Integrating genetic medicine into everyday care
Meet Jeff Carlson
Jeff had been placed on blood thinners following several stent placements. He visited with his doctor about genetic testing to see which medications worked best for his body. After receiving his results, Jeff’s doctor switched him to a more effective medication.
Meet Karl Vanderlugt
Through genetic testing, Karl learned his body doesn’t produce a protein that removes bad cholesterol. “I knew I had high cholesterol and they tried to put me on a diet to control it, but it didn’t control it. Now I know why,” Vanderlugt said. Karl also discovered a medication he should avoid.
