Pharmacogenetics
Pharmacogenetics is the study of how genetic variations affect an individual's response to medications, influencing how effective the drug is and the risk of adverse effects. Our custom pharmacogenetic panel analyzes 174 genetic targets that cover over 200 medications. The best part? You have access to a clinical genetic pharmacist that helps break it all down for you and advocates to your providers on your behalf.
