de Brabander E, Kleine Schaars K, van Amelsvoort T, van Westrhenen R. Influence of CYP2C19 and CYP2D6 on side effects of aripiprazole and risperidone: A systematic review. J Psychiatr Res 2024; 174:137-152. [PMID: 38631139 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpsychires.2024.04.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2023] [Revised: 03/25/2024] [Accepted: 04/01/2024] [Indexed: 04/19/2024]
Abstract
Variability in hepatic cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes such as 2C19 and 2D6 may influence side-effect and efficacy outcomes for antipsychotics. Aripiprazole and risperidone are two commonly prescribed antipsychotics, metabolized primarily through CYP2D6. Here, we aimed to provide an overview of the effect of CYP2C19 and CYP2D6 on side-effects of aripiprazole and risperidone, and expand on existing literature by critically examining methodological issues associated with pharmacogenetic studies. A PRISMA compliant search of six electronic databases (Pubmed, PsychInfo, Embase, Central, Web of Science, and Google Scholar) identified pharmacogenetic studies on aripiprazole and risperidone. 2007 publications were first identified, of which 34 were included. Quality of literature was estimated using Newcastle-Ottowa Quality Assessment Scale (NOS) and revised Cochrane Risk of Bias tool. The average NOS score was 5.8 (range: 3-8) for risperidone literature and 5 for aripiprazole (range: 4-6). All RCTs on aripiprazole were rated as high risk of bias, and four out of six for risperidone literature. Study populations ranged from healthy volunteers to inpatient individuals in psychiatric units and included adult and pediatric samples. All n = 34 studies examined CYP2D6. Only one study genotyped for CYP2C19 and found a positive association with neurological side-effects of risperidone. Most studies did not report any relationship between CYP2D6 and any side-effect outcome. Heterogeneity between and within studies limited the ability to synthesize data and draw definitive conclusions. Studies lacked statistical power due to small sample size, selective genotyping methods, and study design. Large-scale randomized trials with multiple measurements, providing robust evidence on this topic, are suggested.

Pharmacogenomic insights in psychiatric care: uncovering novel actionability, allele-specific CYP2D6 copy number variation, and phenoconversion in 15,000 patients. Mol Psychiatry 2024:10.1038/s41380-024-02588-4. [PMID: 38783055 DOI: 10.1038/s41380-024-02588-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2023] [Revised: 04/19/2024] [Accepted: 04/30/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024]
Abstract
Pharmacogenomic testing has emerged as an aid in clinical decision making for psychiatric providers, but more data is needed regarding its utility in clinical practice and potential impact on patient care. In this cross-sectional study, we determined the real-world prevalence of pharmacogenomic actionability in patients receiving psychiatric care. Potential actionability was based on the prevalence of CYP2C19 and CYP2D6 phenotypes, including CYP2D6 allele-specific copy number variations (CNVs). Combined actionability additionally incorporated CYP2D6 phenoconversion and the novel CYP2C-TG haplotype in patients with available medication data. Across 15,000 patients receiving clinical pharmacogenomic testing, 65% had potentially actionable CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 phenotypes, and phenotype assignment was impacted by CYP2D6 allele-specific CNVs in 2% of all patients. Of 4114 patients with medication data, 42% had CYP2D6 phenoconversion from drug interactions and 20% carried a novel CYP2C haplotype potentially altering actionability. A total of 87% had some form of potential actionability from genetic findings and/or phenoconversion. Genetic variation detected via next-generation sequencing led to phenotype reassignment in 22% of individuals overall (2% in CYP2D6 and 20% in CYP2C19). Ultimately, pharmacogenomic testing using next-generation sequencing identified potential actionability in most patients receiving psychiatric care. Early pharmacogenomic testing may provide actionable insights to aid clinicians in drug prescribing to optimize psychiatric care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The advancement of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies provides opportunities for large-scale Pharmacogenetic (PGx) studies and pre-emptive PGx testing to cover a wide range of genotypes present in diverse populations. However, NGS-based PGx testing is limited by the lack of comprehensive computational tools to support genetic data analysis and clinical decisions. METHODS Bioinformatics utilities specialized for human genomics and the latest cloud-based technologies were used to develop a bioinformatics pipeline for analyzing the genomic sequence data and reporting PGx genotypes. A database was created and integrated in the pipeline for filtering the actionable PGx variants and clinical interpretations. Strict quality verification procedures were conducted on variant calls with the whole genome sequencing (WGS) dataset of the 1000 Genomes Project (G1K). The accuracy of PGx allele identification was validated using the WGS dataset of the Pharmacogenetics Reference Materials from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). RESULTS The newly created bioinformatics pipeline, Pgxtools, can analyze genomic sequence data, identify actionable variants in 13 PGx relevant genes, and generate reports annotated with specific interpretations and recommendations based on clinical practice guidelines. Verified with two independent methods, we have found that Pgxtools consistently identifies variants more accurately than the results in the G1K dataset on GRCh37 and GRCh38. CONCLUSIONS Pgxtools provides an integrated workflow for large-scale genomic data analysis and PGx clinical decision support. Implemented with cloud-native technologies, it is highly portable in a wide variety of environments from a single laptop to High-Performance Computing (HPC) clusters and cloud platforms for different production scales and requirements.

Abstract
Background: Microarrays are a well-established and widely adopted technology capable of interrogating hundreds of thousands of loci across the human genome. Combined with imputation to cover common variants not included in the chip design, they offer a cost-effective solution for large-scale genetic studies. Beyond research applications, this technology can be applied for testing pharmacogenomics, nutrigenetics, and complex disease risk prediction. However, establishing clinical reporting workflows requires a thorough evaluation of the assay's performance, which is achieved through validation studies. In this study, we performed pre-clinical validation of a genetic testing workflow based on the Illumina Global Screening Array for 25 pharmacogenomic-related genes. Methods: To evaluate the accuracy of our workflow, we conducted multiple pre-clinical validation studies. Here, we present the results of accuracy and precision assessments, involving a total of 73 cell lines. These assessments encompass reference materials from the Genome-In-A-Bottle (GIAB), the Genetic Testing Reference Material Coordination Program (GeT-RM) projects, as well as additional samples from the 1000 Genomes project (1KGP). We conducted an accuracy assessment of genotype calls for target loci in each indication against established truth sets. Results: In our per-sample analysis, we observed a mean analytical sensitivity of 99.39% and specificity 99.98%. We further assessed the accuracy of star-allele calls by relying on established diplotypes in the GeT-RM catalogue or calls made based on 1KGP genotyping. On average, we detected a diplotype concordance rate of 96.47% across 14 pharmacogenomic-related genes with star allele-calls. Lastly, we evaluated the reproducibility of our findings across replicates and observed 99.48% diplotype and 100% phenotype inter-run concordance. Conclusion: Our comprehensive validation study demonstrates the robustness and reliability of the developed workflow, supporting its readiness for further development for applied testing.

Abstract
Accurate genotyping of Killer cell Immunoglobulin-like Receptor (KIR) genes plays a pivotal role in enhancing our understanding of innate immune responses, disease correlations, and the advancement of personalized medicine. However, due to the high variability of the KIR region and high level of sequence similarity among different KIR genes, the currently available genotyping methods are unable to accurately infer copy numbers, genotypes and haplotypes of individual KIR genes from next-generation sequencing data. Here we introduce Geny, a new computational tool for precise genotyping of KIR genes. Geny utilizes available KIR haplotype databases and proposes a novel combination of expectation-maximization filtering schemes and integer linear programming-based combinatorial optimization models to resolve ambiguous reads, provide accurate copy number estimation and estimate the haplotype of each copy for the genes within the KIR region. We evaluated Geny on a large set of simulated short-read datasets covering the known validated KIR region assemblies and a set of Illumina short-read samples sequenced from 25 validated samples from the Human Pangenome Reference Consortium collection and showed that it outperforms the existing genotyping tools in terms of accuracy, precision and recall. We envision Geny becoming a valuable resource for understanding immune system response and consequently advancing the field of patient-centric medicine.

