Genetic tests can help predict patients' response to medication. This study aimed to evaluate clinicians' and patients' perceptions of these genetic tests. Pediatric patients, with epilepsy, were tested and completed a survey to assess their perception of these tests. A survey was also completed by their community pharmacists, and virtual discussion groups were held with hospital pharmacists and neurologists. Most participants had a positive view of these tests, with three major themes identified from the discussion groups: receptiveness to testing, test characteristics and integration of tests into practice. The views reported are encouraging for the eventual implementation of these tests in practice, an essential step to improve patient care through personalized medicine.
