Description
Time Stamps00:00 Podcast Intro00:42 When is a genetic test useful?02:15 What situations would genetic testing not be helpful for?03:15 Since pharmacogenomic testing isn’t useful for every drug, how do we know when it is useful? 05:15 I’ve seen commercials for genetic testing. Can you talk about these? 05:55 So, you’re saying that a private citizen could get some genetic testing performed? 06:32 I imagine you have gotten a couple of phone calls from people asking what do to with their results? Do people sometimes call you about this?07:44 Can you talk about the differences between what you are going to do in your lab when you’re doing pharmacogenomic testing and what might be available to a patient as a direct-to-consumer?09:32 That makes me curious, does that mean that some of these direct-to-consumer tests are including alleles that are only for the white population? Or, are they including ones that are relevant to Latino, African-American, Asian communities too?11:00 Is there genetic testing that can talk about what type of diet I should follow and what type of exercise I should be doing? 12:45 Will everyone have their genomes sequences in a few years? 15:18 Can you explain what you mean when you say the test is getting better overtime?18:00 What is the role of the laboratory in performing a genetic test?22:58 OutroAdditional Resources:· CPIC webpage http://cpicgx.org to see guidelines for pharmacogenomics· Genetic Testing Registry https://www.ncvi.nlm.nih.gov/gtr/
