What does the SNPs test diagnose?
Posted: 26th January 2021The SNPs test analyses a patient’s DNA to characterise how they would respond to treatment with common anti-inflammatories, antibiotics and anticoagulants.

The SNPs test analyses a patient’s DNA to characterise how they would respond to treatment with common anti-inflammatories, antibiotics and anticoagulants.
Read moreThe SNPs test uses an advanced molecular biology technique called quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) to identify genetic markers, called single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that can characterise how your patient
Read moreDNA isolated from blood or swab sample is used as a template in qPCR reactions using specific TaqMan Probes, for each polymorphism.
Read moreAll reactions are performed in triplicate. In addition, positive and appropriate negative controls ensure accurate and reliable results.
Read moreThe final SNPs test report provides information on whether scientists have identified any SNPs associated with positive or negative responses to common anti-inflammatories, antibiotics and anticoagulants.
Read moreUsing the information from the SNPs, individuals are able get information about response to anti-inflammatories, antibiotics and anticoagulants and clinicians are able to tailor their treatment to their patients’ needs.
Read moreResults of the SNPs test are processed and returned within 14 days.
