    Characterization of Reference Materials for CYP3A4 and CYP3A5: A GeT-RM Collaborative Project
    (Elsevier, 2023) Gaedigk, Andrea; Boone, Erin C.; Turner, Amy J.; van Schaik, Ron H.N.; Cheranova, Dilyara; Wang, Wendy Y.; Broeckel, Ulrich; Granfield, Caitlin A.; Hodge, Jennelle C.; Ly, Reynold C.; Lynnes, Ty C.; Mitchell, Matthew W.; Moyer, Ann M.; Oliva, Jason; Kalman, Lisa V.; Medical and Molecular Genetics, School of Medicine
    Pharmacogenetic testing for CYP3A4 is increasingly provided by clinical and research laboratories; however, only a limited number of quality control and reference materials are currently available for many of the CYP3A4 variants included in clinical tests. To address this need, the Division of Laboratory Systems, CDC-based Genetic Testing Reference Material Coordination Program (GeT-RM), in collaboration with members of the pharmacogenetic testing and research communities and the Coriell Institute for Medical Research, has characterized 30 DNA samples derived from Coriell cell lines for CYP3A4. Samples were distributed to five volunteer laboratories for genotyping using a variety of commercially available and laboratory-developed tests. Sanger and next-generation sequencing were also utilized by some of the laboratories. Whole-genome sequencing data from the 1000 Genomes Projects were utilized to inform genotype. Twenty CYP3A4 alleles were identified in the 30 samples characterized for CYP3A4: CYP3A4∗4, ∗5, ∗6, ∗7, ∗8, ∗9, ∗10, ∗11, ∗12, ∗15, ∗16, ∗18, ∗19, ∗20, ∗21, ∗22, ∗23, ∗24, ∗35, and a novel allele, CYP3A4∗38. Nineteen additional samples with preexisting data for CYP3A4 or CYP3A5 were re-analyzed to generate comprehensive reference material panels for these genes. These publicly available and well-characterized materials can be used to support the quality assurance and quality control programs of clinical laboratories performing clinical pharmacogenetic testing.

    Characterization of Reference Materials for TPMT and NUDT15: A GeT-RM Collaborative Project
    (Elsevier, 2022-10) Pratt, Victoria M.; Wang, Wendy Y.; Boone, Erin C.; Broeckel, Ulrich; Cody, Neal; Edelmann, Lisa; Gaedigk , Andrea; Lynnes, Ty C.; Medeiros, Elizabeth B.; Moyer, Ann M.; Mitchell, Matthew W.; Scott, Stuart A.; Starostik, Petr; Turner, Amy; Kalman, Lisa V.; Medical and Molecular Genetics, School of Medicine
    Pharmacogenetic testing is increasingly provided by clinical and research laboratories; however, only a limited number of quality control and reference materials are currently available for many of the TPMT and NUDT15 variants included in clinical tests. To address this need, the Division of Laboratory Systems, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention–based Genetic Testing Reference Material (GeT-RM) coordination program, in collaboration with members of the pharmacogenetic testing and research communities and the Coriell Institute for Medical Research, has characterized 19 DNA samples derived from Coriell cell lines. DNA samples were distributed to four volunteer testing laboratories for genotyping using a variety of commercially available and laboratory developed tests and/or Sanger sequencing. Of the 12 samples characterized for TPMT, newly identified variants include TPMT∗2, ∗6, ∗12, ∗16, ∗21, ∗24, ∗32, ∗33, and ∗40; for the 7 NUDT15 reference material samples, newly identified variants are NUDT15∗2, ∗3, ∗4, ∗5, ∗6, and ∗9. In addition, a novel haplotype, TPMT∗46, was identified in this study. Preexisting data on an additional 11 Coriell samples, as well as some supplemental testing, were used to create comprehensive reference material panels for TPMT and NUDT15. These publicly available and well-characterized materials can be used to support the quality assurance and quality control programs of clinical laboratories performing clinical pharmacogenetic testing.

    CYP2C8, CYP2C9, and CYP2C19 Characterization Using Next-Generation Sequencing and Haplotype Analysis: A GeT-RM Collaborative Project
    (Elsevier, 2022) Gaedigk, Andrea; Boone, Erin C.; Scherer, Steven E.; Lee, Seung-Been; Numanagić, Ibrahim; Sahinalp, Cenk; Smith, Joshua D.; McGee, Sean; Radhakrishnan, Aparna; Qin, Xiang; Wang, Wendy Y.; Farrow, Emily G.; Gonzaludo, Nina; Halpern, Aaron L.; Nickerson, Deborah A.; Miller, Neil A.; Pratt, Victoria M.; Kalman, Lisa V.; Medical and Molecular Genetics, School of Medicine
    Pharmacogenetic tests typically target selected sequence variants to identify haplotypes that are often defined by star (∗) allele nomenclature. Due to their design, these targeted genotyping assays are unable to detect novel variants that may change the function of the gene product and thereby affect phenotype prediction and patient care. In the current study, 137 DNA samples that were previously characterized by the Genetic Testing Reference Material (GeT-RM) program using a variety of targeted genotyping methods were recharacterized using targeted and whole genome sequencing analysis. Sequence data were analyzed using three genotype calling tools to identify star allele diplotypes for CYP2C8, CYP2C9, and CYP2C19. The genotype calls from next-generation sequencing (NGS) correlated well to those previously reported, except when novel alleles were present in a sample. Six novel alleles and 38 novel suballeles were identified in the three genes due to identification of variants not covered by targeted genotyping assays. In addition, several ambiguous genotype calls from a previous study were resolved using the NGS and/or long-read NGS data. Diplotype calls were mostly consistent between the calling algorithms, although several discrepancies were noted. This study highlights the utility of NGS for pharmacogenetic testing and demonstrates that there are many novel alleles that are yet to be discovered, even in highly characterized genes such as CYP2C9 and CYP2C19.
