This study is designed to learn whether testing your genes can help doctors choose medications that work better for you personally. Researchers will take a small DNA sample and test it to see if you have genetic differences that might affect how your body handles certain medications or whether you might have side effects. The results will be given to your doctor to see if it helps guide your care.
Many people have genetic differences that affect how their bodies process medications — some people metabolize drugs quickly, others slowly, and some don't respond well to certain medicines at all. This study wants to find out whether sharing this genetic information with doctors in real-world care actually helps them choose better, safer medications for their patients.

If you enroll, a researcher will collect a small DNA sample (usually a saliva sample or blood draw) and test it for genetic variations that might affect how you respond to medications. Your doctor will receive a report with the results, and researchers will follow up to see whether this information influenced the medications your doctor prescribes for you. The study will track your medical care over time to learn whether genetic testing helps improve treatment outcomes.