Abstract
Methadone and buprenorphine/naloxone are opioid agonist therapies for opioid use disorder treatment. Genetic factors contribute to individual differences in opioid response; however, little is known regarding genetic associations with clinical outcomes in people receiving opioid agonist therapies. Participants diagnosed with opioid use disorder, principally consisting of prescription opioids (licit or illicit), were randomized to methadone or buprenorphine/naloxone for 24 weeks of daily treatment (NCT03033732). Urine was collected at 12 biweekly study visits and analyzed for non-treatment opioids. Variants in genes involved in methadone metabolism (CYP2B6, CYP2C19, and CYP3A4), buprenorphine metabolism (CYP3A4 and UGT2B7), and μ-opioid receptor function (OPRM1) were genotyped and analyzed for their association with the number of non-treatment opioid-free urine screens. Primary analyses focused on the last 12 weeks (6 study visits, post-titration) of treatment among those reporting White ethnicity. Additional sensitivity and exploratory analyses were performed. Among methadone-treated participants (n = 52), the OPRM1 rs1799971 AA genotype (vs. G-genotypes, i.e., having one or two G alleles) was associated with greater opioid-free urine screens (incidence rate ratio = 5.24, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 2.43-11.26, P = 0.000023); longitudinal analyses showed a significant genotype-by-time interaction over the full 24 weeks (12 study visits, β = -0.28, 95% CI = -0.45 to -0.11, P = 0.0015). Exploratory analyses suggest an OPRM1 rs1799971 genotype effect on retention. No evidence of association was found between other genetic variants, including in metabolic variants, and non-treatment opioid-free urine screens in the methadone or buprenorphine/naloxone arms. Those with the OPRM1 rs1799971 G-genotypes may have a poorer response to methadone maintenance treatment, an effect that persisted through 24 weeks of treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pharmacogenetics or pharmacogenomics (PGx) is the study of the role of inherited or acquired sequence change in drug response. With the rapid evolution of molecular techniques, bioinformatic tools, and increased throughput of functional genomic studies, the discovery of PGx associations and clinical implementation of PGx test results have now moved beyond a handful variants in single pharmacogenes and multi-gene panels that interrogate a few pharmacogenes to whole-exome and whole-genome scales. Although some laboratories have adopted next-generation sequencing (NGS) as a testing platform for PGx and other molecular tests, most clinical laboratories that offer PGx tests still use targeted genotyping approaches. CONTENT This article discusses primarily the technical considerations for clinical laboratories to develop NGS-based PGx tests including whole-genome and whole-exome sequencing analyses and highlights the challenges and opportunities in test design, content selection, bioinformatic pipeline for PGx allele and diplotype assignment, rare variant classification, reporting, and briefly touches a few additional areas that are important for successful clinical implementation of PGx results. SUMMARY The accelerated speed of technology development associated with continuous cost reduction and enhanced ability to interrogate complex genome regions makes it inevitable for most, if not all, clinical laboratories to transition PGx testing to an NGS-based platform in the near future. It is important for laboratories and relevant professional societies to recognize both the potential and limitations of NGS-based PGx profiling, and to work together to develop a standard and consistent practice to maximize the variant or allele detection rate and utility of PGx testing.

Abstract
Pharmacogenomics (PGx) studies the impact of interindividual genomic variation on drug response, allowing the opportunity to tailor the dosing regimen for each patient. Current targeted PGx testing platforms are mainly based on microarray, polymerase chain reaction, or short-read sequencing. Despite demonstrating great value for the identification of single nucleotide variants (SNVs) and insertion/deletions (INDELs), these assays do not permit identification of large structural variants, nor do they allow unambiguous haplotype phasing for star-allele assignment. Here, we used Oxford Nanopore Technologies' adaptive sampling to enrich a panel of 1,036 genes with well-documented PGx relevance extracted from the Pharmacogenomics Knowledge Base (PharmGKB). By evaluating concordance with existing truth sets, we demonstrate accurate variant and star-allele calling for five Genome in a Bottle reference samples. We show that up to three samples can be multiplexed on one PromethION flow cell without a significant drop in variant calling performance, resulting in 99.35% and 99.84% recall and precision for the targeted variants, respectively. This work advances the use of nanopore sequencing in clinical PGx settings.

Abstract
Pharmacogenomics (PGx) is an integral part of precision medicine and contributes to the maximization of drug efficacy and reduction of adverse drug event risk. Accurate information on PGx allele frequencies improves the implementation of PGx. Nonetheless, curating such information from published allele data is time and resource intensive. The limited number of allelic variants in most studies leads to an underestimation of certain alleles. We applied the Pharmacogenomics Clinical Annotation Tool (PharmCAT) on an integrated 200K UK Biobank genetic dataset (N = 200,044). Based on PharmCAT results, we estimated PGx frequencies (alleles, diplotypes, phenotypes, and activity scores) for 17 pharmacogenes in five biogeographic groups: European, Central/South Asian, East Asian, Afro-Caribbean, and Sub-Saharan African. PGx frequencies were distinct for each biogeographic group. Even biogeographic groups with similar proportions of phenotypes were driven by different sets of dominant PGx alleles. PharmCAT also identified "no-function" alleles that were rare or seldom tested in certain groups by previous studies, e.g., SLCO1B1∗31 in the Afro-Caribbean (3.0%) and Sub-Saharan African (3.9%) groups. Estimated PGx frequencies are disseminated via the PharmGKB (The Pharmacogenomics Knowledgebase: www.pharmgkb.org). We demonstrate that genetic biobanks such as the UK Biobank are a robust resource for estimating PGx frequencies. Improving our understanding of PGx allele and phenotype frequencies provides guidance for future PGx studies and clinical genetic test panel design, and better serves individuals from wider biogeographic backgrounds.

Abstract
The rapid development of sequencing technologies during the past 20 years has provided a variety of methods and tools to interrogate human genomic variations at the population level. Pharmacogenes are well known to be highly polymorphic and a plethora of pharmacogenomic variants has been identified in population sequencing data. However, so far only a small number of these variants have been functionally characterized regarding their impact on drug efficacy and toxicity and the significance of the vast majority remains unknown. It is therefore of high importance to develop tools and frameworks to accurately infer the effects of pharmacogenomic variants and, eventually, aggregate the effect of individual variations into personalized drug response predictions. To address this challenge, we here first describe the technological advances, including sequencing methods and accompanying bioinformatic processing pipelines that have enabled reliable variant identification. Subsequently, we highlight advances in computational algorithms for pharmacogenomic variant interpretation and discuss the added value of emerging strategies, such as machine learning and the integrative use of omics techniques that have the potential to further contribute to the refinement of personalized pharmacological response predictions. Lastly, we provide an overview of experimental and clinical approaches to validate in silico predictions. We conclude that the iterative feedback between computational predictions and experimental validations is likely to rapidly improve the accuracy of pharmacogenomic prediction models, which might soon allow for an incorporation of the entire pharmacogenetic profile into personalized response predictions.

