[ad_1] A person’s genetic makeup can affect the possibility that they may experience side effects from certain medications. Some labs now offer pharmacogenetic tests that let patients know if they carry genetic variants known to be associated with adverse drug effects. Such tests could help patients and their doctors choose …
