About this listen
The interplay between genetics and medications is important but complex. Pharmacogenomic testing provides doctors with information about how individual patients may respond to certain medications (ie. fast and slow metabolisers).
The RCPA recently released guidelines for doctors about requesting patient pharmacogenomic testing before prescribing some medications. These guidelines have identified 35 medications into three pharmacogenomics testing categories: recommend, consider, and no consensus. We discuss this testing with our guest today.
This is the story of pharmacogenomics.

Our special guest is Professor Luke Hessen who is the manager of the Genetics Department at Douglass Hanly Moir and co-Chair of the RCPA Pharmaogenetic Advisory Group.
