Panel Description
Many medications for mental health disorders are impacted by specific variations in known genes. These genetic variations can contribute to medication efficacy and risk for side effects. Pharmacogenomic testing to guide prescribing, paired with clinical monitoring, can impact outcomes for patients by reducing the time to therapeutic effect and reducing the risk of side effects.
