With genetic testing and mapping, we can precisely predict how medications will be metabolized in the body, and even identify which medication from a list is the best match for a patient’s unique physiology. This allows doctors to accurately and precisely determine both the short and long-term side e?ects of a medication on a patient’s body. If a medication is metabolized too quickly, the patient may not receive an adequate dosage. Conversely, if metabolism is too slow, the medication can accumulate and cause side e?ects. Personalized medicine, once a topic of ?ction, is now a reality. Anyone with a genetic test and Family disease has access to personalized medication, ensuring they receive the most e?ective treatment tailored to their body’s needs. Thanks to new technology, pharmacogenetics is now an invaluable tool for doctors and patients seeking a safer and better quality of life. Genetic Diagnosis and Rare Disorders At Berries Health & Genetics, our full genetic diagnostic lab specializes in supporting di?erent genetic disorders, particularly rare genetic conditions. Our expertise allows us to identify speci?c genetic abnormalities that contribute to less common diseases, providing essential information for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment plans. Genetic Risk Assessment and Proactive Health Management The relationship between genetics, familial traits, and diseases is well-recognized both within the medical community and by the public. Recent advancements in genetics and science now enable us to predict disease pathways in the descendants of individuals a?ected by genetic conditions. By operating genetic testing, we can foresee and mitigate risks associated with conditions like heart disease that have a genetic component. This proactive approach ensures that future generations are healthier and better protected against inherited diseases.
