Medication exposure patterns in primary care patients prescribed pharmacogenetically actionable opioids

Qualitative Report – This study’s purpose was to develop a typology of subgroups of patients who share common patterns of medication exposure. To create the typology, we used an exemplar sample of 30 patients in a large public healthcare system who had been prescribed the pharmacogenetically actionable opioids codeine or tramadol.

Physician-Reported Benefits and Barriers to Clinical Implementation of Genomic Medicine: A Multi-Site IGNITE-Network Survey

Journal of Personalized Medicine – To understand potential barriers and provider attitudes, we surveyed 285 physicians from five Implementing GeNomics In pracTicE (IGNITE) sites about their perceptions as to the clinical utility of genetic data as well as their preparedness to integrate it into practice.

Role of genetic testing in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention

Expert Review of Clinical Pharmacology – The present manuscript provides an overview of genetic factors associated with response profiles to platelet P2Y12 receptor inhibitors and their clinical implications, as well as the most recent developments and future considerations on the role of genetic testing in patients undergoing PCI.

Challenges and strategies for implementing genomic services in diverse settings: experiences from the Implementing GeNomics In pracTicE (IGNITE) network

BMC Medical Genomics – The objective of this study was to synthesize data on challenges identified by six diverse projects that are part of a National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI)-funded network focused on implementing genomics into practice and strategies to overcome these challenges.

Institutional profile: University of Florida Health Personalized Medicine Program

Pharmacogenomics – We are contributing to the evidence based on outcomes with genotype-guided therapy through pragmatic studies of our clinical implementations. In addition, we have developed a broad array of educational programs for providers, trainees and students that incorporate personal genotype evaluation to enhance participant learning.

The IGNITE Pharmacogenetics Working Group: An Opportunity for Building Evidence with Pharmacogenetic Implementation in a Real‐World Setting

Clinical Translational Science – One of the challenges hindering genomic implementation is the limited data on the outcomes and cost‐effectiveness of genotype‐guided drug therapy. The IGNITE network, consisting of institutions funded in the network and affiliate members, includes a number of institutions that have implemented pharmacogenetic testing to assist with prescribing decisions.
