Consideration of patient preferences and challenges in storage and access of pharmacogenetic test results

Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: Pharmacogenetic (PGx) testing is one of the primary drivers of personalized medicine. The use of PGx testing may provide a lifetime of benefits through tailoring drug dosing and selection of multiple medications to improve therapeutic outcomes and reduce adverse responses. We aimed to assess public interest and concerns regarding sharing and storage of PGx test results that would facilitate the re-use of PGx data across a lifetime of care.
