Genetic testing to determine individual drug metabolism profiles and guide personalized medication selection and dosing. China's pharmacogenomics laboratories test key metabolic enzymes (CYP450 family), drug transporters, and drug targets relevant to commonly prescribed medications. Particularly valuable for psychiatric medications, anticoagulants, and chemotherapy dosing.
Clinical Assessment
Review current medications, adverse drug reactions history, and identify key drug-gene interactions to test.
Duration: 30 minutesSample Collection
Blood or buccal swab collection for DNA extraction and pharmacogenomic panel testing.
Duration: 15 minutesGenotyping Analysis
Testing of CYP2D6, CYP2C19, CYP3A4, VKORC1, HLA-B, and other clinically relevant pharmacogenes.
Duration: 1-2 weeksClinical Report
Detailed report with drug-gene interaction summary, dosing recommendations, and medications to avoid.
Duration: 1-2 days- Personalized medication guidance reducing adverse drug reactions
- Population-specific allele frequencies well-characterized in Chinese database
- One-time test providing lifelong medication guidance
- Identifies poor and ultra-rapid metabolizers before adverse events occur
- Not all drug responses are genetically determined
- Guidelines may not cover all prescribed medications
- Results interpretation requires pharmacogenomics expertise
- Environmental and dietary factors also affect drug metabolism
