Death of 13-Day-Old
Full-term Healthy Baby Boy
Based on a true story, how a Pharmacogenomics test could have prevented a tragedy. A preventable death of a 13-day-old baby as reported by Koren G. et al. in 2006. The baby died due to a high concentration of morphine from the breast milk. The mom was unaware her DNA (Ultra rapid metaboliser) would convert the codeine-based painkiller medicine into an overly high morphine level in her blood and eventually pass through the breast milk to the baby.¹

Dr Balachandran Krishnan16 May 2024 Fatih Eren Masalci29 April 2024 I did the PRECISE Pharmacogenomics test for me initially. After consulting with their amazing staff, I felt encouraged to get it for my family. At the time, there was an offer for PRECISE Nutrigenomics free with Pharmacogenomics test which was good. The report was useful and available for my use. Highly recommend for people like me, who take a lot of medicine, should do this.... Hannah CPH26 April 2024 Did a phamacogenomics test on my DNA, beacon consultant explained it well and details, they help me understand my DNA and make sure I understand every single line from the reports! very good services.Google rating score: 4.9 of 5, based on 15 reviews
