Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is a genetic condition that can lead to life-threatening hemolysis in both children and adults. Early and accurate diagnosis is critical, but identifying G6PD deficiency in newborns and young children isn’t always straightforward—most reference intervals are based on adult values, which don’t necessarily apply to pediatric patients. In this interview, Dr. Kelly Doyle, an ARUP medical director of Special Chemistry, Endocrinology, and Mass Spe...

An Interview With Dr. Yuan Ji: Bringing Pharmacogenomics Into Mainstream Clinical Practice
Due to genetic variation, patients metabolize and respond to medications in vastly different ways, so why do most drug therapy regimens continue to be one-size-fits-all? In this interview, Dr. Yuan Ji, ARUP’s section chief of Molecular Genetics and Genomics, discusses how currently available genetic tests can be used to improve both the safety and effectiveness of pharmacotherapy.
