DOIAbstract
Surveys among pharmacists and physicians show that these healthcare professionals have successfully adopted the concept of pharmacogenomics (PGx).(1-3) In addition, patients are willing to consent to participate in PGx implementation studies.(4) However, the surveys also show that healthcare professionals do not frequently order or recommend a PGx test.(1,2) Among others, a frequently perceived hurdle for clinical uptake of PGx is the availability of guidelines translating PGx test results into clinical actions for individual patients.(5,6)</p
