SOUTH PLAINFIELD, N.J., Sept. 21, 2016 -- Molecular Diagnostics company, Admera Health, (www.admerahealth.com) today announced that its PGxOne™ Plus pharmacogenomics test has been updated to include 25 additional genes, bringing the total number of genes covered to 50.
PGxOne™ Plus results help predict how patients will respond to drug therapy for several therapeutic areas including psychiatry, pain management and cardiology. Leveraging Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, this expanded 50 gene panel interrogates nearly 200 different variants and provides recommendations for over 220 associated drugs. The recommendations include considering alternatives when specific drugs should be avoided, dosage adjustment information when available, use with caution, and normal response expected. The PGxOne™ Plus report also provides information related to drug-to-drug, drug-to-food, drug-to-alcohol and drug-to-laboratory test interactions that are relevant to a patient’s current medications. Thus, test results offer physicians a valuable tool for guiding effective treatment decisions and potentially reducing trial-and-error treatment selection and adverse drug events.
“With this product update we have doubled the number of genes on what was already the most comprehensive pharmacogenomics test on the market. However, only gene variants that have strong clinical evidence associated with drug metabolism, absorption and activity are included in the panel,” stated Guanghui Hu, PhD, President and CEO of Admera.
Dr. Hu went on to elaborate, “As pharmacogenomics testing becomes the standard of care, it is clear that Admera Health is emerging as the leader in this field.”
In addition to pharmacogenomics testing, Admera Health provides genetic testing for the risk assessment and diagnosis of inherited cardiovascular diseases and cancer tumor profiling to guide selection of targeted therapies.
