Can DNA Tests Help Prescribe Antidepressants?
Doctors increasingly use information about genes to evaluate potential risk for some diseases, such as BRCA genes that are linked to breast cancer, and to determine the best drug treatment for diseases, including acute leukemia and HIV. But using pharmacogenetics to help treat depression remains controversial.
