Drug response genotyping:

Our laboratory currently offers genotyping to identify either a deficiency in drug metabolism or ultra-rapid drug metabolism. Through genotyping three of the most important drug metabolizing enzymes, cytochromes P450 2D6, 2C9 and 2C19 our laboratory can identify up to 95% of individuals who may require dosage modification for a growing number of therapeutic drugs.

Theraputic drug management:

This laboratory currently offers quantitation of mycophenolic acid (MPA) and its glucuronide metabolite (MPAG) in plasma.
