Genes in Focus
The Biobank is returning results for 7 pharmacogenetic (PGx) genes: CYP2C19, SLCO1B1, DPYD, CYP2C9, TPMT, NUDT15, and ABCG2.
Pharmacogenetic Results
Results that may predict response to medications. Information for healthcare professionals.
Overview of Pharmacogenetic Return of Results
Pharmacogenetics (PGx) is the use of genetic information to help guide drug selection and dosing.
The Colorado Center for Personalized Medicine is enrolling participants in a research Biobank, primarily focused on genetics.
Biobank participants may give permission to return available genetic test results, including select, clinically-actionable PGx test results to their UCHealth electronic health record (EHR).
Prerequisites for Return
In order for results to be available to providers, a Biobank participant must have a blood or saliva sample collected and processed and sign appropriate consent for return.Scroll down to see FAQs

Pharmacogenetic Tip Sheets
Patients who have been genotyped by the Colorado Center for Personalized Medicine (CCPM) Biobank laboratory and consented to receive results may receive results if they are available. For pharmacogenetic results, participants will be notified via UCHealth's MyHealthConnection patient portal. The date that these results file into the EHR is the date that the sample was initially collected, which may be several years before notification that results are now available. If you or your patient is having a hard time finding their results, please scroll back several years in the EHR to identify these results.
No. Patients who have been genotyped through the Colorado Center for Personalized Medicine (CCPM) Biobank laboratory will have results placed directly into the UCHealth EHR. Patients will be notified of these results through UCHealth's MyHealthConnection patient portal. CCPM has embedded clinical decision support tools into UCHealth’s EHR to notify clinicians of gene-drug interactions at the time of prescribing.
