Pharmacogenomics test: how your genes affect your medications

Why does a medication work well for one person and cause side effects in another? Part of the answer lies in your genes. Adnà’s pharmacogenomics test analyzes the genetic variations that influence how your body processes and eliminates many medications.

A simple saliva sample, collected at home, is all it takes. The analysis is carried out by an accredited partner laboratory using Illumina technology. You receive your report as a PDF by email 30 to 45 business days after the lab receives your sample.

What you learn

Your report shows how your genes may influence your response to dozens of medications, grouped by medical specialty:

  • Cardiology: certain medications used for the heart and circulation.
  • Neurology: certain medications acting on the nervous system.
  • Pain: certain painkillers.
  • Oncology: certain cancer treatments.
  • Other areas: other common families of medications.

For each medication, the report shows whether your genetic profile could affect its effectiveness or the risk of side effects.

Pharmacogenetics or pharmacogenomics?

Both words describe the same idea: using your DNA to better choose and dose your medications. Pharmacogenetics usually refers to the effect of one gene on one drug, and pharmacogenomics to the analysis of many genes at once, as this test does. It is one of the foundations of personalized medicine.

How much does the test cost?

The price includes the kit, the prepaid return label, the lab analysis and the reports. You can add other reports when ordering, from the same sample.

Is the test covered by insurance?

Some group insurance plans and health spending accounts reimburse pharmacogenomic tests. Conditions vary from one insurer to another: check your policy or contact your insurer before ordering.

How the test works, step by step

  1. Order online. Your kit arrives within 2 to 3 business days.
  2. Collect your saliva sample following the instructions. Our user guide shows you each step.
  3. Send the sample back with the prepaid return label included in your kit.
  4. Get your report by email, as a PDF, 30 to 45 business days after the lab receives your sample.

How to use your results

Show your report to your doctor or pharmacist. They can take it into account when choosing a medication or adjusting a dose. Your genes do not change during your life, so the report remains useful for future treatments.

Important: never start, stop or change a treatment without advice from your doctor or pharmacist.

Limits of the test

Genetics explains only part of how you respond to medications. Age, weight, liver and kidney function, other medications and diet also play a role. This test is not a diagnostic tool and does not replace a medical consultation.

To also learn about your predisposition to certain diseases, see our genetic predisposition test.

Privacy

Your report is sent only to the email address used for the order. You decide who you share it with.

Questions?

No. Our pharmacogenomics test tells you how your genetics may influence your response to certain medications, but it cannot predict your response to all medications. It is based on specific genetic markers validated for their influence on the metabolism and effectiveness of certain drugs.

It is essential to consult a healthcare professional, doctor or pharmacist, before any change to your treatment.

Yes. Pharmacogenomics is evolving, and new discoveries may lead to adjustments in recommendations. Adnà follows these advances and may update your pharmacogenomics report accordingly. Stay in regular contact with your healthcare professional for any change in treatment.

The pharmacogenomics report is meant to guide your discussions with a healthcare professional: show it to your doctor or pharmacist. It can help inform the choice of certain medications and their dosage, but should not be used to make medical decisions on your own. Your doctor will consider it together with your medical history, current medications and lifestyle.

This report is also included in the DNA 360 Test.

Can my health and wellness test replace a medical diagnosis?

No. Adnà offers tests for informational and educational purposes. They are not intended to be used as a diagnostic tool. Your traits and results depend not only on genetics, but also on environment, upbringing, lifestyle and other factors. Results should therefore be interpreted with caution and, when needed, with a healthcare professional.

Our DNA health tests and wellness tests help you get to know yourself better and prepare the conversation with your doctor, but they do not replace medical advice.

How do I know your DNA tests are scientifically reliable?

• Our DNA relationship tests establish family relationships by analyzing 22 genetic markers, in ISO 17025 accredited laboratories. Their reliability is 99.99%.
• Our health and wellness tests rely on cutting-edge technologies, including DNA sequencing with Illumina technology, and on peer-reviewed studies recognized by the international scientific community.

The timeline depends on the type of test ordered.

For DNA relationship tests
• You receive your kit at home, usually within 2 to 3 business days after ordering, depending on your address.
• Your results are available within 5 to 7 business days after the lab receives your samples.
• You then receive your report as a PDF directly at the email address linked to your order.

For health and wellness tests (ancestry, sports and performance, nutrition, skincare, talent and personality, microbiome, genetic predispositions, pharmacogenomics and the DNA 360 Test)
• You receive your kit at home, usually within 2 to 3 business days after ordering, depending on your address.
• Your results are available within 30 to 45 business days after the lab receives your samples. This timeline reflects the complexity of sequencing.
• You then receive your report as a PDF directly at the email address linked to your order.

You receive your report as a PDF directly at the email address linked to your order. No account or activation code is needed: you can read it, print it or share it with a healthcare professional if you wish.

How do I collect my DNA sample?

Sample collection is simple, quick and painless, and is done at home with no appointment. Detailed instructions are included in your Adnà kit, and our instructions page walks you through them step by step.

Here is a video showing how to collect the sample:

How do I send back my collection kit once the sample is collected?

• After collecting and registering your sample, stick the prepaid return label included in the envelope over the shipping label.
• Seal the envelope, making sure it contains the samples tightly closed in their packaging.
• Mail the envelope by dropping it in a mailbox.
• You can track your order and receive the main shipping notifications by email.

Once the lab receives your samples, allow 5 to 7 business days for the results of a DNA relationship test, and 30 to 45 business days for a health or wellness test.
