COMMERCIAL KITS FOR PHARMACOGENOMIC TESTING

diagnostic kits for pharmacogenetic testing
Some commercial kits are already existing which can help any lab to do the screening of relevant pharmacogenetic variants known today. One of these is for instance the DMET™ Plus Solution kit by Affimetrix, which covers 1,936 genetic variants across 231 relevant genes.

Another commercial kit available for pharmacogenomic testing is the VeraCode ADME Core Panel by Illumina, which interrogates variants in 34 genes. This panel is based on the recommendation of PharmaADME working group, consisting of industry and academic experts who has developed a list of pharmacogenetic markers.

Another kit offering the screening of the ADME genes as proposed by the PharmaADME working group is the iPLEX® ADME PGx Pro Panel provided by Agena Bioscience.
