FAQ

The GDA with Enhanced PGx is ideal for clinical and translational researchers interested in PGx research, polygenic risk score development, genetic disease research, ancestry determination, and more. PGx research aims to enable physicians to tailor treatment through medication substitution or dosage augmentation and reduce potential risks, resulting in lower medical costs, shorter hospital stays, and improved medication safety and efficacy.

The GDA with Enhanced PGx offers genome-wide coverage of > 44K ADME markers, including critical PGx genes such as CYP2D6, compared with ~31K genome-wide ADME markers on the GDA. It also includes a targeted gene amplification step for accurate genotyping of critical genes such as CYP2D6, CYP2B6, and TPMT. > 6K variants from globally recognized PGx databases including PharmGKB, CPIC, ClinVar, and PharmVar are also included.

The GDA with Enhanced PGx workflow contains an additional step for targeted gene amplification (TGA) to disambiguate pseudogenes. The protocol requires a thermal cycler on day 1. On day 2, the TGA reaction product is added to the whole genome amplification (WGA) reaction product and the remaining workflow steps proceed like the standard GDA, beginning with fragmentation. The overall workflow time is similar for both assays.
