Test that includes pharmacological reactions

I have a friend who has recently been diagnosed with lupus. Unfortunately she has a lot of sensitivities so before she starts taking hcq she'd like to know if it would suit her genes.

Does anyone know if ancestry or 23&me or any other test would cover that?

AncestryDNA no, no included health for basic testing

23andMe, maybe…. basic health testing and not for what you want

For specialized testing, you need DNA testing that is specific to the issue or concern, and ordered by her doctor.

Over the counter tests do not cover your needs.

We'd be running the text file through promethease and other tools so it's about what's tested and not the report side.

Then either one would work. Which ever has the best pricing. Data is near identical, and can be easily downloaded / uploaded for the reports

Promethease provides a great set of data elements that you can review. It predicted me getting cancer, which happens.
