  • Pharmacogenomic testing is increasingly important for psychiatric care, but more research is needed to understand its practical benefits in real-world settings.
  • A study involving 15,000 patients revealed that 65% had potentially actionable genetic traits related to drug metabolism, particularly for the genes CYP2C19 and CYP2D6, with 87% showing some potential for actionable insights.
  • The use of advanced genetic sequencing helped identify significant genetic variations that could affect treatment decisions, suggesting that early pharmacogenomic testing might improve medication prescribing and patient outcomes in psychiatric care.
