PharmacogenomicsandPrecisionMedicine
Interpatientvariabilityindrugtherapyresponseisawell-knownpharmacotherapeuticconcept.Indeed,as

Theabilityofgeneticvariability(inheriteddifferences) toinfluencetherapeutic drugresponseisthe
basisofpharmacogeneticsandpharmacogenomics.Generally,pharmacogeneticsreferstosingleorafew
genevariations(calledpolymorphisms),whereaspharmacogenomicsrefersmorebroadlytothegenomewide (or an individual’s entire deoxyribonucleic acid [DNA] sequence) effects on drug therapy.
Precision medicine is a more recently coined term thatincludes pharmacogenetics/pharmacogenomics
and refers to “an emerging approach for disease treatment and prevention that takes into account
individualvariabilityingenes,environment,andlifestyleforeachperson”(NationalLibraryofMedicine
(2020).

Wecanthinkofpharmacogenomicsasthebasicscienceofprecisionmedicine,andindeed,muchofthe
progress that has been made in the field of precision medicine to date has been largely focused on
pharmacogenomics.
This chapter is geared toward future clinicians, particularly nurse practitioners and physician
assistants, to provide them with an overview of pharmacogenomics, the current state of the science,
including some pertinent examples, some relevant applications, and promises, pitfalls and policy
implications.

biomarkers include prostate-specific antigen for prostate cancer or hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), now
considered more reliable thanglucose tests as a marker of hyperglycemia. HbA1chas been added as
standard of care accordingto therecommendations of the American Diabetes Association not only to
detectdiabetesbutalso toinform abouttheprediabetic status, whichis a powerful predictive tool to
manage this disease in high-risk patients (Lyons & Basu, 2012). Genetic biomarkers, specific DNA
sequences,arealsobeingdiscovered.
ThebuildingblocksofDNAare thefournucleotide bases,includingthetwo purines—adenine (A)
andguanine (G)—and the two pyrimidines—thymine (T) and cytosine (C). DNA strands are linked

Themainorganinvolvedindetoxification/metabolism ofdrugsistheliver.TheCYPsuperfamilyof
liver enzymes is a key player in drug metabolism as these enzymes are directly involved in the
modification and processing of approximately 75% of all medications taken (Di, 2014; Tornio &
Backman,2018).TheimpactofgeneticmodificationsintheseCYPenzymeshasthereforeanimportant
impact on patient treatment. The following examples are focused on genetic alterations in these CYP
enzymesandtheirclinicalimplicationsfocusedoncommonlyusedcardiovascularmedicationsaswellas
aspecificclassofcommonlyusedantibiotics.
Clopidogrel:MetabolismandPolymorphism
TheP4502C19(CYP2C19)liverenzymeisoneofthebestcharacterizedP450isoenzymeswithclinical
implications linked to this genetic polymorphism. The CYP2C19 gene has 9 exons and is situated on
chromosome 10. Todate,morethan30 differentSNPshavebeenidentifiedforthisgene.Interestingly,
several years ago, reports emerged that not all patients metabolized clopidogrel in a similar manner,
regardlessoftheirageorweight,suggestingthatadditionalcomponentsmightbeinvolved.
Clopidogrel is a very common medication that is prescribed to patients undergoing acute coronary
syndrome(ACS). When patients arrive at the hospital withapartial coronaryobstruction,antiplatelet
agents are the gold standard in preventing irreversible cardiac ischemia. Clopidogrel is given as an
inactive prodrug that is rapidly converted to its active metabolite via hepatic bioactivation through
CYP2C19enzymes(seeChapters2and3forareviewofprodrugsandbiotransformation).Clopidogrel
inhibits ADP-mediated platelet activation and aggregation by irreversibly binding to the platelet
purinergicreceptorP2RY12.About15%ofclopidogrelismodifiedintoanactivecompoundand85%is
hydrolyzedtoinactiveformstobeexcreted.
Duetoitspotentnature,atimelyinterventionwiththispharmacologicagentisessentialtopreventing
furtherblockageanddeath,makingdosagekeytoattainingefficaciousandsafetreatment.Themetabolism
of clopidogrel to its active metabolite is critical to successful treatment, and thus inherited genetic
polymorphisms associated with CYP2C19 have a high impact on the physiological responses to
clopidogrel in patients. Genetic variants of the CYP2C19 gene result in normal, reduced, or absent
enzyme activity or candirectlylead toanoveractive enzyme. As summarizedin Figure 7.2, different
mutationsareresponsiblefortheselevelsofenzymatic activity. Inpharmacogenomics,geneticvariants
are identified using a special nomenclature (see Box 7.2). While CYP2C19*1 is the wild-type allele
resulting in normal enzyme activity, the most common loss-of-function variant is referred to as
CYP2C19*2(681G>A)(Schuldineretal.,2009).TheCYP2C19*2allele isinheritedasanautosomal

