Guidance for selecting a drug therapy and/or dose
With the goal to detect and predict if genetic variants are related to the presence, absence, or risk of diseases, IGX directly sources the drug-gene interaction pairs and actions to be taken for the PGx test from biomarker information found in the FDA’s Table of Pharmacogenetic Associations. This table illustrates patient subgroups with genetic variants, or genetic variant-inferred phenotypes that are likely to have altered drug metabolism, and in some instances, differential therapeutic effects, including differences in adverse events risks. Additionally, IGX directly sources drug-gene interactions from the FDA’s Table of Pharmacogenomic Biomarkers in Drug Labeling, which lists therapeutic products from the Drugs@FDA website with pharmacogenomic information in their drug labeling. From the Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC), IGX only sources Level A and B gene-drug pairs and clinical practice guidelines for inclusion in the PGx test.
The target population for the test are adults whose providers have identified on them therapeutic failure, personal or family history of adverse drug reactions, experiencing polypharmacy, the medications they intend to use have FDA black box labels, and/or provide pharmacogenomics guidance and recommendations in their labels, or the provider has identified that either the patient establishes an exaggerated response to a medication’s standard dose, or requires a higher dose to achieve the desired response.

Your healthcare provider will have to order a PGx test for the patient if appropriate. Once received the collection kit, the healthcare provider will collect your DNA sample via buccal (cheek) swab, extracted gDNA sources, or whole blood samples before sending to IGX laboratory. The lab will perform DNA extraction and NGS library prep for amplicon sequencing. The data will be analyzed and the report will be generated in-house using IGX database. The report will then be provided to the healthcare provider and they will review the test results during a post-PGx consultation and develop a personalized treatment strategy. 000 Health care providers are able to order Pharmacogenetic testing electronically and by paper requisition.