Abstract
The goals of the Association for Molecular Pathology Clinical Practice Committee's Pharmacogenomics (PGx) Working Group are to define the key attributes of pharmacogenetic alleles recommended for clinical testing and a minimum set of variants that should be included in clinical PGx genotyping assays. This document series provides recommendations for a minimum panel of variant alleles (tier 1) and an extended panel of variant alleles (tier 2) that will aid clinical laboratories when designing assays for PGx testing. The Association for Molecular Pathology PGx Working Group considered functional impact of the variant alleles, allele frequencies in multiethnic populations, the availability of reference materials, and other technical considerations for PGx testing when developing these recommendations. The goal of this Working Group is to promote standardization of PGx gene/allele testing across clinical laboratories. This document will focus on clinical CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 PGx testing that may be applied to all CYP3A4- and CYP3A5-related medications. These recommendations are not to be interpreted as prescriptive but to provide a reference guide.

Abstract
Pharmacogenetic testing for CYP3A4 is increasingly provided by clinical and research laboratories; however, only a limited number of quality control and reference materials are currently available for many of the CYP3A4 variants included in clinical tests. To address this need, the Division of Laboratory Systems, CDC-based Genetic Testing Reference Material Coordination Program (GeT-RM), in collaboration with members of the pharmacogenetic testing and research communities and the Coriell Institute for Medical Research, has characterized 30 DNA samples derived from Coriell cell lines for CYP3A4. Samples were distributed to five volunteer laboratories for genotyping using a variety of commercially available and laboratory-developed tests. Sanger and next-generation sequencing were also utilized by some of the laboratories. Whole-genome sequencing data from the 1000 Genomes Projects were utilized to inform genotype. Twenty CYP3A4 alleles were identified in the 30 samples characterized for CYP3A4: CYP3A4∗4, ∗5, ∗6, ∗7, ∗8, ∗9, ∗10, ∗11, ∗12, ∗15, ∗16, ∗18, ∗19, ∗20, ∗21, ∗22, ∗23, ∗24, ∗35, and a novel allele, CYP3A4∗38. Nineteen additional samples with preexisting data for CYP3A4 or CYP3A5 were re-analyzed to generate comprehensive reference material panels for these genes. These publicly available and well-characterized materials can be used to support the quality assurance and quality control programs of clinical laboratories performing clinical pharmacogenetic testing.

Computational pharmacogenotype extraction from clinical next-generation sequencing. Front Oncol 2023; 13:1199741. [PMID: 37469403 PMCID: PMC10352904 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2023.1199741] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2023] [Accepted: 05/22/2023] [Indexed: 07/21/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Next-generation sequencing (NGS), including whole genome sequencing (WGS) and whole exome sequencing (WES), is increasingly being used for clinic care. While NGS data have the potential to be repurposed to support clinical pharmacogenomics (PGx), current computational approaches have not been widely validated using clinical data. In this study, we assessed the accuracy of the Aldy computational method to extract PGx genotypes from WGS and WES data for 14 and 13 major pharmacogenes, respectively. Methods Germline DNA was isolated from whole blood samples collected for 264 patients seen at our institutional molecular solid tumor board. DNA was used for panel-based genotyping within our institutional Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments- (CLIA-) certified PGx laboratory. DNA was also sent to other CLIA-certified commercial laboratories for clinical WGS or WES. Aldy v3.3 and v4.4 were used to extract PGx genotypes from these NGS data, and results were compared to the panel-based genotyping reference standard that contained 45 star allele-defining variants within CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP3A4, CYP3A5, CYP4F2, DPYD, G6PD, NUDT15, SLCO1B1, TPMT, and VKORC1. Results Mean WGS read depth was >30x for all variant regions except for G6PD (average read depth was 29 reads), and mean WES read depth was >30x for all variant regions. For 94 patients with WGS, Aldy v3.3 diplotype calls were concordant with those from the genotyping reference standard in 99.5% of cases when excluding diplotypes with additional major star alleles not tested by targeted genotyping, ambiguous phasing, and CYP2D6 hybrid alleles. Aldy v3.3 identified 15 additional clinically actionable star alleles not covered by genotyping within CYP2B6, CYP2C19, DPYD, SLCO1B1, and NUDT15. Within the WGS cohort, Aldy v4.4 diplotype calls were concordant with those from genotyping in 99.7% of cases. When excluding patients with CYP2D6 copy number variation, all Aldy v4.4 diplotype calls except for one CYP3A4 diplotype call were concordant with genotyping for 161 patients in the WES cohort. Conclusion Aldy v3.3 and v4.4 called diplotypes for major pharmacogenes from clinical WES and WGS data with >99% accuracy. These findings support the use of Aldy to repurpose clinical NGS data to inform clinical PGx.

Characterization of complex structural variation in the CYP2D6-CYP2D7-CYP2D8 gene loci using single-molecule long-read sequencing. Front Pharmacol 2023; 14:1195778. [PMID: 37426826 PMCID: PMC10324673 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2023.1195778] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2023] [Accepted: 05/30/2023] [Indexed: 07/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Complex regions in the human genome such as repeat motifs, pseudogenes and structural (SVs) and copy number variations (CNVs) present ongoing challenges to accurate genetic analysis, particularly for short-read Next-Generation-Sequencing (NGS) technologies. One such region is the highly polymorphic CYP2D loci, containing CYP2D6, a clinically relevant pharmacogene contributing to the metabolism of >20% of common drugs, and two highly similar pseudogenes, CYP2D7 and CYP2D8. Multiple complex SVs, including CYP2D6/CYP2D7-derived hybrid genes are known to occur in different configurations and frequencies across populations and are difficult to detect and characterize accurately. This can lead to incorrect enzyme activity assignment and impact drug dosing recommendations, often disproportionally affecting underrepresented populations. To improve CYP2D6 genotyping accuracy, we developed a PCR-free CRISPR-Cas9 based enrichment method for targeted long-read sequencing that fully characterizes the entire CYP2D6-CYP2D7-CYP2D8 loci. Clinically relevant sample types, including blood, saliva, and liver tissue were sequenced, generating high coverage sets of continuous single molecule reads spanning the entire targeted region of up to 52 kb, regardless of SV present (n = 9). This allowed for fully phased dissection of the entire loci structure, including breakpoints, to accurately resolve complex CYP2D6 diplotypes with a single assay. Additionally, we identified three novel CYP2D6 suballeles, and fully characterized 17 CYP2D7 and 18 CYP2D8 unique haplotypes. This method for CYP2D6 genotyping has the potential to significantly improve accurate clinical phenotyping to inform drug therapy and can be adapted to overcome testing limitations of other clinically challenging genomic regions.

Abstract
Pharmacogenomics (PGx) investigates the genetic influence on drug response and is an integral part of precision medicine. While PGx testing is becoming more common in clinical practice and may be reimbursed by Medicare/Medicaid and commercial insurance, interpreting PGx testing results for clinical decision support is still a challenge. The Pharmacogenomics Clinical Annotation Tool (PharmCAT) has been designed to tackle the need for transparent, automatic interpretations of patient genetic data. PharmCAT incorporates a patient's genotypes, annotates PGx information (allele, genotype, and phenotype), and generates a report with PGx guideline recommendations from the Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC) and/or the Dutch Pharmacogenetics Working Group (DPWG). PharmCAT has introduced new features in the last 2 years, including a variant call format (VCF) Preprocessor, the inclusion of DPWG guidelines, and functionalities for PGx research. For example, researchers can use the VCF Preprocessor to prepare biobank-scale data for PharmCAT. In addition, PharmCAT enables the assessment of novel partial and combination alleles that are composed of known PGx variants and can call CYP2D6 genotypes based on single and deletions in the input VCF file. This tutorial provides materials and detailed step-by-step instructions for how to use PharmCAT in a versatile way that can be tailored to users' individual needs.

