Pharmacogenetic Testing Process 21
A genetic sample is
collected either via buccal
swab or a blood sample
The clinician sends the sample
to a reference laboratory that
will sequence the DNA and
characterize the genetic
variations of the patient
The reference laboratory
sends a comprehensive
pharmacogenetic testing
report to the clinician for
the patient

Opioid Use Disorder (OUD)
According to the DSM-V, opioid
use disorder (OUD) is defined as
“a problematic pattern of
opioid use leading to clinically-
significant impairment or
distress” characterized by the
presence of at least two of the
following criteria over a 12-
month period.
24
Severe
(6 or more symptoms)
Moderate
(4 – 5 symptoms)
Mild
(2 – 3 symptoms)
OUD Diagnostic Criteria
1. Using larger amounts of opioids or over a longer period than was intended
2. Persistent desire to cut down or unsuccessful efforts to control use
3. Great deal of time spent obtaining, using, or recovering from use
4. Craving, or a strong desire or urge to use substance
5. Failure to fulfill major role obligations at work, school, or home due to recurrent opioid use
6. Continued use despite recurrent or persistent social or interpersonal problems caused or
exacerbated by opioid use
7. Giving up or reducing social, occupational, or recreational activities due to opioid use
8. Recurrent opioid use in physically hazardous situations
9. Continued opioid use despite physical or psychological problems caused or exacerbated
by its use
10. Tolerance (marked increase in amount; marked decrease in effect)
11. Withdrawal syndrome as manifested by cessation of opioids or use of opioids (or a closely
related substance) to relieve or avoid withdrawal symptoms.
25
Opioid Use Disorder (OUD)
Management
Several organizations involved in
OUD treatment recommend a
combination of pharmacological
measures, such as medication-
assisted treatment (MAT), and
psychosocial approaches, such
as recovery support groups, to
reduce both illicit opioid use and
harm related to opioid use while
improving quality of life

Testing in a Patient with OUD
Patient is an African-American male over the age of 50 and is
receiving buprenorphine as MAT for OUD management from a clinic
in the Washington DC/Maryland/Virginia area
Married, employed, stable home, history of Hepatitis C viral (HCV)
infection, HIV-negative
He consented to clinical pharmacogenetic testing within the regular
course of treatment
