The GeneSight test is a pharmacogenomic test that analyzes clinically important genetic variations that may impact how your patient metabolizes or responds to certain medications.  

The clinical validity, clinical utility, and economic utility of the GeneSight Psychotropic test have been evaluated in multiple published, peer-reviewed trials. It is the only psychiatric pharmacogenomic test backed by such extensive research. 

In the GUIDED Study – the largest pharmacogenomic randomized controlled trial in mental health – GeneSight outperformed TAU on clinical endpoints. *

 “Knowing a little bit more about your patient than what you can gleam just from their evaluation, initial consultation, and history is very useful.” (Antonio de Filippo, MD) 

"Quite simply, I use the GeneSight test because people are suffering. I do not want someone to leave my office feeling worse - I want people to leave feeling better. I always fight for my patients to get better." (F. Ada N. Ifesinachukwu, MD) 

"I'm using scientific data to make decisions rather than just trial and error." (Carlo Bayrakdarian, MD)