Abstract
The Pharmacogene Variation Consortium (PharmVar) is now providing star (*) allele nomenclature for the highly polymorphic human SLCO1B1 gene encoding the organic anion transporting polypeptide 1B1 (OATP1B1) drug transporter. Genetic variation within the SLCO1B1 gene locus impacts drug transport, which can lead to altered pharmacokinetic profiles of several commonly prescribed drugs. Variable OATP1B1 function is of particular importance regarding hepatic uptake of statins and the risk of statin-associated musculoskeletal symptoms. To introduce this important drug transporter gene into the PharmVar database and serve as a unified reference of haplotype variation moving forward, an international group of gene experts has performed an extensive review of all published SLCO1B1 star alleles. Previously published star alleles were self-assigned by authors and only loosely followed the star nomenclature system that was first developed for cytochrome P450 genes. This nomenclature system has been standardized by PharmVar and is now applied to other important pharmacogenes such as SLCO1B1. In addition, data from the 1000 Genomes Project and investigator-submitted data were utilized to confirm existing haplotypes, fill knowledge gaps, and/or define novel star alleles. The PharmVar-developed SLCO1B1 nomenclature has been incorporated by the Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC) 2022 guideline on statin-associated musculoskeletal symptoms.

Abstract
Introduction: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies have been widely used in clinical genomic testing for drug response phenotypes. However, the inherent limitations of short reads make accurate inference of diplotypes still challenging, which may reduce the effectiveness of genotype-guided drug therapy. Methods: An automated Pharmacogenomics Annotation tool (PAnno) was implemented, which reports prescribing recommendations and phenotypes by parsing the germline variant call format (VCF) file from NGS and the population to which the individual belongs. Results: A ranking model dedicated to inferring diplotypes, developed based on the allele (haplotype) definition and population allele frequency, was introduced in PAnno. The predictive performance was validated in comparison with four similar tools using the consensus diplotype data of the Genetic Testing Reference Materials Coordination Program (GeT-RM) as ground truth. An annotation method was proposed to summarize prescribing recommendations and classify drugs into avoid use, use with caution, and routine use, following the recommendations of the Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC), etc. It further predicts phenotypes of specific drugs in terms of toxicity, dosage, efficacy, and metabolism by integrating the high-confidence clinical annotations in the Pharmacogenomics Knowledgebase (PharmGKB). PAnno is available at https://github.com/PreMedKB/PAnno. Discussion: PAnno provides an end-to-end clinical pharmacogenomics decision support solution by resolving, annotating, and reporting germline variants.

Abstract
As the diversity of genomic variation data increases with our growing understanding of the role of variation in health and disease, it is critical to develop standards for precise inter-system exchange of these data for research and clinical applications. The Global Alliance for Genomics and Health (GA4GH) Variation Representation Specification (VRS) meets this need through a technical terminology and information model for disambiguating and concisely representing variation concepts. Here we discuss the recent Genotype model in VRS, which may be used to represent the allelic composition of a genetic locus. We demonstrate the use of the Genotype model and the constituent Haplotype model for the precise and interoperable representation of pharmacogenomic diplotypes, HGVS variants, and VCF records using VRS and discuss how this can be leveraged to enable interoperable exchange and search operations between assayed variation and genomic knowledgebases.

Abstract
High-throughput sequencing provides sufficient means for determining genotypes of clinically important pharmacogenes that can be used to tailor medical decisions to individual patients. However, pharmacogene genotyping, also known as star-allele calling, is a challenging problem that requires accurate copy number calling, structural variation identification, variant calling, and phasing within each pharmacogene copy present in the sample. Here we introduce Aldy 4, a fast and efficient tool for genotyping pharmacogenes that uses combinatorial optimization for accurate star-allele calling across different sequencing technologies. Aldy 4 adds support for long reads and uses a novel phasing model and improved copy number and variant calling models. We compare Aldy 4 against the current state-of-the-art star-allele callers on a large and diverse set of samples and genes sequenced by various sequencing technologies, such as whole-genome and targeted Illumina sequencing, barcoded 10x Genomics, and Pacific Biosciences (PacBio) HiFi. We show that Aldy 4 is the most accurate star-allele caller with near-perfect accuracy in all evaluated contexts, and hope that Aldy remains an invaluable tool in the clinical toolbox even with the advent of long-read sequencing technologies.

Abstract
The Pharmacogene Variation Consortium (PharmVar) catalogs star (*) allele nomenclature for the polymorphic human CYP3A5 gene. Genetic variation within the CYP3A5 gene locus impacts the metabolism of several clinically important drugs, including the immunosuppressants tacrolimus, sirolimus, cyclosporine, and the benzodiazepine midazolam. Variable CYP3A5 activity is of clinical importance regarding tacrolimus metabolism. This GeneFocus provides a CYP3A5 gene summary with a focus on aspects regarding standardized nomenclature. In addition, this review also summarizes recent changes and updates, including the retirement of several allelic variants and provides an overview of how PharmVar CYP3A5 star allele nomenclature is utilized by the Pharmacogenomics Knowledgebase (PharmGKB) and the Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC).

Long-read HiFi sequencing of NUDT15: Phased full-gene haplotyping and pharmacogenomic allele discovery. Hum Mutat 2022; 43:1557-1566.

Abstract
To determine the phase of NUDT15 sequence variants for more comprehensive star (*) allele diplotyping, we developed a novel long-read single-molecule real-time HiFi amplicon sequencing method. A 10.5 kb NUDT15 amplicon assay was validated using reference material positive controls and additional samples for specimen type and blinded accuracy assessment. Triplicate NUDT15 HiFi sequencing of two reference material samples had nonreference genotype concordances of >99.9%, indicating that the assay is robust. Notably, short-read genome sequencing of a subset of samples was unable to determine the phase of star (*) allele-defining NUDT15 variants, resulting in ambiguous diplotype results. In contrast, long-read HiFi sequencing phased all variants across the NUDT15 amplicons, including a *2/*9 diplotype that previously was characterized as *1/*2 in the 1000 Genomes Project v3 data set. Assay throughput was also tested using 8.5 kb amplicons from 100 Ashkenazi Jewish individuals, which identified a novel NUDT15 *1 suballele (c.-121G>A) and a rare likely deleterious coding variant (p.Pro129Arg). Both novel alleles were Sanger confirmed and assigned as *1.007 and *20, respectively, by the PharmVar Consortium. Taken together, NUDT15 HiFi amplicon sequencing is an innovative method for phased full-gene characterization and novel allele discovery, which could improve NUDT15 pharmacogenomic testing and subsequent phenotype prediction.

Abstract
The goals of the Association for Molecular Pathology Clinical Practice Committee's Pharmacogenomics (PGx) Working Group are to define the key attributes of pharmacogenetic alleles recommended for clinical testing and a minimum set of variants that should be included in clinical PGx genotyping assays. This article provides recommendations for a minimum panel of variant alleles (Tier 1) and an extended panel of variant alleles (Tier 2) that will aid clinical laboratories when designing assays for PGx testing. The Association for Molecular Pathology PGx Working Group considered the functional impact of the variant alleles, allele frequencies in multiethnic populations, the availability of reference materials, as well as other technical considerations for PGx testing when developing these recommendations. The ultimate goal of this Working Group is to promote standardization of PGx gene/allele testing across clinical laboratories. This article focuses on clinical TPMT and NUDT15 PGx testing, which may be applied to all thiopurine S-methyltransferase (TPMT) and nudix hydrolase 15 (NUDT15)-related medications. These recommendations are not to be interpreted as prescriptive, but to provide a reference guide.

