VarSeq Suite: Pharmacogenomics

Pharmaco­genomics — Star Allele Calling

The VSPGx module provides precise star allele calling, CPIC/FDA-guided drug–gene interaction interpretation, and comprehensive clinical reporting for precision dosing and ADR reduction.

CPIC Aligned
NGS & Microarray Support

Turn Genomic Data into Actionable Guidance

VSPGx automates the translation of genotypes into star allele nomenclature and clinical phenotypes, providing labs with a validated pathway to pharmacogenomic reporting.

Star Allele Calling

Automate the mapping of SNVs, indels, and structural variants to standardized star allele nomenclature. Support for complex genes like CYP2D6, including copy number events.

Guideline Integration

Native integration with CPIC and FDA guidelines. Automatically map diplotypes to phenotypes and surface evidence-based prescribing recommendations.

Clinical Reporting

Generate laboratory-branded PGx reports including current medications, major gene-drug interactions, and drug-specific dosing guidance in an oncologist-ready format.

The VSPGx Workflow

Our structured algorithm ensures reproducible results across any genomic dataset, from targeted panels to whole genomes.

3
Steps to Clinical Insight
1

Named Allele Identification

Identify variants at CPIC-specified positions and map them to standardized star allele nomenclature (e.g., CYP2C19 *2, *17).

2

Diplotype & Phenotype Assignment

Pair identified alleles per gene to assign diplotypes. Calculate activity scores and map to metabolizer phenotypes (e.g., Poor, Normal, Ultra-Rapid).

3

Clinical Recommendation Matching

Automatically match phenotypes to CPIC and FDA prescribing recommendations. Filter guidance based on patient-specific medications.

Broad Assay & Gene Support

VSPGx is designed for clinical flexibility, supporting any assay type that provides genotype data. No specialized PGx-only sequencing is required.

NGS & Microarray Compatibility

Process VCF inputs from targeted gene panels, clinical exomes, and whole genomes, as well as microarray-derived genotypes.

Complex SV Handling

Incorporate copy-number events (e.g., CYP2D6 *1xN duplications or *5 deletions) directly into phenotype determination.

High-Throughput Automation

Scale your PGx operations with VSPipeline and VSWarehouse integration, enabling end-to-end automated pipelines from raw data to report.

Key Gene Highlights

CYP2D6
Pain Management

Precision dosing for opioids like codeine and tramadol. Avoid toxicity in Ultra-Rapid metabolizers and sub-therapeutic response in Poor metabolizers.

CYP2C19
Cardiovascular

Clopidogrel (Plavix) therapy guidance. Identify patients with reduced activation risk to prevent thrombotic events.

SLCO1B1
Statins

Reduce the risk of statin-induced myopathy through genotype-informed dosing and alternative medication selection.
