Pharmacogenetics Committee

Committee Purpose

  • To promote the knowledge about clinically relevant DNA testing to optimize drug therapy
  • To enhance the translation of research into clinical practice
  • To encourage discussions on the clinical relevance of specific pharmacogenetics tests, to encourage research into clinically important areas with respect to drug treatment
  • To encourage interaction between pharmacologist and toxicologist to promote "toxicogenetics"

Committee Initiatives & Activities

2021 Make proposal for IATDMCT PGx session in the next Congress.
Propose/validate a (minimal) NGS panel to be used for pharmacogenetic applications in the field of TDM and CT (to be published in IATDMCT Compass).
Explore the need for updated PGx guidelines in immunosuppressive therapy.
Increase membership.
2019 Informed members of IATDMCT on current discussions regarding PGx testing, on new potentially interesting pharmacogenetic markers, and the emergence of new technologies.
