Clinical Significance
Genetics can play a significant role in the selection of
certain medications. For instance, individuals may
metabolize medications too fast or too slow. This test
analyzes genes of known pharmacogenomic value allowing
clinicians to gain valuable insight into an individual's
response to and adverse effects from medications with known
gene-drug interactions.
