Dr Guide | How Accurate is PGx?

In terms of laboratory accuracy, genotyping these markers is over 99% reliable. But the clinical value depends on the strength of evidence for each drug-gene pair. Some drugs have 100s of studies supporting the evidence for the drug-gene interactions, so the clinical actionability is very robust. Other pathways and drugs have less evidence, so the guidance is for information purposes only.
