Description
GENE-Rx™ genetic test provides insight into the way a patient metabolises, transports and binds certain prescription medication. This means that physicians will be able to identify individuals at risk of experiencing treatment failure and adverse side effects from treatment based on their genetic makeup.

Composition: Test kit, with mouth swab.
Suggested Use: The ultimate goal is personalised medicine identifying genetic biomarkers affecting drug response to better guide drug therapy decisions for an individual. This will significantly improve treatment of disease.
Currently, most doctors base their drug prescription on symptoms and factors such as the patient’s age, weight, gender and organ functionality. However, for a large subset of drugs, genetic variations have been identified and research is available that indicates how a person with these genetic variations is likely to respond to these drugs.
The benefits of this personalised approach for patients are:
- Decreases the length of treatment time
- Minimises a trial-and-error approach in finding an effective drug therapy
- Limits the effects of disease through early detection
- Minimises side effects
- Cost saving
The benefits for physicians are:
- Streamline clinical decision making, by knowing in advance which patients are likely to benefit from a given treatment
- Lower unnecessary costs
- Lowers risk of side effects
