What is genetic testing?
Genetic testing finds differences in genes that are related to your health. There are many different genetic tests. Genetic tests look for changes in your genetic makeup (DNA) that are linked to certain conditions, physical traits, disease risk and/or how you respond to certain medications.
What type of genetic test is this?
The type of genetic testing we’re offering is a pharmacogenomic test. Pharmacogenomics, or PGx, determines how you respond based on your unique DNA
Will this testing help treat a specific health condition?
The PGx test offered in this program analyzes genes that are related to how your body processes certain medications commonly prescribed by medical professionals. The test does not give information about how to treat any specific health conditions.
Will this test disclose my risk for any diseases?
The genes on this test are only related to drug response and do not tell you anything about your risk for any diseases. Please talk with your doctor about other tests for disease risk.
How long does the test take?
From the time we receive your swab sample, your test results will take up to two weeks to be returned to you with a full color coded easy to read report. Then you can consult with your doctor and have your results entered as a part of your medical record.
