Ariel SNaP-SHOT ™
A broad indication pharmacogenomic (PGx) test with easy-to-interpret provider report and patient card.
Advanced Genetics to Inform Medication Choices
Reduce drug interaction risk with a patient-specific PGx profile.
A person’s genetic variants can impact how they will respond to medications (pharmacogenomics, PGx). PGx data can help providers identify patients who are more likely to respond to a medication or a specific medication dose. It can also help patients and providers avoid adverse drug events that are associated with specific genetic variants.
Ariel SNaP-SHOT ™ is a clinical genetic test and interpretation service that incorporates pharmacogenomics data with FDA prescription drug labeling and evidence-based clinical practice guidelines from the Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC). Our unique individualized approach provides informative and actionable pharmacogenomics data in an easy-to-interpret report.