Abstract
Pharmacogenetic testing is increasingly provided by clinical and research laboratories; however, only a limited number of quality control and reference materials are currently available for many of the TPMT and NUDT15 variants included in clinical tests. To address this need, the Division of Laboratory Systems, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention-based Genetic Testing Reference Material (GeT-RM) coordination program, in collaboration with members of the pharmacogenetic testing and research communities and the Coriell Institute for Medical Research, has characterized 19 DNA samples derived from Coriell cell lines. DNA samples were distributed to four volunteer testing laboratories for genotyping using a variety of commercially available and laboratory developed tests and/or Sanger sequencing. Of the 12 samples characterized for TPMT, newly identified variants include TPMT∗2, ∗6, ∗12, ∗16, ∗21, ∗24, ∗32, ∗33, and ∗40; for the 7 NUDT15 reference material samples, newly identified variants are NUDT15∗2, ∗3, ∗4, ∗5, ∗6, and ∗9. In addition, a novel haplotype, TPMT∗46, was identified in this study. Preexisting data on an additional 11 Coriell samples, as well as some supplemental testing, were used to create comprehensive reference material panels for TPMT and NUDT15. These publicly available and well-characterized materials can be used to support the quality assurance and quality control programs of clinical laboratories performing clinical pharmacogenetic testing.

PLoS Genet 2022; 18:e1010176. [PMID: 36149915 PMCID: PMC9534437 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pgen.1010176] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2022] [Revised: 10/05/2022] [Accepted: 09/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
CYP2D6 is a very important pharmacogene as it is responsible for the metabolization or bioactivation of 20 to 30% of the clinically used drugs. However, despite its relatively small length of only 4.4 kb, it is one of the most challenging pharmacogenes to genotype due to the high similarity with its neighboring pseudogenes and the frequent occurrence of CYP2D6-CYP2D7 hybrids. Unfortunately, most current genotyping methods are therefore not able to correctly determine the complete CYP2D6-CYP2D7 sequence. Therefore, we developed a genotyping assay to generate complete allele-specific consensus sequences of complex regions by optimizing the PCR-free nanopore Cas9-targeted sequencing (nCATS) method combined with adaptive sequencing, and developing a new comprehensive long read genotyping (CoLoRGen) pipeline. The CoLoRGen pipeline first generates consensus sequences of both alleles and subsequently determines both large structural and small variants to ultimately assign the correct star-alleles. In reference samples, our genotyping assay confirms the presence of CYP2D6-CYP2D7 large structural variants, single nucleotide variants (SNVs), and small insertions and deletions (INDELs) that go undetected by most current assays. Moreover, our results provide direct evidence that the CYP2D6 genotype of the NA12878 DNA should be updated to include the CYP2D6-CYP2D7 *68 hybrid and several additional single nucleotide variants compared to existing references. Ultimately, the nCATS-CoLoRGen genotyping assay additionally allows for more accurate gene function predictions by enabling the possibility to detect and phase de novo mutations in addition to known large structural and small variants. During the last decades, the usefulness of personalized medicine has become increasingly apparent. Directly linked to that is the need for accurate genotyping assays to determine the pharmacogenetic profile of patients. Continuing research has led to the development of genotyping assays that perform quite robustly. However, complex genes remain an issue when it comes to determining the complete sequence correctly. An example of such a complex but very important pharmacogene is CYP2D6. Therefore, we developed a genotyping assay in an attempt to generate complete allele-specific consensus sequences of CYP2D6, by optimizing a targeted amplification-free long-read sequencing method and developing a new analysis pipeline. In reference samples, we showed that our genotyping assay performed accurately and confirmed the presence of variants that go undetected by most current assays. However, the implementation of this assay in practice is still hampered as the selected enrichment strategies inherently lead to a low percentage of on-target reads, resulting in low on-target sequencing depths. Further optimization and validation of the assay is thus needed, but definitely worth considering for follow-up research as we already demonstrated the added value for generating more complete genotypes, which on its turn will result in more accurate gene function predictions.

Abstract
Recent pan-genome studies have revealed an abundance of DNA sequences in human genomes that are not present in the reference genome. A lion's share of these non-reference sequences (NRSs) cannot be reliably assembled or placed on the reference genome. Improvements in long-read and synthetic long-read (aka linked-read) technologies have great potential for the characterization of NRSs. While synthetic long reads require less input DNA than long-read datasets, they are algorithmically more challenging to use. Except for computationally expensive whole-genome assembly methods, there is no synthetic long-read method for NRS detection. We propose a novel integrated alignment-based and local assembly-based algorithm, Novel-X, that uses the barcode information encoded in synthetic long reads to improve the detection of such events without a whole-genome de novo assembly. Our evaluations demonstrate that Novel-X finds many non-reference sequences that cannot be found by state-of-the-art short-read methods. We applied Novel-X to a diverse set of 68 samples from the Polaris HiSeq 4000 PGx cohort. Novel-X discovered 16 691 NRS insertions of size > 300 bp (total length 18.2 Mb). Many of them are population specific or may have a functional impact.

ClinPharmSeq: A targeted sequencing panel for clinical pharmacogenetics implementation. PLoS One 2022; 17:e0272129. [PMID: 35901010 PMCID: PMC9333201 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0272129] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2022] [Accepted: 07/12/2022] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
The accurate identification of genetic variants contributing to therapeutic drug response or adverse effects is the first step in implementation of precision drug therapy. Targeted sequencing has recently become a common methodology for large-scale studies of genetic variation thanks to its favorable balance between low cost, high throughput, and deep coverage. Here, we present ClinPharmSeq, a targeted sequencing panel of 59 genes with associations to pharmacogenetic (PGx) phenotypes, as a platform to explore the relationship between drug response and genetic variation, both common and rare. For validation, we sequenced DNA from 64 ethnically diverse Coriell samples with ClinPharmSeq to call star alleles (haplotype patterns) in 27 genes using the bioinformatics tool PyPGx. These reference samples were extensively characterized by multiple laboratories using PGx testing assays and, more recently, whole genome sequencing. We found that ClinPharmSeq can consistently generate deep-coverage data (mean = 274x) with high uniformity (30x or above = 94.8%). Our genotype analysis identified a total of 185 unique star alleles from sequencing data, and showed that diplotype calls from ClinPharmSeq are highly concordant with that from previous publications (97.6%) and whole genome sequencing (97.9%). Notably, all 19 star alleles with complex structural variation including gene deletions, duplications, and hybrids were recalled with 100% accuracy. Altogether, these results demonstrate that the ClinPharmSeq platform offers a feasible path for broad implementation of PGx testing and optimization of individual drug treatments.

Combining familial hypercholesterolemia and statin genetic studies as a strategy for the implementation of pharmacogenomics. A multidisciplinary approach.

