PGx
Pharmacogenetic testing gives medical professionals the ability to choose, dose, and monitor medications based on evidence, which ultimately improves patient care and therapeutic results.
Benefits of PGx
How It Works
In pharmacogenomics, research uncovers non-metabolic genes significantly influencing drug effectiveness and patient response. These non-metabolic genes are uncovered through laboratory analysis of a patient’s sample collected by way of a quick cheek swab.
Healthcare professionals are then able to interpret these genetic variants to tailor treatment plans, pinpointing genetic markers affecting drug response, such as variations in cytochrome P450 enzyme system genes, which alter medication metabolism and toxicity.
TESTING IN YOUR CLINIC
Your healthcare provider collects a DNA sample by gently swabbing the inside of your cheek.
The collected sample is picked up by a local carrier and sent to our specialized laboratory for analysis.
Test results are typically available to your doctor within 10-14 business days.
Your healthcare provider can reach out to our team for a consultation, and then discuss the results with you during your next appointment.
