Not everyone responds to drugs in the same manner. A drug that is effective for some can have no or partial response, or have Adverse Drug Reactions in others. "Over 4 billion prescriptions are filled each year; yet 50-75% dont work as intended" Pharmacogenomics is the study of how a persons genes affect his response to drugs. The way a person resp... onds to a drug depends on various factors, the major influence being the genetic makeup of the person. Genetic factors account for up to 95% of drug-response variability and susceptibility. Depending on his genes, a persons body may break down a drug too slowly or too quickly. If he metabolizes a drug too slowly, he may be exposed to too much of it, which may result in an adverse drug reaction (ADR). If he metabolizes a drug too quickly, the drug might not affect him at all. Genome Shield's proprietary knowledgebase is curated by a team of scientists, physicians and pharmacists, and computational decision system developed in collaboration with academic groups at leading universities. Genome Shield's prescription recommendations are generated using CPIC, FDA, DPWG guidelines and published literature Our data and knowledgebase are continuously curated and kept up to date, in order to keep up with growing science Lifelong Resources at your Fingertips, Anytime, Anywhere Each patient and their doctor will have a login and password to see information unique to them, based on their genetic test through website and app, along with a paper report. Personalized recommendations will be continuously updated. The pharmacology knowledgebase is continuously curated to reflect available new scientific developmentRead More
