Table 2 Summary of the Coriell Personalized Medicine Collaborative drug-gene pharmacogenomics reports evaluated by the Pharmacogenomics Advisory Group

From: The Coriell personalized medicine collaborative pharmacogenomics appraisal, evidence scoring and interpretation system

Drug and gene pair(s)

Approval status

Reason for rejection/deferral

Highly actionable genetic resultsa

Warfarin and VKORC1 , CYP2C9 , CYP4F2 , or GGCX

All except GGCX approved

Insufficient clinical support for GGCX at time of submission evaluation

Low warfarin dose requirementb

Clopidogrel and CYP2C19

Approved

NA

Poor metabolizers

Tamoxifen and CYP2D6

Deferred

The data linking prognostic and predictive relevance of CYP2D6 variants to guide tamoxifen therapy for breast cancer was inconclusive. Vote has been deferred pending publication of anticipated clinical trials data

Vote deferred

Codeine and CYP2D6

Approved

NA

Ultra-rapid metabolizers

Metoprolol and CYP2D6

Rejected

Lack of clinical evidence, and given prescribing practices, the genetic results are unlikely to influence drug dose adjustment

NA

Thiopurines and TPMT

Approved

NA

Intermediate and poor metabolizers

PPIs and CYP2C19

Approved

NA

None

Diazepam and CYP2C19

Rejected

Evidence for clinical consequences is weak

NA

Statins and CYP3A4/CYP3A5 , SLCO1B1 , LDLR , or HMGCR

Simvastatin and SLCO1B1: approved, CYP3A4/CYP3A5: deferred. LDLR and HMGCR: rejected

LDLR and HMGCR: evidence for clinical utility is lacking

Simvastatin and SLCO1B1: genetic results associated with decreased hepatic drug uptake

Celecoxib and CYP2C9

Approved

NA

*3/*3

Fluorouracil and DPYD

Rejected

Combination of recent evidence for lower penetrance of reduced activity variants, and a lack of good alternative treatment reduces the clinical utility of the PGx information

NA

  1. Abbreviations: NA not applicable.
  2. aGenetic results that warrant additional communication to participants who are at increased risk, and who have not viewed their risk report.
  3. b‘Low dose’ is defined as a daily therapeutic dose of 0.5 to 2 mg based on the FDA drug label genotype guidelines table.
