Genetic tests for common variants that affect metabolism

Instructions The following documents provide a full set of instructions for completing the test:
Note Results take 2-3 weeks from when specimen is received. This test is not available in Pennsylvania. The results for this test can only be received via mail, e-mail, or fax. Since gene variants do not change over time, each person needs to be tested only once in their lifetime. References
