Medication Efficacy Testing (Pharmacogenetics test) Pregnancy and Pre-Natal Testing Proactive Wellness Testing Cancer and Cardiovascular Disease Screening: Genetic Testing to Pre-screen for Cancer If you have a strong family history of cancer or even just a fear of developing cancer, the cancer scree...
Improved drug response and efficacy: PGx testing can identify genetic variations that impact an individual’s response to specific medications. This means less time failing a medication and coming back in three months, or suffering in silence from a medication side effect and eventually stopping it ...
(NACB) published the first set of laboratory medicine practice guidelines for PGx.2 TheCollege of American Pathologists and other proficiency testing organizations have made testing material available for several enzymes that are involved in the uptake and breakdown of pain medications.4 In addition, ...
Genetic testing has evolved rapidly over recent years [1]. New technologies in genetic testing provide important new information about the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases and are of great value for precision medicine [2,3,4]. Nonetheless, at the time of writing, a range of ba...
With the existence of effective treatment for Paget's disease that could prevent or delay the onset of the disease, we need to explore the acceptability of genetic testing followed by preventative treatment in patients with Paget's disease of bone. Possible factors that could affect acceptability ...
Variability in drug efficacy and adverse effects are observed in clinical practice. While the extent of genetic variability in classic pharmacokinetic genes is rather well understood, the role of genetic variation in drug targets is typically less studie
Rare diseases (RD) affect a small number of people compared to the general population and are mostly genetic in origin. The first clinical signs often appear at birth or in childhood, and patients endure high levels of pain and progressive loss of autono

after careful evaluation of the medication record data. We accounted for multiple testing by using a conservative Bonferroni correction for 46 tests (0.05/46 = 0.001). Finally, we also included in the LDSR analyses BMI, alcohol consumption, and alcohol dependence tested for causal effects on...
[75]. However, these criteria were misleading for patients with multiple schwannomas. In the recent update (2022 consensus), the role of genetic testing was highlighted to discriminate NF2 from schwannomatosis. In this criteria, the “NF2” term was updated to “NF2-related schwannomatosis”,...
