Pharmacogenetics (panel testing)

Product Code: PHARMACO[PANEL]-25

From £455.00

Registration closed: 28/02/2025

Applicable to all labs undertaking panel based molecular testing of pharmacogenetic markers for drug response and efficacy.

Target/Genes:

A panel of clinically relevant variants in the CYP2B6, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP3A5, DPYD, fVl, HLA-B, SLCO1B1, TPMT, UGT1A1 and VKORC1 genes. CYP3A4 and NUDT15 are also included. If you undertake testing restricted to DYPD, or UGT1A1, then we also have a standalone EQA scheme for these pharmacogenetics markers. 

Technology:

Any molecular test, CNV, MLPA, NGS, Panel testing, PCR based, Sanger sequencing, Single gene testing, Targeted testing, Whole exome sequencing

Language:

English, German

Sample Type:

DNA (in TE Buffer)

Accredited:

Yes

EQA Assessment

The scheme is designed to assess the analytical process (genotyping), and reporting (biological and clinical interpretation of the test result) including the overall report layout, content and clerical accuracy. 

Sample Details

Three mock clinical cases with matching samples will be provided. Approximately 3-4µg DNA per sample is provided. Complete information will be available in the scheme instructions.

PLEASE NOTE: In previous years we have guaranteed at least one DPYD relevant clinical case scenario. Due to the provision of the new pilot DPYD and UGT1A1 EQA scheme, this will no longer be the case.

EQA Results

Participants will receive an individual report including educational advice and a scheme report which includes additional information from the cohort of participants including geographical spread, methodologies employed, common errors, learning points and scheme statistics allowing participants to benchmark their results.

Each laboratory will also receive a single certificate listing all EQAs participated in with performance result for each year.

Participation Information

No restrictions on number of participants. Open to laboratories from ALL countries (note: some restrictions may apply*)

*Sanctions, delivery network exceptions, restrictions on importation etc.
