摘要

Pharmacogenomics (PGx) is a key component of precision medicine, yet most PGx studies exclude pregnant people and children. The VICE (Vanderbilt Integrated Center of Excellence)-MPRINT (Maternal and Pediatric Precision in Therapeutics): Maternal and Pediatric Pharmacogenetics Trial is a single-center, randomized control trial to assess how PGx testing and return of results influence patients’ understanding and perceived utility of PGx testing in a pregnancy and pediatric cohort. Pregnant individuals and families or guardians of children with a chronic health condition aged 0–16 were recruited. We assessed participants’ knowledge and attitudes regarding PGx testing at baseline and after receiving results with patient-friendly interpretations. Cases received an educational video about PGx testing with return of results. Controls received PGx test results alone. We aimed to determine perspectives regarding PGx in these understudied populations with the goal of promoting research and clinical implementation of PGx for pregnant women and children.
