FAQ
What is GeneRx used for?
GeneRx is an educational application designed to demonstrate pharmacogenetic principles and help users understand how genetic variations can influence medication response. It provides insights into gene-drug interactions based on data from the Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC).
Can I use GeneRx to make medical decisions?
No, GeneRx is strictly for EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. Users should NOT use this app to make medical decisions. All medication and dosing decisions must be made in consultation with qualified healthcare providers.
What data sources does GeneRx use?
GeneRx is powered by data and guidelines from the Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC), including comprehensive pharmacogenetic guidelines, real-time API for current clinical recommendations, evidence-based gene-drug interaction data, and peer-reviewed dosing guidelines.
How many genes and medications are included in GeneRx?
GeneRx allows users to select from over 33 CPIC-annotated pharmacogenetic genes and provides access to over 3,803 medications from the CPIC/PharmGKB database. Of these, 87 drugs have specific CPIC dosing guidelines.
How does GeneRx visualize risk levels?
GeneRx uses color-coded recommendations based on CPIC guidelines: Green indicates standard dosing is appropriate, Orange suggests a dose adjustment may be needed, and Red advises considering an alternative medication. This helps users visually learn about CPIC medication safety classifications.
Does GeneRx require user accounts or track data?
No, GeneRx prioritizes privacy and safety. There is no data persistence between sessions, no user accounts or registration required, and usage is anonymous. The app does not employ tracking or analytics, with only session-only storage utilized.
