PHARMACOGENETIC TESTING

Pharmacogenetics (PGx), an important part of precision medicine, is the study of how genetic variability influences drug treatment outcomes. Recommended by Guidelines, many medications currently prescribed have pharmacogenetic data to support appropriate dosing or selection. Like all diagnostic tests, pharmacotherapeutic genotyping is one of multiple pieces of information that clinicians should consider when making their therapeutic choice for each patient.

Our range of pharmacogenetic tests can detect polymorphisms in genes coding for drug-metabolising enzymes that predispose individuals to metabolising drugs inadequately.