Around 2% to 15% of patients carry loss-of-function mutations (*2/*2,*2/*3,*3/*3) on both alleles,

about5%to30%ofpatientpopulations.Mostpatients,however,haveanormalCYP2C19genewithout

(*1/*2,*1/*3),whoarereferred toas intermediatemetabolizers (IMs).EMsandIMscomprise 35% to
50%and18%to45%ofagivenpopulation,respectively.

Box7.2 PharmacogenomicsandtheStarAlleleNomenclature:ABriefOverview
Pharmacogenomics uses a special nomenclature to identify alleles rather than by their cDNA or
genomicpositions(asinotherareasofgenetics).Forpharmacogenomics,variantsareidentifiedusing
a simple system of numbers and letters divided by a star. Consider the following as an example:
CYP3A5*2. This common example is pronounced or spoken as “sip-3-A-5-star-2.” Itrefers to the
alleleorvariantintheCYP3A5genelocatedatpositiong.27289C>A,whichleadstothesubstitutionin
theaminoacidp.T398N.Thestar nomenclature wasfirstused toidentify variationsintheCYP450
genesandthenwasadoptedforuseinotherpharmacogenomicgenes.
From a clinical perspective, the CYP450 genetic variations are particularly interesting as they
signifyfourdifferentphenotypicstatesofdrugmetabolism:
•AnURM
•AnEM
•AnIM
•APM
Individuals with two standard copies of the normally functioning allele are called extensive drug
metabolizers.Usingthestarnomenclature,thiswild-typeallelecorrespondsto*1.Anindividualwith
double or multiple copies of an allele, called an ultrarapid metabolizer, typically has increased
functionality.Ontheotherhand,personsconsideredintermediateorpoordrugmetabolizershaveone

GeneticTestingtoPredictDrugEfficacyandAdverseResponse
The active metabolite of clopidogrel dictates its therapeutic efficacy. Therefore, the degree to which
patients are capable of effectively producing these active metabolites through their liver CYP2C19

enzymes is directly linked to their treatment success and recovery from an ACS. In the case of
clopidogrel,thePMsarethosewhocouldbenefitthemostfromgenetictestingpriortotherapy,asstated
onpackageinsertsandassuggestedbytheU.S.FoodandDrugAdministration(FDA).ThesePMsare
incapableofproducingtheactivemetaboliteofclopidogrel,duetoinactivatingmutationsinCYP2C19
liverenzymeresponsibletoconvertclopidogreltoitsactivemetabolite.IfaPMpatientsuddenlysuffers
acoronaryblockageandisadministeredclopidogrel,thiswouldresultinanunsuccessfultreatmentofthe
patient’s coronary blockage. The Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium also
recommendsthatspecialattentionbegiventoURMsandthatalternativetherapiesbeusedinPMstotreat
their coronary obstruction (Scott et al., 2011). In addition, IMs are also challenging to treat with
clopidogrel, as thesepatients havea highernumberof residual platelets,whichcouldlead to adverse
cardiovascularoutcomes(Shirasakaetal.,2015),andmightalsobenefitfromotherformsoftherapy.
For patients receivingwarfarintreatment,genetictestingis recommendedinorder topredictwhich
patients are carrying these mutations who would be at higher risk for bleeding (Maluso, 2015). For
example,thosewhocarrytheVKORC1mutation–1639G>AproducelessVKORC1(referredtoasA

In theory, hearing loss associated with possible mitochondrial mutations inherited by the mother

PROMISES,PITFALLS,ANDPOLICYIMPLICATIONS
In addition to pharmacogenomics, progress is being made with newer technologies such as next
generation sequencing, including whole genome sequencing (WGS), exome sequencing, and targeted
ribonucleic acid (RNA) sequencing,as well as CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing. One new trendthat is
