Abstract

Surveys among pharmacists and physicians show that these healthcare professionals have successfully adopted the concept of pharmacogenomics (PGx). 1-3 In addition, patients are willing to consent to participate in PGx implementation studies. 4 However, the surveys also show that healthcare professionals do not frequently order or recommend a PGx test. 1,2 Among others, a frequently perceived hurdle for clinical uptake of PGx is the availability of guidelines translating PGx test results into clinical actions for individual patients. 5,6 .
