VSPGx is part of VarSeq Suite, licensed for Research Use Only. Intended for laboratory-developed test (LDT) development, method validation, and internal research workflows. Customers are responsible for clinical validation and regulatory compliance of any test built using VSPGx. Regulatory details.

Build CPIC-Aligned PGx Workflows

VSPGx automates the translation of genotypes into star allele nomenclature and CPIC metabolizer phenotypes, providing labs with a reproducible pathway from raw data to PGx reports.

Star Allele Calling

Automate the mapping of SNVs, indels, and structural variants to standardized star allele nomenclature. Support for complex genes like CYP2D6, including copy number events.

Guideline Integration

Native integration with CPIC and FDA guidelines. Automatically map diplotypes to phenotypes and surface evidence-based prescribing recommendations.

Report Generation

Generate laboratory-branded PGx reports surfacing current medications, gene-drug interactions, and CPIC dosing guidance for review by qualified laboratory personnel.

The VSPGx Workflow

Our structured algorithm ensures reproducible results across any genomic dataset, from targeted panels to whole genomes.

3
Steps to Reproducible PGx Results
1

Named Allele Identification

Identify variants at CPIC-specified positions and map them to standardized star allele nomenclature (e.g., CYP2C19 *2, *17).

2

Diplotype & Phenotype Assignment

Pair identified alleles per gene to assign diplotypes. Calculate activity scores and map to metabolizer phenotypes (e.g., Poor, Normal, Ultra-Rapid).

3

CPIC Recommendation Lookup

Match phenotypes to published CPIC and FDA guidance. Filter results by current medications to surface relevant recommendations for review.

Broad Assay & Gene Support

VSPGx is designed for assay flexibility, supporting any data source that provides genotype calls. No specialized PGx-only sequencing is required.

NGS & Microarray Compatibility

Process VCF inputs from targeted gene panels, clinical exomes, and whole genomes, as well as microarray-derived genotypes.

Complex SV Handling

Incorporate copy-number events (e.g., CYP2D6 *1xN duplications or *5 deletions) directly into phenotype determination.

High-Throughput Automation

Scale your PGx operations with VSPipeline and VSWarehouse integration, enabling end-to-end automated pipelines from raw data to report.

Key Gene Highlights

CYP2D6
Opioids & Antidepressants

CYP2D6 metabolizes many opioids, antidepressants, and antiemetics. CPIC publishes Level A guidance for codeine, tramadol, ondansetron, and several SSRIs based on metabolizer phenotype.

CYP2C19
Cardiovascular

CYP2C19 drives clopidogrel activation. CPIC publishes Level A guidance linking diplotype to therapeutic response in cardiovascular care.

SLCO1B1
Statins

SLCO1B1 variants affect statin transport. CPIC publishes Level A guidance for statin dosing and selection based on transporter function.
