As pharmacogenomic (PGx) testing becomes an increasingly important component of precision medicine, molecular laboratories face a growing range of technology options, each with unique strengths, limitations, and implementation considerations.
This four-part educational whitepaper series provides a practical framework for understanding today's PGx testing technologies, from foundational concepts through technology selection and implementation. Begin with a complimentary introduction to PGx testing fundamentals, then complete the form to access three in-depth papers exploring PCR-based methods, multiplex and sequencing-based approaches, and practical guidance for choosing the right technology for your laboratory.
Whether you're evaluating new PGx capabilities or expanding an existing testing program, this educational series provides practical insights to help laboratories navigate the PGx technology landscape and make informed implementation decisions.
After completing this series, readers will be able to:
- Describe the major technologies used in pharmacogenomic testing and where they fit in the clinical laboratory.
- Compare the strengths, limitations, and applications of targeted, multiplex, and sequencing-based PGx approaches.
- Apply practical considerations for selecting and implementing PGx technologies based on laboratory and clinical needs.
