Implication

Analysis shows patterns of pharmacogenomic testing in adults and children, suggesting significant clinical implications.

Key Points

  • Ninety-four point five percent of individuals had actionable pharmacogenomic variants, indicating high clinical relevance.
  • Drug-gene interactions were identified for current medications in 19.3% of adults and 15.0% of youth, showing the importance of testing.
  • Barriers include inconsistent integration of pharmacogenomic results into electronic health records, limiting their utility in practice.
  • Disparities in test ordering correlated with gender and race, highlighting systemic inequities and variability in provider practices.
