Pharmacogenetic testing studies the response of a drug therapy based on a person´s genetic background. It can play an important role in identifying responders and non-responders to medications, avoiding adverse events, and optimizing drug dose.
Our genetic variability determines the individual responses to medication. Information from the analysis of genes that are involved in drug metabolism can support the decision of a healthcare prescriber to choose the right drug at the right dosage.
Unilabs Genetics has created a PGx test based on clinically actionable genes and targeted variants that are associated with drug metabolism. The panel is regularly updated based on PharmGKB guidelines.
Using this information, clinicians can identify the drug(s) for effective treatment, prescribe the optimal dosage and avoid drugs that may cause adverse events to their patients.
