Compare Pharmacogenomics Testing Options
Several approaches to pharmacogenomic testing exist — from clinician-ordered panel tests to services that analyze DNA data you already have. The comparisons below break down how they work, what clinical frameworks they use, and how they differ in accessibility and cost.
For background on the science behind these tests, see our educational articles and methodology page. You can also read about DecodeMyBio to understand our approach. For guidance on how methylation testing complements pharmacogenomic assessment, see our methylation testing guide.
