The effect of genes drug response
Pharmacogenomics
Achieve optimum therapeutic effects and avoid unwanted side effects
Drugs do not affect everyone to the same degree. 90% of the top-selling medications only help 30-50% of the patients treated. The reason are single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that lead to varying enzyme activities, different phenotypes and adverse drug reactions.
Millions of people affected by
Adverse drug reactions
Millions of people are affected by adverse drug reactions (ADRs) every year:
- ADRs are the most common cause of hospitalisation
- ADRs are the fourth or sixth leading cause of death (depending on the western country)
- ADRs have a major impact on healthcare costs
Comprehensive and pre-emptive PGx screening within the framework of the health systems could reduce this cause of death by 34%, saving tens of thousands of lives and billions in costs.
