A simple test using a swab of cells from the inside of your cheek can dramatically improve your medical treatment. The test can predict whether a drug will help, if you need a different dosage, or if you are at risk of severe side effects.[CR-LF][CR-LF]This testing is called pharmacogenetics or pharmacogenomics. This means studying the interactions of drugs (pharma-) and an individual’s genes (genom-). Genes control how drugs are metabolized and may be different in different people. Treatment can be personalized, or individualized for some classes of drugs.[CR-LF][CR-LF]Several companies provide different panels for pharmacogenetic testing. Some are mostly focused on psychiatric drugs, like Myriad Genetics’ (MYGN: Nasdaq) pricey GeneSight test, at $2000. There are the big labs, like LabCorp (NYSE: LH), Quest Diagnostics (NYSE: DGX), Mayo Clinics, and smaller companies which focus only on pharmacogenomics, like Genelex, a private company. In choosing a lab, look at certification, the types of panels of testing that are offered (and whether they include the enzymes metabolizing the drugs you are taking), and the type of explanation they provide you and your physician.
