DNAdose
Healthscope Advanced Pathology, in conjunction with GenesFX Health now offers a premium pharmacogenomic service known as DNAdose - Personalised Prescribing.
Since many drugs are metabolized by multiple enzymatic pathways, DNAdose identifies gene variants in four major enzyme systems simultaneously. Together, these enzymes play an important role in metabolism and effect of more than 40% of commonly prescribed medications.
With the growing demand on clinicians to interpret DNA data, DNAdose now offers expert interpretation via a “Personalised Drug-specific Report” prepared by both clinical geneticists and pharmacists.
