What is「pharmacogenetic」testing？
- A gene is a “specification” of DNA sequences that carry genetic information passed down from parent to child. This specification helps us understand the risk of disease, unique physical condition, and more importantly, whether you are suitable for a drug, have allergies, need to adjust the dose, and other important information about taking medication.
- Therefore, pharmacogenetic test results can provide physicians with more reference information to help them give patients the most appropriate medications and doses.
