Pharmacogenomics have long held the promise of using personalized information for drug selection to maximize efficacy and minimize adverse reactions. A new study evaluates the routine use of pharmacogenomic testing to improve safety in a wide range of medications. Join host, Geoff Wall, as he evaluates personalized medicine.
The GameChanger
Most studies using routine pharmacogenomic testing in clinical practice have not been significant. However, a new study found a 12 panel pharmacogenomic test did decrease the incidence of patient reported adverse effects compared to usual care. Several limitations still exist preventing widespread implementation.
