LifeBrite Laboratories provides genetic tests, diagnostics, and toxicology tests for health providers in primary care, substance use treatment, women’s health, and chronic pain management. LifeBrite Laboratories also processes molecular pathology tests for precision medicine. This approach analyzes genetic information to understand how individuals metabolize different medications.
Studies have revealed that individual differences exist in drug effectiveness. Researchers believe these differences may be linked to genetics. This has led to a body of research into which genes may predispose patients to adverse reactions to certain drugs or treatments.
An unexpected adverse side effect is one of the leading reasons a drug gets pulled from the market. If researchers can understand the underlying genetics that trigger toxic responses to certain pharmacological molecules, their ability to screen people with this disposition will be strengthened. Further, a more accurate picture of how genetics influence the metabolization of specific drugs can help doctors prescribe treatment courses that have the highest probability of success.