Abstract
The diagnostic process of familial hypercholesterolemia frequently involves the use of genetic studies. Patients are treated with lipid-lowering drugs, frequently statins. Although pharmacogenomic clinical practice guidelines focusing on genotype-based statin prescription have been published, their use in routine clinical practice remains very modest.We have implemented a new NGS strategy that combines a panel of genes related to familial hypercholesterolemia with genomic regions related to the pharmacogenomics of lipid-lowering drugs described in clinical practice guidelines and in EMA and FDA drug labels. A multidisciplinary team of doctors, biologists, and pharmacists creates a clinical report that provides diagnostic and therapeutic findings using a knowledge management and clinical decision support system, as well as an algorithm for treatment selection.For 12 months, a total of 483 genetic diagnostic studies for familial hypercholesterolemia were carried out, of which 221 (45.8%) requested a complementary pharmacogenomic test. Of these 221 patients, 66.5% were carriers of actionable variants in any of the studied pharmacogenomic pathways: 46.6% of patients in one pathway, 19.0% in two pathways, and 0.9% in three pathways. 45.7% of patients could have a response to atorvastatin different from that of the reference population, 45.7% for simvastatin and lovastatin, 29.0% for fluvastatin, and 6.7% patients for pitavastatin.This implementation approach facilitates the incorporation of pharmacogenomic studies in clinical care practice, it does not add complexity nor additional steps to laboratory processes, and improves the pharmacotherapeutic process of patients.

Abstract
DNA-based screening in individuals without known risk factors potentially identifies those who may benefit from genetic counseling, early medical interventions, and/or avoidance of late or missed diagnoses. While not currently in widespread usage, technological advances in genetic analysis overcome barriers to access by enabling less labor-intensive and more cost-efficient means to discover variants of clinical importance. This study describes the technical validation of a 430-gene next-generation sequencing based assay, GeneCompassTM, indicated for the screening of healthy individuals in the areas of actionable health risks, pharmaceutical drug response, and wellness traits. The test includes genes associated with Mendelian disorders and genetic susceptibility loci, encompassing 14 clinical areas and pharmacogenetic variants. The custom-designed target enrichment capture and bioinformatics pipelines interrogate multiple variant types, including single nucleotide variants, insertions/deletions (indels), copy number variants, and functional haplotypes (star alleles), including tandem alleles and structural variants. Validation was performed against reference DNA from three sources: 1000 Genomes Project (n = 3), Coriell biobank (n = 105), and previously molecularly characterized biological specimens: blood (n = 15) and saliva (n = 11). Analytical sensitivity and specificity for single nucleotide variants (SNVs) were 97.57% and 99.99%, respectively, and for indels were 74.57% and 97.34%, respectively. This study demonstrates the validity of an NGS assay for genetic screening and the broadening of access to preventative genomics.

Abstract
Pharmacogenetic tests typically target selected sequence variants to identify haplotypes that are often defined by star (∗) allele nomenclature. Due to their design, these targeted genotyping assays are unable to detect novel variants that may change the function of the gene product and thereby affect phenotype prediction and patient care. In the current study, 137 DNA samples that were previously characterized by the Genetic Testing Reference Material (GeT-RM) program using a variety of targeted genotyping methods were recharacterized using targeted and whole genome sequencing analysis. Sequence data were analyzed using three genotype calling tools to identify star allele diplotypes for CYP2C8, CYP2C9, and CYP2C19. The genotype calls from next-generation sequencing (NGS) correlated well to those previously reported, except when novel alleles were present in a sample. Six novel alleles and 38 novel suballeles were identified in the three genes due to identification of variants not covered by targeted genotyping assays. In addition, several ambiguous genotype calls from a previous study were resolved using the NGS and/or long-read NGS data. Diplotype calls were mostly consistent between the calling algorithms, although several discrepancies were noted. This study highlights the utility of NGS for pharmacogenetic testing and demonstrates that there are many novel alleles that are yet to be discovered, even in highly characterized genes such as CYP2C9 and CYP2C19.

Abstract
Pharmacogenomic testing interrogates germline sequence variants implicated in interindividual drug response variability to infer a drug response phenotype and to guide medication management for certain drugs. Specifically, discrete aspects of pharmacokinetics, such as drug metabolism, and pharmacodynamics, as well as drug sensitivity, can be predicted by genes that code for proteins involved in these pathways. Pharmacogenomics is unique and differs from inherited disease genetics because the drug response phenotype can be drug-dependent and is often unrecognized until an unexpected drug reaction occurs or a patient fails to respond to a medication. Genes and variants with sufficiently high levels of evidence and consensus may be included in a clinical pharmacogenomic test; however, result interpretation and phenotype prediction can be challenging for some genes and medications. This document provides a resource for laboratories to develop and implement clinical pharmacogenomic testing by summarizing publicly available resources and detailing best practices for pharmacogenomic nomenclature, testing, result interpretation, and reporting.

Abstract
Background The All of Us Research Program (AoURP, “the program”) is an initiative, sponsored by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), that aims to enroll one million people (or more) across the USA. Through repeated engagement of participants, a research resource is being created to enable a variety of future observational and interventional studies. The program has also committed to genomic data generation and returning important health-related information to participants. Methods Whole-genome sequencing (WGS), variant calling processes, data interpretation, and return-of-results procedures had to be created and receive an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The performance of the entire workflow was assessed through the largest known cross-center, WGS-based, validation activity that was refined iteratively through interactions with the FDA over many months. Results The accuracy and precision of the WGS process as a device for the return of certain health-related genomic results was determined to be sufficient, and an IDE was granted. Conclusions We present here both the process of navigating the IDE application process with the FDA and the results of the validation study as a guide to future projects which may need to follow a similar path. Changes to the program in the future will be covered in supplementary submissions to the IDE and will support additional variant classes, sample types, and any expansion to the reportable regions.

Abstract
Clinical laboratories offering genome sequencing have the opportunity to return pharmacogenomic findings to patients, providing the added benefit of preemptive testing that could help inform medication selection or dosing throughout the lifespan. Implementation of pharmacogenomic reporting must address several challenges, including inherent limitations in short-read genome sequencing methods, gene and variant selection, standardization of genotype and phenotype nomenclature, and choice of guidelines and drugs to report. An automated pipeline, lmPGX, was developed as an end-to-end solution that produces two versions of a pharmacogenomic report, presenting either Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium or US Food and Drug Administration guidelines for 12 genes. The pipeline was validated for performance using reference samples and pharmacogenetic data from the Genetic Testing Reference Materials Coordination Program. To determine performance and limitations, lmPGX was compared with three additional publicly available pharmacogenomic pipelines. The lmPGX pipeline offers clinical laboratories an opportunity for seamless integration of pharmacogenomic results with genome reporting.

Abstract
Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) rank as one of the top 10 leading causes of death and illness in developed countries. ADRs show differential features depending upon genotype, age, sex, race, pathology, drug category, route of administration, and drug–drug interactions. Pharmacogenomics (PGx) provides the physician effective clues for optimizing drug efficacy and safety in major problems of health such as cardiovascular disease and associated disorders, cancer and brain disorders. Important aspects to be considered are also the impact of immunopharmacogenomics in cutaneous ADRs as well as the influence of genomic factors associated with COVID-19 and vaccination strategies. Major limitations for the routine use of PGx procedures for ADRs prevention are the lack of education and training in physicians and pharmacists, poor characterization of drug-related PGx, unspecific biomarkers of drug efficacy and toxicity, cost-effectiveness, administrative problems in health organizations, and insufficient regulation for the generalized use of PGx in the clinical setting. The implementation of PGx requires: (i) education of physicians and all other parties involved in the use and benefits of PGx; (ii) prospective studies to demonstrate the benefits of PGx genotyping; (iii) standardization of PGx procedures and development of clinical guidelines; (iv) NGS and microarrays to cover genes with high PGx potential; and (v) new regulations for PGx-related drug development and PGx drug labelling.

