What’s Inside Your Personalised PGx Report

Understand how your body metabolises neurological medications — including anticonvulsants, beta blockers, and cognitive enhancers — based on your unique genetic make-up.

  1. Example Report

    Medication Summary

    See which neurology medications are most likely to work for you, based on your genes — reducing the risk of side effects and improving treatment success.

  2. Example Report

    Medication Summary Table

    This section offers a detailed overview of neurological medications. Each is categorised as follows:

    - Mild or no known gene-drug interaction: Safe to use as recommended. - Moderate gene-drug interaction: May require dose adjustment or monitoring to avoid side effects. - Severe gene-drug interaction: Increased risk of poor response or adverse effects — consider alternative medications suited to your genetic profile.

  3. Example Report

    Medication Report

    In-depth analysis of how your body processes neurological medications, supported by peer-reviewed science and clinical guidelines.

How PGx for Neurology Meds Works

Pharmacogenomics (PGx) reveals how your genes affect your response to neurological medications like anticonvulsants, cognitive enhancers, and migraine preventatives. We make it simple.

When and Why is an AttoPGx Test Appropriate for Neurology?

The AttoPGx Neurology test is a relevant tool for people who meet one or more of the following criteria:


  • Are taking medication(s) to treat neurological conditions
  • Feel that their current medication is ineffective
  • Experiencing side effects from taking medication
  • Are reluctant to start treatment for fear of side effects or the perception that it won't be effective.

By taking the test, you provide your healthcare professional with an essential tool to ensure that your prescriptions are tailored to your unique genetics. As a result, your road to recovery can be shorter and more effective.

Important

IMPORTANT: DO NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES TO YOUR CURRENT MEDICATION(S) WITHOUT CONSULTING YOUR HEALTHCARE PROVIDER FIRST.

While your genetics is important, other factors also contribute to how you respond to medications. The final choice of medication used will be based on your healthcare provider’s professional judgement and may be different to what is recommended in this report. The AttoPGx test does not determine your risk of any health problem or condition. It only evaluates select portions of your DNA that help predict how you may respond to the medications covered.

FAQs

What is PGx testing for neurology?

Pharmacogenomic (PGx) testing analyses your DNA to understand how your body responds to certain medications. It helps healthcare professionals tailor treatments to your unique genetic profile, ensuring medications are effective and minimising side effects.

Who can benefit from PGx testing?

This test is particularly helpful for individuals who:

  • Are taking medications for neurological disorders
  • Feel their current medication is ineffective
  • Experience side effects from medications
  • Are hesitant to start treatment due to concerns about side effects or ineffectiveness

What medications are covered in the test?

The test includes insights into key neurological medications such as anti-epileptics, dopaminergic medications, pain management drugs, and more.

How does the test work?

  1. Sample Collection: A cheek swab is provided in a simple at-home kit.
  2. Genetic Analysis: Your sample is analysed in our UK laboratory using cutting-edge technology to assess over 120 genetic markers relevant to response to medications.
  3. Comprehensive Report: You receive a detailed report with personalised medication recommendations and dosage adjustments, shared with your healthcare provider.

Where is the test performed?

The test is processed in a UK laboratory using advanced platforms including ThermoFisher OpenArray technology and/or Illumina iScan system, ensuring precise results.

Is the test painful?

No, the test is completely non-invasive. It involves a simple cheek swab that you can complete at home in just a few minutes.

How accurate is PGx testing?

Our testing process uses state-of-the-art technology and analyses over 120 genetic markers to provide precise, clinically actionable insights. However, genetics is just one factor influencing medication response, and results should be used in consultation with a healthcare provider.

Do I need a doctor to interpret my PGx results?

While the report is designed to be user-friendly, we strongly recommend discussing your results with your healthcare provider. They can interpret the findings in the context of your overall health and treatment plan.

How does PGx testing help reduce side effects?

By analysing your genetic profile, PGx testing identifies medications that are more likely to work for you and those that might cause adverse reactions. This helps your healthcare provider to make more informed decisions, minimising the risk of side effects.

What happens if my genetic profile suggests my current medication isn’t suitable?

Your healthcare provider may use the report to adjust your treatment plan, such as changing the medication or dosage, to find a more effective and safer option.

Can I change my medications based on the report?

No. You should never adjust your medications without consulting your healthcare provider. The PGx test provides guidance for your healthcare practitioner, who will make the final treatment decisions.
