Biomarkers are unique analytes that can be utilized to improve diagnosis forecast treatment outcomes and direct treatment decisions. They are crucial to personalized medicine. The increased usage of biomarkers to enhance patient outcomes is popular in clinical trials, and its use in clinical practice is expanding quickly. The development of personalized medicines using biomarkers is expected to create effective and safe therapies for every patient. This is a major relief for patients at advanced stages of chronic diseases like cancer, which further drives the market growth. For instance, in August 2022, VENTANA MMR RxDx Panel, an FDA approved first IHC-based assay used for the identification of patients with advanced cancer that is Pembrolizumab treatment eligible.

Early detection/screening biomarkers predict the outcome of disease in patient population prior to therapy. It can also help enrich clinical trials by helping choose patients more likely to respond to treatment. For instance, Oncotype Dx is a diagnostic test developed by Genomic Health, Inc. This test examines 21 genes and helps predict the likelihood of reoccurrence of breast cancer in a patient after initial treatment. In April 2022, updated ASCO guidelines recommended the usage of the Oncotype DX test for breast cancer patients at early stages to guide treatment decisions.

Moreover, biomarkers are used for their predictive and prognostic utility that helps predict the occurrence of a health condition. For instance, the prostate-specific antigen is used to predict the survival of patients with prostate cancer. CRP is used to predict disease-free survival in breast cancer and as a risk factor in cardiovascular disorders. Serum LDH helps predict survival in case of metastatic brain tumors. Similarly, CA125 helps predict metastatic diseases in patients with uterine carcinoma.

Furthermore, key players operating in the personalized medicine biomarkers industry are focusing on expanding and launching products that can be used for a wide range of applications. For instance, in October 2021, Agilent Technologies Inc. received FDA approval for Agilent Ki-67 IHC MIB-1 pharmDx (Dako Omnis), for the identification of patients with a high risk of breast cancer recurrence.

(intro post) I am many things, but I am not a math person.

And when I say “many things,” I mean MANY things. Art. Creative writing. Journalism. Acting. Theology. Philosophy. Urban planning, Disabled self-advocacy. Environmentalism. You name it — if it’s humanities or a biology-adjacent science, I’ve got it.

But while an unimaginably nerdy fourth-grade me was founding a school newspaper or making an unprompted presentation about pharmacogenomics (yes, I was extremely a bit pretentious), there is one subject I have hated since I had the capacity to hate:

Math.

I qualified for Advanced Math testing every year of elementary school. EVERY YEAR! And did I ever get in?! NooOOOoOOO!

Every year, I was good enough to get tested but never enough to actually ace that test — and every year, I watched the smug little faces of my peers as they moved to another classroom to learn the arcane, esoteric, staggeringly difficult art of fourth/fifth grade math. For a little kid whose entire identity was built on being the “smartest kid in the class,” it was agony in its purest form.

This continued into middle school and is still a problem in high school today. I’m in honors math — but not the highest honors math. My math scores are always notably lower than my scores in, well… everything else. In fact, I’ve gotten two Bs in my entire life as of now (sophomore year), and they were both in — shocker — math. I’m in a math class with freshmen, and when I went to my school’s resource center to ask for help on matrices, I ended up getting tutored by someone my own age.

(Are these stupid problems? Of course! There are people dealing with math [and grades in general] who have it a lot harder than I do. Intellectually, I know that a B isn’t a bad grade, it’s okay to be in a class with people younger than you, and a lot of people have a tutor the same age as them. Don’t feel bad if any of that applies to you! I’m just a perfectionist who uses academic validation a source of self-worth, and for me, this is the equivalent of a rock that never seems to get out of my shoe.)

All this was tolerable, but when I found out that the highest math class in my high school — the one I would be on track for if I got into Advanced Math in elementary or middle school — had barely any girls in it, that was the last straw. I am not perpetuating the myth that girls are bad at math!

So I’ve decided that even though I’ve been told my entire life that “everyone has different talents” and I’m “just not a math person,” I will be working hard to skip the equivalent of a grade in math and get into AP Calc BC junior year. I will find out what it takes to be good at math (and why some of my friends like it so much).

(Plus, math is an extremely inconvenient subject to be mediocre in. Intellectually, I understand the appeal. It’s built into the fabric of the universe, for crying out loud!)

