Aims
The aim of the Task Force is to facilitate integration of
pharmacogenetic testing into routine diagnostics at tde appropriate
quality standards.
Objectives
- Obtain information on the potential clinical utility of
specific pharmacogenetic tests
- Obtain information on current perception of genetic variants to
be tested
- Obtain information on clinical recommendations based on the
pharmacogenetic test results from the clinical disciplines
involved.
- Discuss and weigh the information obtained.
- Prepare guiding documents, with participation of the clinical
disciplines involved, per drug/gene combination for pharmacogenetic
testing, addressing who to test, how to test, how to interpret and
how to report.
- Identify Pharmacogenetics Expert Labs, in collaboration with
the Committee for Molecular Diagnostics.
Delivery
- Network of pharmacogenetic experts from in- and outside
Clinical Chemistry.
- Network of specific contact persons within the relevant
clinical disciplines.
- Guidance documents: TPMT testing and
6-mercaptopurine/azathioprine, CYP2C19 testing and clopidogrel,
CYP2D6 testing and tamoxifen.
- Presentation of ongoing work of IFCC TF-PG in presentations and
posters at different conferences.
Accountability
The Task Force is directly responsible to tde EB through the
President.
