Does the PG test have any limitations?
• Yes, as do many types of tests. • In the case of the PG test, it only analyzes common gene differences. This means if the test does not find any of the common gene differences, you could still have one or more rare gene differences. The test will not detect rare gene differences. Some of these rare differences might affect how you react to the medicine. • Gene differences are only one of many factors that can affect how you react to medicine. A few examples of other factors are your age, weight, other illnesses, lifestyle and environment. These factors need to be considered along with the PG test results.