Abstract
Many antidepressants, atomoxetine, and several antipsychotics are metabolized by the cytochrome P450 enzymes CYP2D6 and CYP2C19, and guidelines for prescribers based on genetic variants exist. Although some laboratories offer such testing, there is no consensus regarding validated methodology for clinical genotyping of CYP2D6 and CYP2C19. The aim of this paper was to cross-validate multiple technologies for genotyping CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 against each other, and to contribute to feasibility for clinical implementation by providing an enhanced range of assay options, customizable automated translation of data into haplotypes, and a workflow algorithm. AmpliChip CYP450 and some TaqMan single nucleotide variant (SNV) and copy number variant (CNV) data in the Genome-based therapeutic drugs for depression (GENDEP) study were used to select 95 samples (out of 853) to represent as broad a range of CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 genotypes as possible. These 95 included a larger range of CYP2D6 hybrid configurations than have previously been reported using inter-technology data. Genotyping techniques employed were: further TaqMan CNV and SNV assays, xTAGv3 Luminex CYP2D6 and CYP2C19, PharmacoScan, the Ion AmpliSeq Pharmacogenomics Panel, and, for samples with CYP2D6 hybrid configurations, long-range polymerase chain reactions (L-PCRs) with Sanger sequencing and Luminex. Agena MassARRAY was also used for CYP2C19. This study has led to the development of a broader range of TaqMan SNV assays, haplotype phasing methodology with TaqMan adaptable for other technologies, a multiplex genotyping method for efficient identification of some hybrid haplotypes, a customizable automated translation of SNV and CNV data into haplotypes, and a clinical workflow algorithm.

Abstract
The increasing availability of next generation sequencing (NGS) for personal genomics could promote pharmacogenomics (PGx) discovery and application. However, current tools for analysis and interpretation of pharmacogenomic variants from NGS data are inadequate, as none offer comprehensive analytic functions in a simple, web-based platform. In addition, no tools exist to analyze human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes for determining potential risks of immune-mediated adverse drug reaction (IM-ADR). We describe PharmVIP, a web-based PGx tool, for one-stop comprehensive analysis and interpretation of genome-wide variants obtained from NGS platforms. PharmVIP comprises three main interpretation modules covering analyses of pharmacogenes involved in pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and IM-ADR. The Guideline module provides Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC) drug guideline recommendations based on the translation of genotypic data in genes having guidelines. The HLA module reports HLA genotypes, potential adverse drug reactions, and the relevant drug guidelines. The Pharmacogenes module is employed for prioritizing variants according to variant effect on gene function. Detailed, customizable reports are provided as exportable files and as an interactive web version. PharmVIP is a new integrated NGS workflow for the PGx community to facilitate discovery and clinical application.

Abstract
Pharmacogenomics clinical decision support (PGx-CDS) is an important tool to incorporate PGx information into existing clinical workflows and facilitate PGx clinical translation. However, due to the lack of a computable formalization to represent the primary PGx knowledge, the complexity of genomics information and the lag of current commercial electronic health record (EHR) system for precision medicine, it is difficult to develop computerized PGx-CDS. Therefore, we explored a novel approach to build an information system, named the Pharmacogenomics Clinical Translation Platform (PCTP), for PGx clinical implementation. The PCTP can represent, store, and manage the primary PGx knowledge in a structured and computable format. Moreover, it has the potential to provide various PGx-CDS services and simplify the integration of PGx-CDS into EHRs.

Abstract
Aim: The clinical utility of pharmacogenomics (PGx) has been gaining traction alongside growing evidence that adverse drug reactions (ADRs) have significant genetic associations. Nala PGx Core® is a multi-gene qPCR-based panel of 20 allele variants, comprising 18 SNPs and two CYP2D6 copy number markers across four pharmacogenes - CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6 and SLCO1B1. Methods: In this study, we validated the performance of Nala PGx Core® against benchmark methods, on the Singaporean and Indonesian populations. Results & conclusion: Nala PGx Core® demonstrated robust and accurate genotyping when compared with other established benchmarks. Furthermore, the panel successfully characterized alleles of clinical relevance, such as CYP2D6*10 and CYP2D6*36, across major ethnic groups present of Singapore and Indonesia, suggesting its potential for adoption in clinical workflows regionally.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The implementation of pharmacogenetics (PGx) in clinical practice is an essential tool for personalized medicine. However, clinical laboratories must validate their procedures before being used to perform PGx studies in patients, in order to confirm that they are adequate for the intended purposes. METHODS We designed a validation process for our in-house pharmacogenetic PCR-based method assay. RESULTS The concordance to reference, repeatability and reproducibility was 100%. Sensitivity and specificity were 100% for the detection of variant diplotypes in CYP2C9, CYP3A5, TPMT, DPYD and UGT1A1 genes. The sensitivity was lower in the detection of CYP2C19 variants due to a limitation in the design that prevents the detection of CYP2C19 *2/*10 diplotype. CONCLUSIONS The success of implementing clinical pharmacogenetic testing into routine clinical practice is dependent on the precision of genotyping. Limitations must be bearing in mind to guarantee the quality of PGx assays in clinical laboratory practice. We provided objective evidence that the necessary requirements in our laboratory-development assay were fulfilled.

Abstract
RATIONALE Standardized dosing of anti-tubercular drugs contributes to a substantial incidence of toxicities, inadequate treatment response, and relapse, in part due to variable drug levels achieved. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the N-acetyltransferase-2 (NAT2) gene explain the majority of interindividual pharmacokinetic variability of isoniazid (INH). However, an obstacle to implementing pharmacogenomic-guided dosing is the lack of a point-of-care assay. OBJECTIVES To develop and test a NAT2 classification algorithm, validate its performance in predicting isoniazid clearance, and develop a prototype pharmacogenomic assay. METHODS We trained random forest models to predict NAT2 acetylation genotype from unphased SNP data using a global collection of 8,561 phased genomes. We enrolled 48 pulmonary TB patients, performed sparse pharmacokinetic sampling, and tested the acetylator prediction algorithm accuracy against estimated INH clearance. We then developed a cartridge-based multiplex qPCR assay on the GeneXpert platform and assessed its analytical sensitivity on whole blood samples from healthy individuals. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS With a 5-SNP model trained on two-thirds of the data (n=5,738), out-of-sample acetylation genotype prediction accuracy on the remaining third (n=2,823) was 100%. Among the 48 TB patients, predicted acetylator types were: 27 (56.2%) slow, 16 (33.3%) intermediate and 5 (10.4%) rapid. INH clearance rates were lowest in predicted slow acetylators (median 14.5 L/hr), moderate in intermediate acetylators (median 40.3 L/hr) and highest in fast acetylators (median 53.0 L/hr). The cartridge-based assay accurately detected all allele patterns directly from 25 ul of whole blood. CONCLUSIONS An automated pharmacogenomic assay on a platform widely used globally for tuberculosis diagnosis could enable personalized dosing of isoniazid.

Abstract
The Pharmacogene Variation Consortium (PharmVar) catalogues star (*) allele nomenclature for the polymorphic human CYP2C9 gene. Genetic variation within the CYP2C9 gene locus impacts the metabolism or bioactivation of many clinically important drugs, including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, phenytoin, antidiabetic agents, and angiotensin receptor blockers. Variable CYP2C9 activity is of particular importance regarding efficacy and safety of warfarin and siponimod as indicated in their package inserts. This GeneFocus provides a comprehensive overview and summary of CYP2C9 and describes how haplotype information catalogued by PharmVar is utilized by the Pharmacogenomics Knowledgebase and the Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium.

