Genelex pharmacogenetic tests reveal natural variations that determine how the body processes commonly prescribed medications. More than 90% of the population have genetic variations that determine how their bodies process drugs. This applies to both prescription and over-the-counter medications. Due to these genetic differences, two people can take the same dose of the same drug but respond in very different ways. Each year in the United States, 8.6 million dangerous adverse drug events occur, resulting in more than 100,000 deaths. The FDA estimates the cost at a minimum of $30 billion per year.
