Popis: ABSTRACT Background This systematic review aims to highlight the scope of pharmacogenomics research within global Indigenous populations. This review also explores the barriers and facilitators of pharmacogenomics research within this population. Methodology A systematic review of literature was conducted to identify and present an understanding of current empirical evidence demonstrating the conduct of genomics or pharmacogenomics research within global Indigenous populations (PROSPERO registration: CRD42021257226). Using key search terms, relevant databases were searched for articles published between January 2010 and July 2022. Screening, data extraction, and analysis was conducted using well‐defined inclusion criteria. Quality assessment and risk of bias appraisal was conducted using the mixed methods appraisal tool. Indigenous community engagement and participation in genomics research was assessed using the social‐ecological framework. Results From the 427 articles identified, 77 articles met inclusion criteria and underwent full‐text screening. Of these, 30 articles were included in the final review, with 16 being quantitative and 14 either qualitative or mixed methods studies. Most studies were conducted with native Indigenous populations from the United States of America (36%). Content analysis revealed that studies either explored genetic variations associated with disease in Indigenous populations (23%) or markers for drug metabolism (30%) or were designed to understand perspectives of genomics research within this population (47%). Perspectives included the exploration of the role of participants in research, benefits or outcomes achieved from participation in genomics research, and levels of Indigenous engagement and participation in genomics research. Conclusions This review highlights a growing gap in Indigenous genomics research globally. It presents several important considerations from Indigenous participants, identifying how researchers can co‐create culturally safe and inclusive design, implementation, analysis, and subsequent outcomes of genomics research involving Indigenous people. Indigenous governance, self‐determination and leadership is essential, with researchers required to be responsive to such fundamental partnerships for research to progress.
