The GeneSight Psychotropic Test
The GeneSight Psychotropic test analyzes how your genes may affect your outcomes with medications commonly prescribed to treat depression, anxiety, ADHD, and other mental health conditions. The GeneSight Psychotropic test provides your clinician with information about which medications may require dose adjustments, may be less likely to work for you or may have an increased risk of side effects based on your genetic makeup.

Pharmacokinetic genes tell us what the body does to the medication. These genes provide information on how a patient may break down certain medications.
Pharmacodynamic genes tell us what the medication does to the body. These genes provide information on likelihood of response and/or risk of side effects for certain medications.
These genotypes are included on the report for informational purposes only.
The GeneSight® MTHFR Test
MTHFR is an enzyme required to convert folic acid and dietary folate into its active form, which is called l-methylfolate. L-methylfolate plays an important role in making neurotransmitters, such as serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine, which help regulate mood. The GeneSight MTHFR test shows whether a person has variation in MTHFR, which would limit their ability to create l-methylfolate.

Step 1
Your clinician collects a DNA sample by painlessly swabbing the inside of your cheek OR you can collect the sample at home using our patient collection kit.
Step 2
The sample is sent to our lab for analysis.
Step 3
After we receive your sample, your clinician will typically get test results in about 2 days.
Step 4
Your clinician can contact our Medical Affairs team for a consultation. Your clinician can then review the results with you on your next visit.
