How to facilitate the wider use of pharmacogenetic tests?

4P medicine (personalized, preventive, predictive, and participatory) is experiencing a remarkable rise, and pharmacogenetics is an essential part of it. However, several obstacles are hindering its deployment. This round table brought together a group of experts to take stock of the situation, reflecting on ways to facilitate the prescription of these tests and the dissemination of the results on a national scale. The experts looked at the methods of prescribing and communicating pharmacogenetic data in the current situation as well as in the coming years, with the arrival of artificial intelligence software. The questions relating to the reimbursement of tests — as topical as ever — were also discussed, as this is a way to allow all patients to access these tests. Numerous recommendations have been formulated on these various points, aimed at facilitating prescription management for healthcare professionals, and ensuring the retention and use of the results throughout the patient's life. Finally, better patient information was recommended, as well as strengthening the involvement of healthcare professionals and industry stakeholders in this process, with insistence on the necessary training and commitment to ensure its success.