And thus, into the studying vortex I go.

For women in STEM everywhere!

For vindication for my elementary-school self!

And most of all, for my own fragile ego intellectual curiosity and an unquenchable thirst for learning!

[sleepysera]

"With the announcement that the Human Genome Project had mapped all of the genetic material in the human chromosomes, a new era in the understanding of genetics began. The discovery of new genes is announced every day, and it is only a matter of time before the genetic mechanisms of mood disorders is only one of the goals of work in this field. Just as important will be understanding the epigenetic mechanisms by which genes turn on and off and other mechanisms that regulate the expression and work of the instructions encoded in the DNA molecule.

The first genetic approach to pay off in changing treatment is likely to be pharmacogenomics, the field within genetics that investigates genetic factors associated with responses to particular pharmaceuticals rather than with risk of disease. The promise of pharmacogenomics is that therapeutic agents can be rationally selected, based on a person's genetic profile rather than the trial-and-error process patients must now endure. In the not-too-distant future, a blood test will show whether lithium or valproate or lamotrigine or some as yet undiscovered drug will be the best treatment for a particular individual with bipolar disorder. A blood test may be able to identify the bipolar patients who can safely take an antidepressant."

What Is Mental Health Genetic Testing, and How Can It Help?

In recent years, the conversation around mental health has gained much-needed attention, with individuals and healthcare providers alike striving for better solutions to address mental health challenges. Among the innovative tools emerging in this field is mental health genetic testing, a revolutionary approach to understanding and treating mental health conditions.

This method leverages advancements in genetics to provide personalized insights into how an individual’s DNA may influence their mental health and treatment response. But what exactly is mental health genetic testing, and how can it help those navigating the complexities of mental health disorders?

Mental Health Genetic Testing

Mental health genetic testing, also known as pharmacogenomic testing, involves analyzing specific genes that may influence an individual’s mental health. The process examines variations in DNA that can affect how the body responds to medications or the likelihood of developing certain mental health conditions.

This form of testing is particularly focused on identifying genetic markers related to:

Medication response - Determining how your body metabolizes and reacts to specific psychiatric medications.

Risk factors - Understanding genetic predispositions to conditions such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia.

Behavioral traits - Exploring genetic links to personality traits or tendencies, such as stress resilience or emotional sensitivity.

The goal of mental health genetic testing is not to diagnose mental health conditions but to provide valuable data that can guide more effective and individualized treatment plans.

Science Behind It

Our genetic makeup plays a significant role in how our bodies function, including how we process medications and respond to environmental stressors. Mental health genetic testing focuses on analyzing genes involved in:

Neurotransmitter activity - Genes like SLC6A4, which impact serotonin transport, can indicate how well someone might respond to certain antidepressants.

Drug metabolism - Genes like CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 influence how quickly medications are broken down in the body, affecting drug efficacy and potential side effects.

Brain function - Genes like COMT and BDNF may provide insights into cognitive processes, stress response, and emotional regulation.

By identifying variations in these genes, healthcare providers can gain a clearer picture of a patient’s unique mental health landscape.

How Does Mental Health Genetic Testing Work?

The testing process is straightforward and typically involves the following steps:

Sample collection - A simple swab of the inside of your cheek or a small blood sample is collected.

DNA analysis - The sample is sent to a specialized lab where genetic markers are analyzed.

Results interpretation - The test results are reviewed by healthcare providers, who explain their implications and how they can inform treatment.

Personalized treatment plan - Based on the findings, doctors may adjust medications, suggest alternative therapies, or recommend lifestyle changes.

The entire process is non-invasive and can be completed in a matter of weeks, making it accessible and convenient for patients.

Benefits of Mental Health Genetic Testing

Personalized medication plans

One of the most significant challenges in mental health treatment is the trial-and-error process of finding the right medication. Genetic testing can significantly reduce this uncertainty by identifying medications that are more likely to work based on your genetic profile.

Reduced side effects

Some individuals experience severe side effects from medications that are not well-suited to their genetic makeup. Genetic testing can identify drugs that are less likely to cause adverse reactions, improving overall treatment adherence and effectiveness.

Faster symptom relief

With more precise medication choices, patients can often experience symptom relief more quickly, minimizing the emotional and physical toll of prolonged untreated symptoms.

