Personalized diagnostics, gives you the information you need to improve patient outcomes.
GENETWORx can detect more than 30 different types of pathogens and deliver 99% accurate results within 72 hours of lab sample receipt.
GENETWORx molecular pathogen testing is more accurate than standard culture testing. Our molecular pathogen testing detects anaerobic organisms growing deep inside that standard cultures often miss. [1]
Our rapid turnaround time is within 72 hours from laboratory receipt.
Our simple to read report gives clinicians quick, actionable intelligence to make better treatment decisions.
Ability to identify pathogens when the patient is on empiric antibiotic treatment.
With molecular testing, not only can you receive a clear picture of the type and percent of pathogens causing the infection, in many cases, you can identify antimicrobial resistance. With the power of molecular testing, you can select the optimal medication therapy for your patient, improve treatment outcomes and reduce healthcare spend.

Pharmacogenetics refers to genetic differences in metabolic pathways which can affect an individual’s response to drugs in terms of therapeutic effect as well as adverse effects.
Taking a medication can often feel like a one-size-fits-all solution, yet it is estimated about 50% of patients do not respond effectively to the first medication prescribed by their physician.* This can cause delays in providing relief for patients, and can add additional cost to the healthcare system and a patient’s medical expenses.
GENETWORx pharmacogenetic testing, also known as DNA drug-response testing, can help determine the most effective medicine for a person’s needs and sometimes assist in dosing guidelines for a wide array of medications. It helps physicians identify potential gene-drug interactions and drug-gene-drug interactions. GENETWORx also reviews drug-drug interactions to help give a complete picture of a person’s medication therapy. Physicians will fill out a Drug Sensitivity Form (included with the pharmacogenomics DNA testing kit) and include a list of medications that their patient is currently taking or medications that the prescriber may want to consider for future use. GENETWORx also has the capability to pull all the patient’s medications that they have had filled at a pharmacy through their health insurance over the past 180 days through a third-party vendor (SureScripts).
Having a list of medications and a list of potential drug-drug interactions, gene-drug interactions, and drug-gene-drug interactions, along with this new genetic information, gives a prescriber a better understanding of why their patient may respond to a medication in a particular way. In other words: A more effective medication the first time around, eliminating the time, energy, and money wasted trying to find the “right” medication for a patient.
GENETWORx is a pharmacogenetic lab and tests 30 genes to help identify mutations that may affect a person’s metabolism and/or response to medications. Once the pharmacogenetic analysis, conducted via a simple cheek swab sample, is complete, a Personalized Medication Report is reviewed by a pharmacist at GENETWORx and prepared for the prescriber so that they can identify potential gene-drug interactions, drug-drug interactions, as well as drug-gene-drug interactions. GENETWORx reports provide a pharmacogenomic analysis along with a Personalized Medication Guide, that list medications by specialty in categories of: Use as Directed, Use with Caution, or Recommend Alternative Medication. This list can be used for helping a prescriber choose new or alternative medications for their patient. The report is a powerful tool to help healthcare providers and their patients determine the best course of treatment.
