Gastroesophageal Reflux
Conditions
Brief summary
This study will use a 22 gene pharmacogenomics panel on 30 children with persistent Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) who have not responded to therapy.
Detailed description
This study will assess the clinical utility of pharmacogenomics testing in the clinical management of children with refractory GERD, despite adequate therapy and the role of pharmacogenomics in selecting the right acid suppressive therapy based on each patient's symptoms and pharmacogenomics results.
