Utilisation of drugs with pharmacogenetic recommendations in children in Switzerland.
Pharmacogenetics (PGx) is increasingly implemented in the adult population, but its potential in children remains uncertain. The aim of this study was to investigate PGx drug utilization in children in Switzerland, using Helsana claims data between 2017 and 2021. We identified 82 drugs with paediatric guideline annotations associated with variants in 24 genes from the Pharmacogenomics Knowledgebase. Of 159 172 children continuously insured, 66.1% claimed at least one PGx drug during the study period. The three PGx drugs with the highest user numbers were systemically administered ibuprofen (59.1%), ondansetron (8.3%), and locally administered fluorouracil (7.5%). Over 96% of all potential drug-gene interactions were caused by seven genes (CYP2C9, CYP2D6, DPYD, CYP2C19, MT-RNR1, CACNA1S, and RYR1). The high number of children claiming PGx drugs in Switzerland implies that a significant number of children could benefit from PGx testing.
期刊介绍：
The Pharmacogenomics Journal is a print and electronic journal, which is dedicated to the rapid publication of original research on pharmacogenomics and its clinical applications.
Key areas of coverage include:
Personalized medicine
Effects of genetic variability on drug toxicity and efficacy
Identification and functional characterization of polymorphisms relevant to drug action
Pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic variations and drug efficacy
Integration of new developments in the genome project and proteomics into clinical medicine, pharmacology, and therapeutics
Clinical applications of genomic science
Identification of novel genomic targets for drug development
Potential benefits of pharmacogenomics.
