Our unique partnership with GeneSight® Pharmacogenomic Testing
As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with doctoral level scholarly training focused on pharmacogenomic-guided medication management, advanced expertise is applied in the interpretation and clinical use of genetic data. This work has included examining how pharmacogenomic testing can support medication selection, reduce adverse effects, and improve treatment response.
Pharmacogenomic testing evaluates genetic variations in key metabolic enzymes, such as CYP2D6 and CYP2C19, as well as genes involved in medication response. These variations influence how medications are processed in the body and may impact both effectiveness and the likelihood of side effects.
For individuals with a history of multiple medication trials, adverse effects, or suboptimal response, this approach reduces trial and error and supports more precise, individualized prescribing. When integrated with comprehensive evaluation and ongoing monitoring, it enhances safety and overall treatment outcomes.
