Ukuphazamiseka Kwempilo Yengqondo I-Skyrocket Entsha Nabantu Abadala Abancane

Ngemisebenzi elinganiselwe noma engekho yangaphandle isikhathi eside, ukuhlukaniswa, nokuvalwa kwezikole eminyakeni emibili edlule, intsha yaseMelika kanye nabantu abadala bathola ukuthi banenani elingakaze libonwe lezifo zengqondo ngaphambi naphakathi kobhubhane oluqhubekayo lwe-COVID-19. .     

Ukukhetha imithi efanele yokwelapha lezi zimo kungaba nzima njengoba umzimba womuntu wonke kanye nokwakheka kofuzo kuhlukile. Ngenxa yokuthi inqubo yokuthola umuthi ofanele ingaba buhlungu, ikhungathekise, futhi idle isikhathi, odokotela badinga amathuluzi okusiza ekunqumeni ukuthi yimiphi imithi nemithamo engcono kakhulu yokusingatha izimo zengqondo ezifana nokucindezeleka, ukukhathazeka, ne-ADHD kanye nezinye izimo zezokwelapha. Ukuthola umuthi ofanele nakho kungaba yingozi njengoba cishe amaphesenti amahlanu okufa e-US kungenxa yobuthi bezidakamizwa.

I-GENETWORx Laboratories ihlonze leli gebe ezinsizeni zokunakekelwa kwempilo emuva ngo-2013 futhi yaqala ukuvala lelo gebe ngokuhlolwa kwe-pharmacogenetic noma kwe-PGx okusiza odokotela ukuthi bathole imithi efanele kanye nomthamo olungile okokuqala ngqa ngokusekelwe ku-DNA yesiguli.

Okuphinde kubizwe ngokuthi “umuthi womuntu siqu,” ukuhlolwa kwe-PGx manje kusobala ngomthethosivivinywa osanda kwethulwa e-US House of Representatives ebizwa ngokuthi i-Right Drug Right Dose Now Act efuna ukusheshisa imfundo nokusebenzisa ukuhlolwa kwe-pharmacogenetic (PGx) ukusiza ukuvimbela ukusabela kwezidakamizwa kanye nokwenza lula ukuhlanganiswa kolwazi lwe-genomic oluhlobene nokusabela kwezidakamizwa ekunakekelweni kwesiguli.

“Ngaphandle kokwazi ukuthi yimuphi umuthi oyoba ukukhetha okufanele esigulini esiwunikeziwe, kungase kube uvivinyo nephutha kudokotela—bakhetha umuthi ngokusekelwe kokuhlangenwe nakho kwabo kwesikhathi esidlule noma ulwazi olunikeza imithi ngethemba lokuthi umzimba wesiguli usabela ngokuphumelelayo kuwo. Imithi yomuntu siqu esebenzisa ukuhlola kwe-PGx ngokuhlanganyela namanye amathuluzi okuxilonga ithatha ingxenye enkulu yokuqagela ngaphandle kokuphumelela kwemithi,” kusho uDkt. Stacey Blankenship, PharmD., we-GENETWORx Laboratories.

NgokukaDkt. Blankenship, ukwazi izakhi zofuzo zomuntu ngokuhlolwa kwe-PGx kusiza ukuhlonza izidakamizwa umzimba ongakwazi ukuzihlephula futhi uzihlukanise. I-metabolism yomuthi ingaba nemiphumela ebalulekile emthelela wayo wokwelapha noma ubuthi bayo. Ukwenza isibonelo, ukuthi ngabe umuthi uzoguqulwa yini umzimba ngokushesha noma kancane kakhulu ukuze usebenze,” kusho yena.

Ngokusho kocwaningo lwakamuva lweNational Institutes of Health, ukuhlolwa kwe-pharmacogenetic "kunamandla okunciphisa ukugula, ukunciphisa imiphumela emibi evela ekwelapheni, ukuthuthukisa ukusabela kokwelashwa, ukwehlisa ukulaliswa kweziguli ezilalisiwe kanye nokubuyiselwa kabusha ngenxa yokuntuleka kokusebenza kahle noma imiphumela emibi, kanye nezindleko zokunakekelwa isiguli kanye nomndeni waso.”

Ukuhlolwa kwe-PGx akukona ukusebenzisa i-swab elula esihlathini sesiguli. Ingasetshenziswa yinoma yisiphi isiguli esithatha imithi yakho kokubili izifo zengqondo nezokwelapha. Odokotela basebenzisa ukuhlolwa kwe-GENETWORx PGx ukuze bazise izinqumo zabo zemithi ezigulini ezihlelelwe ukuhlinzwa, ezigulini ezisakhula ezithola imithi eminingi ezindaweni zokuhlala ezisizwayo, kanye nezinye izifo eziningi zezokwelapha kanye nokuxilongwa kwezempilo kokuziphatha. Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-Medicare ingase ihlanganise ukuhlolwa kwezimo eziningi njengoba kwenza abaningi bomshuwalense wangasese.

“Kuyithuluzi elingavamile ngempela elinikeza umhlinzeki nesiguli ukuzethemba okwengeziwe kokuthi umuthi ofanele uqokwe okokuqala,” kusho u-Blankenship.
