A first look at how your genes affect everyday substances.
The Starter Report is the simplest way to see what pharmacogenetics looks like for your own data. It focuses on everyday substances that most people encounter rather than prescription medications, so it is a low-cost first step if you are curious about the approach before committing to a fuller report.
The Starter Report covers the substances listed below: caffeine, nicotine, alcohol, and ketamine. For each one it shows the genes involved and what your genotype suggests about how your body processes it, drawn from the same pharmacogenetic knowledge base as our other reports.[1]
The Starter Report does not include guidance on prescription medications. It leaves out every clinical drug class shown in the excluded list below, including antidepressants, antipsychotics, pain medications, cardiac drugs, and the rest of the catalog. If you want pharmacogenetic guidance for medications you have been prescribed, choose the Psychiatric Report for mental-health drugs or the Full Report for complete coverage. As with every Gene2Rx report the results are informational and are bounded by what consumer genotype data and published guidance can support.
Drug classes this report does not cover (available in the Full Report):
Each substance lists the relevant genes and a short interpretation of your result. Because these are everyday substances rather than prescription drugs, the report is meant to illustrate how genotype shapes metabolism rather than to guide any treatment decision. Gene2Rx accepts genotype data on either the GRCh37 or GRCh38 genome build. If you later want guidance on prescribed medications, you can order a Psychiatric or Full Report from the same uploaded data.
$5 from a single genetic data upload. Whole Genome Sequencing VCFs add $15 per report.
Buy Now See example reportInformational only, not medical advice. Gene2Rx uses genotype data you upload and reports only on genes and drugs with published pharmacogenetic guidance. Consumer arrays cannot reliably call some structural variants, such as CYP2D6 gene deletions and duplications. Never start, stop, or change a medication without talking to your prescribing clinician.
