Our genetic makeup plays a critical role in our response to medication. A good number of patients respond poorly to initial use of medications in psychiatry. The Genecept Assay® looks at key genes in your body which affect how it responds to medication. In a recent study, clinicians reported that 87% of their patients showed improvement with treatment guided by the Genecept Assay®. They also reported improvement in 91% of patients who had failed at least two medications in the past.

How does the test work?

What does the test tell us?

The test analyzes key genes, selected based on hundreds of studies showing that variations in these genes can inform treatment decisions. It is used to guide treatment for a range of psychiatric conditions including depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), bipolar disorder, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), autism, schizophrenia, chronic pain and substance abuse. The clinician can use the report to help select the most appropriate class of medication(s) to use, as well as to help with dosing. The information in the report can help the clinician to choose medications that are more likely to be effective, have lower risk for side effects and adverse events, and are dosed appropriately.
