Subject Line: 36C25618Q0107 -Pharmacogenetic Testing Source Sought Response Background: Overton Brooks VA Medical Center requires the capacity to order pharmacogenetic testing on Veterans who are on polypharmacy or who present with medication resistance or medication sensitivity. These tests will assess for the presence of genetic variants responsible for adverse drug reactions. A recent study completed a retrospective analysis of patients with known metabolic liver enzyme genotypes. They found 1053 potential major or substantial interactions in 501 of 1143 (~44%) individuals. Of these, 66% were drug-drug interactions, 15% were drug-gene interactions, and 19% were drug-drug-gene interactions. This is important because these interactions are closely linked to adverse drug reactions. According to the FDA and Center for Disease Control and Prevention, adverse drug reactions are a major preventable public health problem that cost billions of dollars and affect millions of individuals every year. It is estimated that adverse drug reactions are responsible for approximately 100,000 deaths yearly and are the fourth to sixth leading cause of death in the USA.
