Genetic Test
Medicine genetic tests analyzes a person’s DNA to identify genetic variations that may impact their response to certain medications. These tests can help healthcare providers personalize medication regimens and optimize drug therapy for individual patients.
By analyzing a patient’s genetic makeup, doctors can identify potential adverse reactions to certain medications, adjust dosages, or select alternative medications that may be more effective.
These tests are typically performed using a blood or saliva sample and may be ordered by a healthcare provider for a variety of reasons, such as to identify the best medication for a patient, reduce the risk of adverse drug reactions, or determine why a medication may not be working as expected.

A form of medical examination known as genetic testing looks for changes in genes, chromosomes, or proteins. An individual’s likelihood of getting or passing on a genetic ailment can be determined using the results of a genetic test, which can also confirm or rule out a suspected genetic condition.
Results of genetic tests, which are performed using a blood or spit sample, are often available in a few weeks. Since our families all share the same DNA, if you are found to have a genetic change, your relatives may also have the same change.
The majority of tests are returned in two to three weeks, although some can take up to eight. During your appointment, your genetic counsellor will go over this with you.