Abstract
The goals of the Association for Molecular Pathology Clinical Practice Committee's Pharmacogenomics (PGx) Working Group are to define the key attributes of pharmacogenetic alleles recommended for clinical testing, and to determine a minimal set of variants that should be included in clinical PGx genotyping assays. This document series provides recommendations on a minimal panel of variant alleles (Tier 1) and an extended panel of variant alleles (Tier 2) that will aid clinical laboratories in designing assays for PGx testing. When developing these recommendations, the Association for Molecular Pathology PGx Working Group considered the functional impact of the variant alleles, allele frequencies in multiethnic populations, the availability of reference materials, as well as other technical considerations with regard to PGx testing. The ultimate goal of this Working Group is to promote standardization of PGx gene/allele testing across clinical laboratories. This document is focused on clinical CYP2D6 PGx testing that may be applied to all cytochrome P450 2D6-metabolized medications. These recommendations are not meant to be interpreted as prescriptive but to provide a reference guide for clinical laboratories that may be either implementing PGx testing or reviewing and updating their existing platform.

Abstract
The evidence for pharmacogenetics has grown rapidly in recent decades. However, the strength of evidence required for the clinical implementation of pharmacogenetics is highly debated. Therefore, the purpose of this review is to summarize different perspectives on the evidence required for the clinical implementation of pharmacogenetics. First, we present two patient cases that demonstrate how knowledge of pharmacogenetic evidence affected their care. Then we summarize resources that curate pharmacogenetic evidence, types of evidence (with an emphasis on randomized controlled trials [RCT]) and their limitations, and different perspectives from implementers, clinicians, and patients. We compare pharmacogenetics to a historical example (i.e., the evidence required for the clinical implementation of pharmacokinetics/therapeutic drug monitoring), and we provide future perspectives on the evidence for pharmacogenetic panels and the need for more education in addition to evidence. Although there are differences in the interpretation of pharmacogenetic evidence across resources, efforts for standardization are underway. Survey data illustrate the value of pharmacogenetic testing from the patient perspective, with their providers seen as key to ensuring maximum benefit from test results. However, clinicians and practice guidelines from medical societies often rely on RCT data to guide treatment decisions, which are not always feasible or ethical in pharmacogenetics. Thus, recognition of other types of evidence to support pharmacogenetic implementation is needed. Among pharmacogenetic implementers, consistent evidence of pharmacogenetic associations is deemed most critical. Ultimately, moving pharmacogenetics into practice will require consideration of multiple stakeholder perspectives, keeping particularly attuned to the voice of the ultimate stakeholder-the patient.

Abstract
Pharmacogenetic testing is increasingly available from clinical and research laboratories. However, only a limited number of quality control and other reference materials are currently available for many of the variants that are tested. The Association for Molecular Pathology Pharmacogenetic Work Group has published a series of papers recommending alleles for inclusion in clinical testing. Several of the alleles were not considered for tier 1 because of a lack of reference materials. To address this need, the Division of Laboratory Systems, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention-based Genetic Testing Reference Material (GeT-RM) program, in collaboration with members of the pharmacogenetic testing and research communities and the Coriell Institute for Medical Research, has characterized 18 DNA samples derived from Coriell cell lines. DNA samples were distributed to five volunteer testing laboratories for genotyping using three commercially available and laboratory developed tests. Several tier 2 variants, including CYP2C9∗13, CYP2C19∗35, the CYP2C cluster variant (rs12777823), two variants in VKORC1 (rs61742245 and rs72547529) related to warfarin resistance, and two variants in GGCX (rs12714145 and rs11676382) related to clotting factor activation, were identified among these samples. These publicly available materials complement the pharmacogenetic reference materials previously characterized by the GeT-RM program and will support the quality assurance and quality control programs of clinical laboratories that perform pharmacogenetic testing.

Abstract
As an important quality control link of molecular diagnosis, genetic reference materials (RMs) are widely used in various gene detection platforms such as mutation detection, gene quantification, and second generation sequencing. However, contamination, construction, and storage of existing genetic RMs still remain challenges. Here, we established a new genetic RM system based on Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We chose the non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) mutation hotspots in Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene (KRAS) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), using clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats and CRISPR-associated protein (CRISPR-Cas9) system-mediated gene editing technology, combined with the high homologous recombination efficiency of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. A single copy of the target gene was inserted into the yeast genome, and the inserted target gene was stably inherited with the passage of yeast cells. The copy number calculation for the target gene can replays by cell counting. The RM system was evaluated by sequence, copy number, stability, and homogeneity. In summary, the recombinant yeast cell line has ease of construction and screening, stable genetic characteristics, accurate copy number calculation, and convenient culture and preservation. Our findings may provide new ideas and directions for the research and industrialization of genetic RMs.

Abstract
The Pharmacogene Variation Consortium (PharmVar) catalogs star (*) allele nomenclature for the polymorphic human CYP2B6 gene. Genetic variation within the CYP2B6 gene locus impacts the metabolism or bioactivation of clinically important drugs. Of particular importance are efficacy and safety concerns regarding: efavirenz, which is used for the treatment of HIV type-1 infection; methadone, a mainstay in the treatment of opioid use disorder and as an analgesic; ketamine, used as an antidepressant and analgesic; and bupropion, which is prescribed to treat depression and for smoking cessation. This GeneFocus provides a comprehensive overview and summary of CYP2B6 and describes how haplotype information catalogued by PharmVar is utilized by the Pharmacogenomics Knowledgebase (PharmGKB) and the Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC).

Clin Pharmacol Ther 2021; 110:741-749. [PMID: 33492672 DOI: 10.1002/cpt.2173] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2020] [Accepted: 01/05/2021] [Indexed: 11/12/2022]
Abstract
Bioinformatics pipelines for calling star alleles (haplotypes) in cytochrome P450 (CYP) genes are important for the implementation of precision medicine. Genotyping CYP genes using high throughput sequencing data is complicated, e.g., by being highly polymorphic, not to mention the structural variations especially in CYP2D6, CYP2A6, and CYP2B6. Genome graph-based variant detection approaches have been shown to be reliable for genotyping HLA alleles. However, their application to enhancing star allele calling in CYP genes has not been extensively explored. We present StellarPGx, a Nextflow pipeline for accurately genotyping CYP genes by combining genome graph-based variant detection, read coverage information from the original reference-based alignments, and combinatorial diplotype assignments. The implementation of StellarPGx using Nextflow facilitates its portability, reproducibility, and scalability on various user platforms. StellarPGx is currently able to genotype 12 important pharmacogenes belonging to the CYP1, 2, and 3 families. For purposes of validation, we use CYP2D6 as a model gene owing to its high degree of polymorphisms (over 130 star alleles defined to date, including complex structural variants) and clinical importance. We applied StellarPGx and three existing callers to 109 whole genome sequenced samples for which the Genetic Testing Reference Material Coordination Program (GeT-RM) has recently provided consensus truth CYP2D6 diplotypes. StellarPGx had the highest CYP2D6 diplotype concordance (99%) with GeT-RM compared with Cyrius (98%), Aldy (82%), and Stargazer (84%). This exemplifies the high accuracy of StellarPGx and highlights its importance for both research and clinical pharmacogenomics applications. The StellarPGx pipeline is open-source and available from https://github.com/SBIMB/StellarPGx.
