PHARMACOGENOMICS (PGx)

Neurological and Psychiatric PGx Panel
Test description

This test is for individuals with a clinical diagnosis of long QT syndrome (LQTS). The primary Invitae Long QT Syndrome panel includes genes that are definitively associated with LQTS or other inherited arrhythmia disorders that may present with clinical features similar to LQTS. Individuals with clinical symptoms of LQTS may benefit from diagnostic genetic testing to establish or confirm diagnosis, clarify risks, or inform management. Asymptomatic members of a family with a known LQTS pathogenic variant may also benefit by avoiding activities and medications that can trigger symptoms.

Clinical description

Many of patients with depression do not respond to their first anti depression medications. Response to these medications may be under genetic influence. In addition, the genetic profile of individuals may explain the differences in response to some of anti-seizure, anti- anxiety medications as well as other medications commonly used to treat neurological and psychiatric conditions.
