PRECISE Pharmacogenomics
Unlock the power of genome-wide technology to personalize your medication like never before. With PRECISE Pharmacogenomics, discover how your genetic makeup affects medication response so you can prevent medication side effects (adverse drug reactions), avoid trial-and-errors prescribing and optimize treatment outcomes.
As a pharmacogenomics (PGx) test designed for clinical use, it delivers actionable prescribing recommendations aligned with leading global standards and guideline bodies, including U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC), Dutch Pharmacogenetics Working Group (DPWG), and International Warfarin Pharmacogenetics Consortium (IWPC). It empowers healthcare providers with the latest evidence-based guidance to prescribe safer and most effective treatments tailored to your genetic profile.
- Covers 1,000+ genes & 500+ commonly prescribed medications
- Supports 20+ therapeutic areas, including oncology (cancer), cardiology (heart health), neurology (brain health), psychiatry (mental health), pain management & more
- Clinically accredited with evidence-based recommendations for precision treatment
What Is Pharmacogenomics (PGx)?
Pharmacogenomics, (abbreviated as PGx) is a medication genetic test that studies how your genes affects medication response. 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 may cause side effects, which will be most effective, and what dosages suit you best — preventing trial-and-error for safer and 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 completes PGx testing before they ever need medication, like an “genomics-insurance” plan. If an emergency occurs or they are later prescribed treatment, doctors can use the results immediately to support the safest and best drug choice. |
A patient suffers severe side effects from a medication. Testing later reveals poor drug metabolism, prompting a prescription change. |
|
BENEFIT /LIMITATION |
BENEFIT: Reduces trial-and-error, minimize medication side effects, enhances treatment success. |
LIMITATION: The patient experiences adverse (negative) effects before adjustments are made. Patients may experience side effects before adjustments are made, and in some cases the test may be done too late to prevent harm. |
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.
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.
