New CPIC Guideline: CYP2D6 and atomoxetine

The CPIC Guideline for atomoxetine and CYP2D6 is now published in Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics. The accepted article can be viewed on the PharmGKB page for atomoxetine, and the CPIC website. Atomoxetine is a non-stimulant medication used in the treatment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Atomoxetine is metabolized by CYP2D6 and

New CPIC guideline: potent volatile anesthetic agents and succinylcholine in the context of RYR1 or CACNA1S genotypes

The CPIC Guidelines for potent volatile anesthetic agents and succinylcholine in the context of RYR1 or CACNA1S genotypes is now published in Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics. The accepted article can be viewed on the PharmGKB pages for RYR1 and CACNA1S, and the CPIC website. Potent volatile anesthetic agents are used

CYP2D614A and 14B are updated to 114 and 14 based on the current PharmVar release

PharmGKB and CPIC revised the CYP2D6 allele names *14A and *14B to be in concordance with the latest major PharmVar release. CYP2D6*14A is revised to *114 and *14B to *14 in the variant and clinical annotations. The allele choices in the annotation of the CPIC guidelines for CYP2D6 have

PharmGKB data used to establish a minimum genetic testing panel for psychiatry

The lack of standardization of which genes or alleles should be included in pharmacogenetic testing panels is a major barrier to the full implementation of pharmacogenomics in the clinic. In an effort to help clinicians select an appropriate pharmacogenetic test, Dr. Chad Bousman and Dr. Abdullah Al Maruf of the

CPIC grant awarded

The co-PIs of the Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC), Drs. Mary Relling of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (SJCRH) and Teri Klein of Stanford University, will receive $5 million over the next 5 years from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to continue and expand the project. CPIC

CYP2D6 genotype to phenotype standardization project - seeking feedback

The assignment of the CYP2D6 metabolizer phenotype based on a subject's genotype is an important aspect of clinical implementation of pharmacogenetics knowledge. Especially for CYP2D6, the genotype-inferred phenotypes vary across laboratories and guidelines. The goal of the CYP2D6 genotype to phenotype standardization project is to harmonize this translation.

NHGRI/NCI survey on genomics education

The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), who are supportive of PharmGKB and CPIC, have teamed up with the National Cancer Institute (NCI) to survey research and healthcare professionals about genomics education. The results of this survey will help to determine the resource and training priorities for future genomics education.

CPIC Guideline Update: Carbamazepine, Oxcarbazepine and HLA genotype

The CPIC Guideline for carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine and HLA genotype is now published in Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics. The accepted article can be viewed on the PharmGKB pages for carbamazepine and oxcarbazepine and on the CPIC website. Carbamazepine and oxcarbazepine are anticonvulsants which have been approved for treatment for epilepsy and,

New CPIC Guideline: CYP2D6 and tamoxifen

The CPIC Guideline for tamoxifen and CYP2D6 is now published in Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics. The accepted article can be viewed on the PharmGKB page for tamoxifen, and the CPIC website. Tamoxifen is a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) and is utilized in breast cancer treatment. Tamoxifen is extensively metabolized,

PharmCAT commentary in Clinical Pharmacology & Therapeutics

A commentary about the Pharmacogenomics Clinical Annotation Tool (PharmCAT) was recently published in Clinical Pharmacology & Therapeutics. PharmCAT is developed in a collaboration between the former PGRN Statistical Analysis Resource (P-STAR) and the Pharmacogenomics Knowledgebase (PharmGKB) with input from other groups (click here for a list of participants). PharmCAT will
