Genetic Testing

We partner with IDGenetix to offer advanced genetic testing services at Revere Health that help identify a patient’s sensitivity to certain medications based on their unique DNA. This personalized approach allows for more precise and effective treatment plans, minimizing the risk of adverse drug reactions and ensuring that patients receive the most appropriate medications for their genetic makeup.

How Genetic Testing Works
DNA Sample Collection: A simple, non-invasive DNA sample, often collected through a cheek swab, is sent to IDGenetix for analysis.
Medication Sensitivity Testing: The test analyzes specific genes that affect how your body metabolizes certain medications. This information helps predict how you may respond to various drugs, including those used to treat conditions like depression, anxiety, heart disease, and more.
Personalized Results: Based on the test results, your healthcare provider can tailor your treatment plan by selecting medications that are more likely to be effective for you, with fewer side effects.

Benefits of Genetic Testing
Personalized Medicine: Genetic testing helps your doctor create a treatment plan that is specifically designed for your body’s needs, improving the chances of successful treatment.
Reduced Trial and Error: By understanding your genetic makeup, doctors can avoid the trial-and-error approach often required when finding the right medication, saving time and reducing the risk of side effects.
Improved Safety: Identifying potential adverse reactions to medications allows for safer treatment, particularly for patients who may be sensitive to certain drugs.

Conditions That May Benefit from Genetic Testing
Mental Health: Medications for conditions like depression, anxiety, and ADHD can be better tailored to the patient’s genetic profile, leading to more effective treatment outcomes.
Cardiovascular Health: Genetic testing can guide the use of blood pressure and cholesterol medications by predicting how a patient will respond.
Pain Management: Understanding how you metabolize pain medications can help manage chronic pain more effectively and reduce the risk of opioid-related side effects.
