Mass Spectrometry Techniques and Applications

Laboratorians have the opportunity to help minimize the frequency of adverse drug reactions by implementing pharmacogenomic testing and alerting care providers to possible patient/drug incompatibilities before drug treatment is initiated. Methods combining PCR with MALDI-ToF MS have allowed for sensitive, economical, and multiplexed pharmacogenomic testing results to be delivered in a timely fashion.This study evaluated the analytical performance of the Agena Biosciences iPLEX® PGx 74 panel and a custom iPLEX panel on a MassARRAY MALDI-TOF MS instrument in a clinical laboratory setting. Collectively, these panels evaluate 112 SNVs across 34 genes implicated in drug response. Using commercially available samples (Coriell Biorepository) and in-house extracted DNA, we determined ideal reaction conditions and assessed accuracy, precision, and robustness.Following protocol optimization, the Agena PGx74 and custom panels demonstrated 100% concordance with the 1000 Genomes Project Database and clinically validated hydrolysis probe genotyping assays. 100% concordance was also observed in all assessments of assay precision when appropriate QC metrics were applied.Significant development time was required to optimize sample preparation and instrumental analysis and 3 assays were removed due to inconsistent performance. Following modification of the manufacturer's protocol and instituting manual review of each assay plate, the Agena PGx74 and custom panel constitute a cost-effective, robust, and accurate method for clinical identification of 106 SNVs involved in drug response.
