UK study suggests genetic screening before prescribing could benefit millions

UK study suggests genetic screening before prescribing could benefit millions ANI | Updated: Jan 29, 2021 15:47 IST London [UK], January 29 (ANI): Four million UK patients could benefit annually from genetic testing before being prescribed common medicines, according to new research. The research from the University of East Anglia (UEA) in collaboration with Boots UK and Leiden University (Netherlands), was published in the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology. Researchers looked through 2019 NHS dispensing data across the UK to see how many patients are started on new prescriptions each year that could be potentially optimised by genetic testing. They studied 56 medicines, including antidepressants, antibiotics, stomach ulcer treatments and painkillers where there are known drug-gene interactions.

Genetic screening before prescribing could benefit millions

New research finds that millions of UK patients could benefit from genetic screening (cheek swab) before being prescribed common medications including antidepressants, stomach ulcer treatments and painkillers. More than 95 per cent of the population carry a genetic marker that predicts an atypical response to at least one medicine. The study looked at nine of these genetic markers, affecting 56 medicines where there are known drug-gene interactions.
