What Is Pharmacogenomics (PGx)?
Pharmacogenomics, otherwise abbreviated as PGx, is the study of how your genes influence your response to medication. Just as everyone’s DNA is unique, so is the way we process medications or drugs.
By analyzing your genetic makeup, PGx helps predict which medications will be most effective, which may cause side effects, and what dosages suit you best — reducing trial and error for safer, more personalized treatments.
What's the difference?
Pre-emptive vs. Reactive Pharmacogenomics
| CHARACTERISTICS | PRE-EMPTIVE PHARMACOGENOMICS | REACTIVE PHARMACOGENOMICS |
|---|---|---|
|
TIMING |
Done before prescribing medication. |
Done after an adverse reaction or treatment failure. |
|
APPROACH |
PROACTIVE – helps doctors select the safest, most effective medication upfront, reducing side effects. |
REACTIVE – testing is only done in response to medication issues. |
|
EXAMPLE |
A patient scheduled for long-term medication (e.g., for high blood pressure) undergoes testing to ensure the best drug choice. |
A patient suffers severe side effects from a painkiller. Testing later reveals poor drug metabolism, prompting a prescription change. |
|
BENEFIT /LIMITATION |
BENEFIT: Reduces trial and error, enhances treatment success. |
LIMITATION: The patient experiences adverse (negative) effects before adjustments are made. |
Why Pharmacogenomics?
Unlocking Safer, More Effective Medications With Pharmacogenomics
Adverse drug reactions remain a major global concern, but pharmacogenomics offers a groundbreaking solution. By understanding how your genes influence drug response, we can reduce trial-and-error prescribing and improve treatment outcomes. Here’s why pharmacogenomics testing matters;
- Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) are the 6ᵗʰ leading cause of death worldwide ¹ ².
- 99.5% of individuals have at least 1 gene variant that affects drug response, requiring dosage adjustments ⁸.
- Pharmacogenomics accounts for ~80% of gene variability linked to drug safety and effectiveness ³.
- The FDA has issued pharmacogenomic-related warnings for drugs like Codeine Sulfate, Clopidogrel and Rasburicase ⁴ ⁵.
- About 70% of physicians adjust medications or dosages using pharmacogenomics testing to reduce ADRs ⁶.
- Pharmacogenomics testing has been proven to significantly reduce ADRs and medication side effects ⁷.

How does it work?
How Pharmacogenomics Works
Your body processes medications through Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, and Excretion (ADME). These steps determine how well a drug works and whether you might experience side effects.
Pharmacogenomics analyzes your DNA to see how fast or slow your body breaks down medications. Based on your genes, you may be;
Poor
Metabolizer
Your body processes the drug too slowly, increasing the risk of side effects.
Intermediate
Metabolizer
You process drugs slightly slower, so adjustments may be needed.
Normal
Metabolizer
You break down drugs at the expected rate, so standard doses usually work well.
Rapid or Ultra-Rapid Metabolizer
Your body breaks down the drug too quickly, making it less effective.
Knowing your metabolizer type helps doctors choose the right medication and dosage for you, reducing side effects and guesswork.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between DNA testing and Pharmacogenomics?
DNA testing, or genetic testing, comes in many forms, including tests for ancestry, relationships, inherited diseases, cancer risks, and medical diagnoses. These tests analyze your genes, chromosomes, or proteins to detect genetic conditions, assess disease risk, or determine hereditary traits.
Pharmacogenomics (PGx), on the other hand, focuses specifically on how your genes affect your response to medications. It helps healthcare professionals personalize treatment plans, optimize drug selection and dosage, and reduce the risk of adverse drug reactions (ADRs).
While genetic testing can help identify potential health risks, PRECISE Pharmacogenomics (PGx) ensures that your medications are tailored specifically for you—enhancing safety and treatment effectiveness.
Is PRECISE Pharmacogenomics reliable?
Yes. PRECISE Pharmacogenomics (PGx) provides comprehensive genome-wide coverage, analyzing nearly 100,000 ADME markers and over 1,000 genes, covering more than 500 commonly used medications, including:
- Painkillers
- Antibiotics
- Diabetes medications
- Heart disease treatments
- Cancer therapies
Awarded as “The First Clinical Recommended Genome-Wide Pharmacogenomics” by the Malaysia Book of Records (MBR), only certified healthcare professionals can interpret the report and provide clinical recommendations, diagnoses, and treatment plans. However, this report does not replace a medical consultation with your doctor.

Who should consider getting a PRECISE Pharmacogenomics test?
Pharmacogenomics testing is beneficial for anyone who takes medications or wants a personalized approach to treatment. It is especially recommended for:
- Individuals on long-term medications (e.g., hypertension, diabetes, mental health conditions)
- Those with a history of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) or medication side effects
- Patients undergoing chemotherapy or chronic disease treatments
- Individuals who want to optimize medication effectiveness and safety
Can children or elederly individuals take the PRECISE Pharmacogenomics test?
Yes! Pharmacogenomics testing is suitable for all ages and can be especially beneficial for:
- Children – Helps identify potential drug responses early, ensuring safer and more effective treatments as they grow.
- Elderly individuals – Reduces the risk of adverse drug reactions and ensures medications are tailored for safer use.
While a child’s genetic profile remains the same for life, medication dosages may need adjustments as they grow.
Does my pharmacogenomics result change over time?
No. Your genetic makeup does not change over time, meaning your pharmacogenomics results remain valid for life. However, as new medications and research emerge, updates may be available to enhance treatment recommendations.
