Now the researchers behind the study are calling for all patients to be given DNA profiles via a simple blood test or saliva swab. In 2020 NHS cancer patients prescribed chemotherapy drug capecitabine were offered a test for a genetic variation that stops the liver being able to expel excess amounts of the medication.Īnd last year some hospitals began rolling out genetic tests that predict an adverse reaction to the antibiotic gentamicin, which can cause deafness. In one in ten patients it can potentially cause fatal septic shock.

Researchers – which included a group from the University of Liverpool – noted 30 per cent fewer problems in genetically profiled patients. Side effects were recorded and compared to a group of patients without DNA profiles. Patients’ prescriptions were then altered, with the results followed up three months later.
