Panel Talk: Standardizing Pharmacogenomics Laboratory Processes and Reporting

Panel Talk: Standardizing Pharmacogenomics Laboratory Processes and Reporting
Sponsored by Agena Bioscience®
Speakers: Kristine Ashcraft, Victoria Pratt, Glenn Sawyer
Precision medicine and pharmacogenomics (PGx) have become increasingly critical components of healthcare, but a lack of standardization in clinical laboratory processes and reporting has, up to this point, hindered widespread adoption and implementation.
In this panel discussion, PGx experts Vicky Pratt, past president of AMP and director of scientific affairs for pharmacogenetics at Agena, and Kristine Ashcraft, founder of YouScript, discuss the current state of PGx standardization and how they see things taking shape for the future by addressing topics including:
Terminology used to characterize metabolizer status.
Clinically relevant genes and variants critical for testing.
Alignment of supporting evidence from key PGx societies.
Structure and requirements of clinical reports.
