A subset of these alerts were designed to fire in a “reactive fashion”, i.e. recommending PGx testing in response to all initial prescriptions: TPMT and NUDT15 for thiopurines (mercaptopurine, azathioprine and thioguanine), HLA-B*57:01 for abacavir, HLA-B*15:02 and HLA-A*31:01 for carbamazepine in patients of Asian descent, HLA-B*58:01 for allopurinol in patients of Asian or African decent and CYP2D6 for tamoxifen. This was done to avoid physician “alert fatigue” that might have occurred if all of the alerts had been reactive. All other alerts currently fire only for patients who already have PGx information in the EHR. Between March 2015 and December 2018 these alerts fired a total of 6620 times. No comparable data are available after December 2018 because of Mayo Clinic’s implementation of a new EHR.

b

NUDT15 added in 2018 and assayed by genotyping.

c

HLA-A*31:01 added in 2018.
