RosaMind is a pharmacogenomic platform that analyses patient DNA to determine how they metabolise medications commonly prescribed for mental health conditions. It provides clinical guidelines, based on recommendations from the Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC®), on which medications and dosages are most suitable, helping to improve patient outcomes and reduce trial-and-error.  

Gene S testing can be ordered directly through your clinic. Please contact us for more details about your local genetic laboratory offering RosaMind.  

We recommend collecting a cheek swab. The test is also compatible with saliva or blood samples if this is preferred. The patient does not need to be fasting.  

The report offers evidence-based prescribing guidance, tailored to your patient’s genetic profile, outlining the expected efficacy and side-effect risks of mental health medications under consideration. 

No. RosaMind is ethnically agnostic and can be used for patients of all ethnicities.  

No. RosaMind can be used for patients of all ages and provides Adult as well as Paediatric Clinical Guidelines.  

RosaMind currently tests the following genes:  

CYP2B6 

CYP2C9 

CYP2C19 

CYP2D6 

CYP3A4 

EPM2A 

HLA-A 

HLA-B 

RosaMind provides clinical guidelines only for those medications with the highest level of evidence (CPIC – Level1 and 2) providing maximum clinical utility and confidence:  

Amitriptyline, Doxepin, Paroxetine, Aripiprazole, Escitalopram, Quetiapine, Atomoxetine, Fluvoxamine, Risperidone, Carbamazepine, Haloperidol, Sertraline Citalopram, Imipramine, Trimipramine, Clomipramine, Lamotrigine, Venlafaxine, Desipramine, Nortriptyline, Zuclopenthixol. 

RosaMind does not test for pre-existing or future health conditions. It only analyses the genes and the gene changes (variants) relevant to medication metabolism.  

No. Taking medication at the time of testing does not impact results.  

A secure, personalised report is delivered electronically via the genetic laboratory performing the Gene S test.  

Samples can be processed within 2-3 days. Standard laboratory turnaround, including lab workflows, is approximately 10 working days.    

No. The cost of testing is paid by the patient. There are several private insurance companies that are subsidising pharmacogenomics for mental health medications.  

Yes. All results are confidential and securely stored.
