Abstract

Introduction: With the sequencing of the human genome and the subsequent revelation of the genetic structures underlying many complex illnesses and responses to many treatments, precision medicine has emerged as a new player in the healthcare setting. We aimed to assess the Impact of pharmacogenomics testing on response to Antidepressants and Antipsychotics. Methods: Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were used in this systematic review. This systematic review identified PubMed, PMC, and Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), Supplementation of the available articles for the review was done using Google Scholar and Research Gate. Results: Ten study articles were included after analyzing 12408 papers. These studies were gathered by searching through Mesh advanced search strategy and regular keywords with Boolean search strategy through multiple databases. The next step was screening the titles, and abstracts and only 166 papers passed through the full-text screening according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The quality of the included 166 studies was assessed using the Cochrane risk of bias tool for randomized trials. Finally, ten studies resulted from the qualitative synthesis and were included in this systematic review. Conclusion: combinatorial pharmacogenomics testing has the potential to be a useful tool in directing the treatment of depression in different age cohorts. In addition, it has a role in response improvement among patients with previous antidepressant failure.
