmatic, randomized controlled clinical trial, adapted as a propensity matched analysis in individuals (N = 2612) receiving a new prescription for one or more of 26 pharmacogenetic-actionable drugs across a community safety-net and academic health system. The intervention was a pharmacogenetic testing panel for 26 drugs with dosage and selection recommendations returned to the health record. The primary outcome was occurrence of ADEs within 1 year, according to modified Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE). In the propensity-matched analysis, 16.1% of individuals experienced any ADE within 1-year. Serious ADEs (CTCAE level ≥ 3) occurred in 3.2% of individuals. When combining all 26 drugs, no significant difference was observed between the pharmacogenetic testing and control arms for any ADE (Odds ratio 0.96, 95% CI: 0.78–1.18), serious ADEs (OR: 0.91, 95% CI: 0.58–1.40), or mortality (OR: 0.60, 95% CI: 0.28–1.21). However, sub-group analyses revealed a reduction in serious ADEs and death in individuals who underwent pharmacogenotyping for aripiprazole and serotonin or serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (OR 0.34, 95% CI: 0.12–0.85). In conclusion, no change in overall ADEs was observed after pharmacogenetic testing. However, limitations incurred during INGENIOUS likely affected the results. Future studies may consider preemptive, rather than reactive, pharmacogenetic panel testing.","PeriodicalId":54624,"journal":{"name":"Pharmacogenomics Journal","volume":"23 6","pages":"169-177"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2023-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41397-023-00315-w.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10561330","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Identification of genetic variants predicting drug efficacy, tolerability and risk of adverse-effects for anti-seizure medications (ASMs) is essential. Here, we assessed the clinical actionability of known genetic variants, based on their functional and clinical significance and estimated their diagnostic predictability. We performed a systematic PubMed search to identify articles with pharmacogenomic (PGx) information for forty known ASMs. Functional annotation of the identified genetic variants was performed using different in silico tools, and their clinical significance was assessed using the American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG) guidelines for variant pathogenicity, level of evidence (LOE) from PharmGKB and the United States-Food and drug administration (US- FDA) drug labelling with PGx information. Diagnostic predictability of the replicated genetic variants was evaluated by calculating their accuracy. A total of 270 articles were retrieved with PGx evidence associated with 19 ASMs including 178 variants across 93 genes, classifying 26 genetic variants as benign/ likely benign, fourteen as drug response markers and three as risk factors for drug response. Only seventeen of these were replicated, with accuracy (up to 95%) in predicting PGx outcomes specific to six ASMs. Eight out of seventeen variants have FDA-approved PGx drug labelling for clinical implementation. Therefore, the remaining nine variants promise for potential clinical actionability and can be improvised with additional experimental evidence for clinical utility.","PeriodicalId":54624,"journal":{"name":"Pharmacogenomics Journal","volume":"23 6","pages":"149-160"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2023-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10078557","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The SLCO1B1 gene encodes a transport protein responsible for statin clearance. The aim of this study was to investigate a possible association between the SLCO1B1*5 reduced function variant and cataract risk in statin users of South Asian ethnicity. The Genes & Health cohort consists of British-Bangladeshi and British-Pakistani participants from East London, Manchester and Bradford, UK. SLCO1B1*5 genotype was assessed with the Illumina GSAMD-24v3-0-EA chip. Medication data from primary care health record linkage was used to compare those who had regularly used statins compared to those who had not. Multivariable logistic regression was used to test for association between statin use and cataracts, adjusting for population characteristics and potential confounders in 36,513 participants. Multivariable logistic regression was used to test association between SLCO1B1*5 heterozygotes or homozygotes and cataracts, in subgroups having been regularly prescribed statins versus not. Statins were prescribed to 35% (12,704) of participants (average age 41 years old, 45% male). Non-senile cataract was diagnosed in 5% (1686) of participants. An apparent association between statins and non-senile cataract (12% in statin users and 0.8% in non-statin users) was negated by inclusion of confounders. In those prescribed a statin, presence of the SLCO1B1*5 genotype was independently associated with a decreased risk of non-senile cataract (OR 0.7 (CI 0.5–0.9, p 0.007)). Our findings suggest that there is no independent association between statin use and non-senile cataract risk after adjusting for confounders. Among statin users, the SLCO1B1*5 genotype is associated with a 30% risk reduction of non-senile cataracts. Stratification of on-drug cohorts by validated pharmacogenomic variants is a useful tool to support or repudiate adverse drug events in observational cohorts.","PeriodicalId":54624,"journal":{"name":"Pharmacogenomics Journal","volume":"23 5","pages":"134-139"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2023-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10506906/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10663144","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
