Cytogenetic and Biochemical Genetic Techniques for Personalized Drug Therapy in Europe

For many authorized drugs, accumulating scientific evidence supports testing for predictive biomarkers to apply personalized therapy and support preventive measures regarding adverse drug reactions and treatment failure. Here, we review cytogenetic and biochemical genetic testing methods that are av...

description For many authorized drugs, accumulating scientific evidence supports testing for predictive biomarkers to apply personalized therapy and support preventive measures regarding adverse drug reactions and treatment failure. Here, we review cytogenetic and biochemical genetic testing methods that are available to guide therapy with drugs centrally approved in the European Union (EU). We identified several methods and combinations of techniques registered in the Genetic Testing Registry (GTR), which can be used to guide therapy with drugs for which pharmacogenomic-related information is provided in the European public assessment reports. Although this registry provides information on genetic tests offered worldwide, we identified limitations regarding standard techniques applied in clinical practice and the information on test validity rarely provided in the according sections.
