There are certain genes that contain instructions to build enzymes which, in turn, helps the body to break down medications, primarily in the liver. Every individual’s genetic makeup comprises of variations of each of these protein producing genes. Each gene will also present varying levels of activity (e.g. slow, normal, or fast), and as a result, individuals vary in how slow or fast they break down and clear medications from their body. This test can aid in the clinical understanding of a patient's predisposition to metabolize. This test can help to pinpoint areas in phase I detoxification that may need support.
