Genetic Testing Utah

Genetic Testing for Mental Health and Wellness

Corner Canyon Health Centers offers comprehensive genetic testing to provide information on an individual’s risk for certain genetic and health conditions. Gene testing can also help healthcare providers develop individualized treatment plans based on genetic makeup. 

Testing can determine how a patient may respond to certain medications based on their genetic profile. This can be useful for individuals who have had adverse reactions to medications in the past or those who have been unsuccessful in finding a medication that works for them.

Gene Testing for Psychiatric Medication

Genetic testing for psychiatric disorders and medication can tell psychiatrists how individuals will metabolize certain medications or if they will experience side effects. This can make it easier for your provider to prescribe medication and adjust dosages more accurately.

Genetic Testing for Mental Health Disorders & Substance Abuse

The Genetic Addiction Risk Assessment is designed to assess an individual’s predisposition to behavioral health disorders and substance abuse. It tests a range of genetic markers linked to ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression, bipolar, and drug addiction.

Microbiome Gut Health Test

Biome Gut testing can provide information on the health of an individual’s digestive system, including the presence of beneficial or harmful bacteria. This information can be used to identify potential causes of digestive symptoms and guide nutritional plans that support the brain-gut connection.

Genetic tests can help psychiatrists find medication for patients that will cause less adverse effects based on their individual genetic profile. They can also use genetic tests to detect which medications will be easier metabolized in the body. 

There´s no specific genetic test that will show whether someone has a mental health disorder. However, genetic tests may provide insight into the genes that cause someone to be predisposed to certain mental illnesses.

Our gut health testing will examine your gut microbiome to detect if there is an imbalance of good bacteria, or too much bad bacteria that could be causing digestive problems.

The accuracy of genetic tests varies, depending on the medication and condition being tested for, if gene mutations are present, and family medical history. Genetic testing may not be able to tell you which medication will definitely work, but it can provide insights into what your body metabolizes easier.