Insight into mental health risks

Genetic testing can highlight predispositions to certain conditions, allowing individuals and healthcare providers to adopt preventative strategies or early interventions.

Improved communication with healthcare providers

Armed with genetic insights, patients can have more informed discussions with their doctors, ensuring that treatment plans are collaborative and well-informed.

How Can Mental Health Genetic Testing Help?

Addressing treatment resistance

Many individuals struggle with treatment-resistant depression or anxiety, where traditional medications fail to provide relief. Genetic testing can identify alternative treatment options or combinations that may be more effective.

Enhancing therapy approaches

Understanding genetic predispositions can also inform therapeutic interventions. For instance, individuals with a heightened stress response may benefit from specific mindfulness or cognitive-behavioral techniques.

Empowering patients

Knowledge is empowering. Genetic testing provides individuals with a deeper understanding of their mental health, enabling them to take a proactive role in managing their condition.

Supporting family members

Mental health genetic testing can also be beneficial for family members of individuals with mental health conditions. It can offer insights into shared genetic risks and guide preventative measures for others in the family.

Reducing the stigma

The scientific backing of genetic testing can help demystify mental health conditions, framing them as medical issues rather than personal failures. This shift can reduce stigma and encourage more people to seek help.

Limitations and Considerations

While mental health genetic testing offers numerous advantages, it’s essential to approach it with realistic expectations:

Not a diagnosis tool - The test does not diagnose mental health disorders but provides data to support treatment decisions.

Complexity of mental health - Mental health conditions are influenced by a combination of genetic, environmental, and psychological factors. Genetic testing is just one piece of the puzzle.

Cost and accessibility - The cost of testing can be a barrier for some individuals, and not all insurance plans cover it.

Ethical concerns - Genetic data privacy is a concern for many. It’s crucial to choose reputable providers with strict confidentiality policies.

As research in genetics and mental health advances, the potential applications of genetic testing will continue to expand. Emerging trends include:

Polygenic risk scores - Combining multiple genetic markers to predict the likelihood of developing specific conditions.

Gene-environment interactions - Exploring how genetic predispositions interact with lifestyle and environmental factors.

Expanded treatment options - Developing new medications and therapies tailored to genetic profiles.

With these advancements, mental health genetic testing may become an integral part of personalized medicine, transforming the way mental health care is delivered.

The Power of Pharmacogenomics (PGx) Testing at Medgenyx

At Medgenyx, we are at the forefront of a healthcare revolution powered by pharmacogenomics (PGx) testing. This cutting-edge approach leverages genetic insights to optimize medication therapies, enhancing patient outcomes and paving the way for truly personalized medicine.

What is Pharmacogenomics (PGx) Testing?

Pharmacogenomics (PGx) testing involves analyzing a patient's genetic makeup to predict their response to specific medications. By understanding genetic variations that affect drug metabolism, efficacy, and toxicity, healthcare providers can tailor treatments to the individual needs of each patient. This personalized approach helps to ensure that medications are both safe and effective.

The Benefits of PGx Testing

PGx testing offers numerous advantages that can significantly improve patient care:

Enhanced Efficacy: By identifying the most effective medications for a patient’s genetic profile, PGx testing ensures that treatments work optimally.

Reduced Adverse Reactions: Understanding genetic predispositions to drug-related side effects helps in selecting medications that minimize risks.

Optimized Dosage: Genetic insights allow for precise dosage adjustments, reducing the risk of under- or over-medication.

Informed Decision-Making: PGx testing provides valuable information that supports clinicians in making well-informed treatment decisions.

Increased Patient Adherence: When patients experience fewer side effects and more effective treatments, they are more likely to adhere to their prescribed medication regimens.

How PGx Testing Works

The process of PGx testing at Medgenyx is simple and non-invasive:

Sample Collection: A small sample, typically a cheek swab or saliva, is collected from the patient.

Genetic Analysis: The sample is analyzed in our state-of-the-art laboratory to identify genetic variations that affect drug response.

Report Generation: A detailed report is generated, highlighting the patient’s genetic profile and its implications for medication therapy.

Clinical Application: Healthcare providers use the report to make personalized treatment decisions, selecting the best medications and dosages for the patient.
