SINGAPORE - It was only in 2022 that scientists found that most Singaporeans have at least one faulty gene that can react poorly with a drug.
This finding was made after the Republic mapped the DNA of 10,000 Singaporeans.
......
one in four Singaporeans carries a variant that raises the risk of life-threatening side effects to at least one medication.
A 2016 study found that 30 per cent of adverse drug reaction cases admitted to Singapore General Hospital were preventable.
To prevent patients from getting ill from avoidable side effects, three researchers have devised a process to screen for a panel of genes that could lead to a bad reaction to medications.
