TestimonialsNew! Enhancements to the GeneSight® Psychotropic test
The GeneSight Psychotropic test is a pharmacogenomic test that analyzes clinically important genetic variations which may impact how your patient metabolizes and responds to certain medications used to treat mental health conditions.
Based on a comprehensive analysis of peer-reviewed literature and our continued commitment to providing clinicians with genetic insights to help inform treatment decisions, the GeneSight Psychotropic report has recently been updated to provide non-smoking and smoking results when applicable.
This enhancement ensures that you have an even more complete picture of your patients’ potential outcomes with certain medications.
Learn more about the recent enhancements by watching the video to the right.

A Comprehensive Report, Personalized for your Patient.
The GeneSight Psychotropic report may help you avoid multiple medication trials by providing information about which medications may require dose adjustments, be less likely to work, or have an increased risk of side effects based on your patient’s genetic information.
The report also includes information on how a patient’s smoking status may affect their body’s metabolism of certain medications.

|
Patients who are currently experiencing unwanted side effects |
|
Elderly patients and patients with liver damage |

clinical studies published in peer-reviewed journals support the GeneSight test’s effectiveness.In fact, it’s the only psychiatric pharmacogenomic test backed by such extensive research. |
In a post-hoc analysis of data from the GUIDED study, the GeneSight Psychotropic test was found to significantly improve clinical outcomes in patients taking medications with gene-drug interactions compared to treatment as usual.1
 |
Remission: 70% relative improvement and 7% absolute improvement in remission rates |
|
Response: 42% relative improvement and 8% absolute improvement in response rates |
|
Symptom Improvement: 23% relative improvement and 5% absolute improvement in symptoms |
