Research shows a significant percentage of patients possess genetic variants that impact therapeutic response, leading to a lack of treatment efficacy or treatment-related toxicity. Establishing a patient’s genetic profile through pharmacogenomic testing allows physicians to individualize treatment by selecting medications that optimize therapeutic efficacy while avoiding harmful drug reactions.
Our psychotropic and focused pharmacogenomic panels examine dozens of alleles on multiple genes to assess for known drug phenotype associations and identify variations associated with treatment response.

Ann Moyer, M.D., Ph.D., explains Mayo Clinic Labs’ new focused pharmacogenomics panel, a real-time, PCR-based testing approach that assesses 10 genes known for their drug-gene associations, to provide guidance on medication selection for patients across a variety of specialities.
