Low-cost generation of clinical-grade, layperson-friendly pharmacogenetic passports using oligonucleotide arrays.
Article in American journal of human genetics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Pharmacogenomic (PGx) information is essential for precision medicine, enabling drug prescriptions to be personalized according to an individual's genetic background. Almost all individuals will carry a genetic marker that affects their drug response, so the ideal drug prescription for these individuals will differ from the population-level guidelines. Currently, PGx information is often not available at first prescription, reducing its effectiveness. In the Netherlands, pharmacogenetic information is most often obtained using dedicated single-gene assays, making it expensive and time consuming to generate complete multi-gene PGx profiles. We therefore hypothesized that we could also use genome-wide oligonucleotide genotyping arrays to generate comprehensive PGx information (PGx passports), thereby decreasing the cost and time required for PGx testing and lowering the barrier to generating PGx information prior to first prescription. Taking advantage of existing genetic data generated in two biobanks, we developed and validated Asterix, a low-cost, clinical-grade PGx passport pipeline for 12 PGx genes. In these biobanks, we performed and clinically validated genetic variant calling and statistical phasing and imputation. In addition, we developed and validated a CYP2D6 copy-number-variant-calling tool, forgoing the need to use separate PCR-based copy-number detection. Ultimately, we returned 1,227 PGx passports to biobank participants via a layperson-friendly app, improving knowledge of PGx among citizens. Our study demonstrates the feasibility of a low-cost, clinical-grade PGx passport pipeline that could be readily implemented in clinical settings to enhance personalized healthcare, ensuring that patients receive the most effective and safe drug therapy based on their unique genetic makeup.
