Course Description

Several factors go into selecting a PGx gene panel test including which genes are on the panel, the scope of variants detected, as well as cost, insurance reimbursement, turn-around-time, ease of use of the report, integration of results into the EHR and other factors. In this white paper, we dig into commercially available comprehensive PGx tests and compare and evaluate the clinical validity of the genes analyzed.
