Pharmacogenomics (PGx) Proton Pump Inhibitors CYP2C19 Test

A targeted pharmacogenomic test evaluating CYP2C19 metabolizer status to optimize proton pump inhibitor prescription and dosing, powered by the Helix Exome+® platform.

Turnaround

6-9 days

Turnaround Requery

≤ 5 minutes

Test Description

Proton pump inhibitors are prescribed to patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcer disease and other conditions related to dysfunctional gastric acid secretion. Certain CYP2C19 metabolizer types may reduce efficacy of PPIs, while others may lead to increased risk for adverse events.

Patients for whom omeprazole, lansoprazole, pantoprazole, and dexlansoprazole are being considered, have been ineffective or caused side effects.

Indications for Testing

Patients for whom omeprazole, lansoprazole, pantoprazole, and dexlansoprazole are being considered, have been ineffective or caused side effects.

Methodology

This test utilizes next-generation sequencing to determine star alleles and metabolizer status for CYP2C19 and is used to determine drug considerations for omeprazole, lansoprazole, pantoprazole, and dexlansoprazole.
