Resource Centre
Our aim is to provide easy access to the latest, most credible information about pharmacogenomics in the UK. From in-depth articles explaining the science behind PGx to training courses for healthcare professionals, our Resource Center is designed to educate, inform and empower individuals and practitioners alike.
OMEPRAZOLE: WHY IT WORKS BRILLIANTLY FOR SOME AND NOT FOR OTHERS
Omeprazole is one of the most commonly prescribed medications in the UK. It’s used to reduce stomach acid and is widely given for reflux, indigestion, gastritis and ulcer prevention.

Clopidogrel, Stroke Prevention & Pharmacogenomics
Studies show that 30% of individuals have genetic variants that prevent Clopidogrel, a commonly prescribed medication for stroke & heart attack prevention, from working.
NHS England: Clopidogrel & PGx
Some individuals have genetic variants in the CYP2C19 gene, which can have an impact on the efficacy of clopidogrel, a stroke-prevention drug.
