Introduction to Pharmacogenomics (PGx) for Patients
70% of medications are ineffective or cause side effects. This is because more than 99% of us have a change in our DNA which affects how we metabolise medications. This is called pharmacogenomics (PGx).
Why Gene S Testing Matters
Personalised Medication
PGx testing provides a personalised approach to medication management. Analysing a patient’s genetic makeup can help healthcare providers identify which medications are most likely to be effective with the lowest associated adverse drug reactions.
Potential Healthcare Savings
The predicted healthcare savings from implementing PGx testing in Australia, just by reducing adverse side effects, is estimated to exceed $1 billion.
How Gene S Works for Patients
Clinician requests a blood/saliva/cheek swab to be collected from the patient. Local genetic pathology laboratory processes the sample using the Gene S PGx genetic test and analytics & reporting software solution. Requesting healthcare professional receives the Gene S PGx report.
