PHARMACOGENOMICS

Medcheck

Pharmacogenomics empowers the doctor to provide specific medical interventions, based on the patient’s genetic profile and replaces the current trial and error approach to drug therapy.

As a worldwide leader in the field of pharmacogenomics, DNAlysis is able to test an individual’s genetics to determine how a patient will respond to medication. How a patient responds to medications is determined by the genes that govern drug metabolism, and pharmacogenomics empowers the doctor to provide specific medical interventions, based on the patient’s genetic profile and replaces the current trial and error approach to drug therapy.

At DNAlife, we test how patients’ genes metabolise, transport, and bind specific prescription drugs; this informs physicians to prescribe personalised regimes of the most effective compounds.

Patients most likely to benefit from Medcheck testing include those:

Experiencing side effects of specific medications
Not responding to specific medications
Requiring doses outside the recommended range
Planning to start on a new medication

SAMPLE REPORT

TEST PAIRING

Leading the way to Advanced Clinical Insight

Laboratory testing is a key tool to accurate diagnosis, and the diagnostic tests that are now available to practitioners – genetic and functional – have the potential to change clinical methods, improve patient outcome, and influence the future of medicine. Whilst the relevant functional test can provide an important glimpse into one’s

functional biochemistry, the availability of accurate DNA testing provides the additional perspective of a structural foundation. Pairing specific tests together can provide an even clearer clinical-insight. This is because functional testing and genetic testing contribute quite different pieces of the clinical jigsaw.
