Clinical Pharmacogenetic Testing and Application: 2024 Updated Guidelines by the Korean Society for Laboratory Medicine.

ABSTRACT: In the era of precision medicine, pharmacogenetics has substantial potential for addressing inter-individual variability in drug responses. Although pharmacogenetics has been a research focus for many years, resulting in the establishment of several formal guidelines, its clinical implementation remains limited to several gene-drug combinations in most countries, including Korea. The main causes of delayed implementation are technical challenges in genotyping and knowledge gaps among healthcare providers; therefore, clinical laboratories play a critical role in the timely implementation of pharmacogenetics. This paper presents an update of the Clinical Pharmacogenetic Testing and Application guidelines issued by the Korean Society for Laboratory Medicine and aims to provide the necessary i
