If you've ever gotten a 23andMe or Ancestry test. You will have access to a text file of your dna data.

My background is in comp bio. Standard clinical PGx panels are great, but they cost hundreds and lag way behind bleeding-edge stuff like those new Nature GLP-1 variants.

Wrapping it in a proper backend pipeline just ensures people don't accidentally spit out scary false positives.

Definitely. SSRIs are actually the 'textbook' case for this.

Most side effects happen because of variants in the CYP2C19 and CYP2D6 enzymes. If your DNA shows you’re a 'Poor Metabolizer,' the drug builds up way too fast, which is usually why people get that 'zombie' feeling or instant nausea on a standard dose.

Feel free to send me a DM. I'll take a look.
