Comprehensive gene analysis means more effective personalized care for patients
The G.A.P Test analyzes 20+ genes known to affect the metabolism of more than 300 medications. Specifically, our test covers the most studied class of enzymes, cytochrome p450, which are essential for the metabolism of many medications including Plavix and Coumadin, two of the medications for which pharmacogenetic testing is commonly recommended. The following enzymes covered by The G.A.P Test have been scientifically proven to affect a patient’s response to a variety of frequently prescribed drug classes, including beta-blockers and antidepressants.

A simple report generated with you in mind
Your patient’s G.A.P Test results are made available to you within 3 days via our online portal. In one simple and easy to read report you can see a complete list of your patient’s genetic variations along with a comprehensive assessment of which drugs you should avoid and which are safe to prescribe.
The report starts by highlighting the genetic results for the specific compound requested in the test requisition form so you can quickly see the results of the drug you are most interested in prescribing your patient.
Next, the report lists other drug compounds that may have safety or efficacy concerns for your patient based on their genetic variations.
Specific recommendations for drugs with warnings can be found under the full report. This section provides detail on each drug compound, the related genes and recommendations for prescribing.The report is organized by therapeutic category and is conveniently color-coded for easy warning level identification.
