By understanding a patient&#8217;s genetic profile, healthcare professionals can better predict how they will respond to certain medications and adjust the type and dosage of treatment plans accordingly. For patients, this could mean lower overall healthcare costs and less trial-and-error in finding medications.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This analysis is a rapidly growing field expected to become a standard part of personalized medicine.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Patients Choice Direct uses innovative molecular diagnostics in their in-house laboratory to process pharmacogenetic kits accurately, providing patients with faster results and greater peace of mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-review-of-the-patients-choice-direct-pharmacogenetic-test\"><strong>Review of the Patients Choice Direct Pharmacogenetic Test<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The pharmacogenetic (PGx) kit is a one-time test that evaluates your unique genetic makeup to understand better how your body responds to and metabolizes certain medications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"924\" height=\"380\" src=\"https:\/\/nebula.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/patients-choice-direct-test-1024x421.png\" alt=\"Patients Choice Direct Pharmacogentics Test\" class=\"wp-image-41813\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nebula.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/patients-choice-direct-test.png 924w, https:\/\/nebula.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/patients-choice-direct-test-300x123.png 300w, https:\/\/nebula.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/patients-choice-direct-test-768x316.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 924px) 100vw, 924px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Patients Choice Direct Pharmacogenetics Test<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>People with certain conditions may find this test particularly useful for honing in on the most effective medication at the appropriate dose. This includes those with <a href=\"https:\/\/nebula.org\/blog\/is-heart-disease-genetic\/\">cardiovascular disease<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/nebula.org\/blog\/is-diabetes-genetic\/\">diabetes<\/a>, mental health conditions, <a href=\"https:\/\/nebula.org\/blog\/is-ms-genetic\/\">multiple sclerosis<\/a>, and pain management.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 35 genes analyzed focus on how people may respond differently to medications.&nbsp; For example, some people have genetic variants that cause them to metabolize certain medications slowly. Slow metobolizers tend to have these substances build up, causing a standard dose to be too high. On the other hand, fast metabolizers have the medications go through their bodies too quickly potentially suggesting a higher dose is needed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, an individual patient may need normal dose, lower dose, higher dose, or alternative medication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The table below lists the genes covered in the analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>12q15<\/td><td>ABCB1<\/td><td>ANKK1<\/td><td>APOE<\/td><td>CACNA1C<\/td><td>COMT<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>CYP1A2<\/td><td>CYP2B6<\/td><td>CYP2C18v<\/td><td>CYP2C19<\/td><td>CYP2C8<\/td><td>CYP2C9<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>CYP2D6<\/td><td>CYP3A4<\/td><td>CYP3A5<\/td><td>DPYD<\/td><td>DRD2<\/td><td>F2<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>F5<\/td><td>G6PD<\/td><td>GRIK1<\/td><td>GRIK4<\/td><td>HLA-B<\/td><td>HTR2A<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>HTR2C<\/td><td>MTHFR<\/td><td>NAT2<\/td><td>NUDT15<\/td><td>OPRM1<\/td><td>SLC6A4<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>SLCO1B1<\/td><td>TPMT<\/td><td>UGT2B15<\/td><td>UGT2B7<\/td><td>VKORC1<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-review-of-taking-a-patients-choice-direct-test\"><strong>Review of Taking a Patients Choice Direct Test<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With test kits delivered right to your doorstep, patients can select their preferred test and pay online, making it an affordable alternative to the typical physician-ordered process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once ordered, the test kit is shipped to the patient\u2019s home.
