Genetic variation among 82 pharmacogenes: The PGRNseq data from the eMERGE network

Abstract: Genetic variation can affect drug response in multiple ways, though it remains unclear how rare genetic variants affect drug response. The electronic Medical Records and Genomics (eMERGE) Network, collaborating with the Pharmacogenomics Research Network, began eMERGE-PGx, a targeted sequencing study to assess genetic variation in 82 pharmacogenes critical for implementation of “precision medicine.” The February 2015 eMERGE-PGx data release includes sequence-derived data from ~5000 clinical subjects. We present… Show more

“…29 Preliminary results from 2 clinical studies, 1 that recruited from a hospital system and the other from a long-term care facility, showed actionable genotypes for dosage changes or contraindication for the patients' current medications in 24% and 50% of patients, respectively. 30,31 Given our finding that 97% of patients had at least 1 actionable pharmacogenetic variant, and the results of a 5000-patient US study in which 96% of participants had actionable pharmacogenetic variants, 32 it is likely that future studies will show similar numbers. The high proportion of patients with actionable genotypes, coupled with the fact that 11% of Canadians aged 45-64 years and 30% of those aged 65-79 years take at least 5 prescription drugs concurrently, 33 indicates that preemptive administration of a pharmacogenetic test has enormous potential.…”

“…The previous studies prove that EHRs provide a new avenue for reusing already existing genotypes by studying their relationships with different phenotypes. In addition to disease and trait genetics, EHRs are also a precious resource for investigating pharmacogenetic traits [69] and developing reverse genetics approaches such as phenome-wide association studies (PheWAS) [70]. PheWAS allow generating hypotheses by testing a selected group of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and many phenotypes.…”

“…Recent years has seen the expansion of precision medicine, with the collection of full genomic sequence data for pharmacogenomics studies (Bush et al 2016;Rasmussen-Torvik et al 2014). Given the dramatic and rapid expansion of knowledge in this area, it is now widely accepted that physicians cannot digest the literature fast enough to implement research findings in clinical practice (Johansen Taber and Dickinson 2014).…”
