DNA Heart Health Test

$350

Understand your genetic risk of cardiovascular disease.

Do you have a family history of heart attacks? Your genes might increase your risk for cardiovascular disease. Our DNA Heart Health Test identifies genetic variants which are known to influence cardiovascular health.

  • Detects genetic markers related to cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
  • Learn your risk and take steps to guard your heart health.
Cardiovascular Disease

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. These conditions often involve narrowed or blocked blood vessels, leading to chest pain, heart attacks, and strokes.

Factors that can increase your risk:

  • Smoking
  • Sedentary lifestyle
  • Overweight
  • High blood pressure
  • Excessive cholesterol intake
  • Diabetes
  • Drinking too much alcohol
  • Elevated stress levels
  • Genetic factors

While poor lifestyle choices are major contributors, there are also hidden genetic factors that might predispose you to these conditions.

By simply taking a mouth swab, we can analyze your DNA for any genetic markers that might elevate your risk of cardiovascular issues. This knowledge empowers you to better understand and potentially mitigate your heart health risks through preventative health measures.

Variants Tested

Certain genetic variants can influence your risk of cardiovascular disease. Some might increase your risk, while others might protect you.

The Genetrack DNA Cardiovascular Health Test checks for the following variants:

  • ANGPTL4, APOA5, FADS1, GALNT2, HNF4A, LIPG, MMAB – associated with reduced levels of HDL-cholesterol
  • CETP, LCAT, LIPC, LPL – associated with increased levels of HDL-cholesterol
  • APOB, FADS1, LDLR, NCAN, PCSK9, SORT1, SUGP1 – associated with reduced levels of LDL-cholesterol
  • HMGCR, HNF1A, TRIB1 – associated with increased levels of LDL-cholesterol
  • LPA – associated with increased levels of lipoprotein(a)
  • CRP, GCKR – associated with increased levels of C-reactive protein (CRP)
  • APOA5, FADS1, GALNT2, GCKR, NOS3, TRIB1 – associated with increased levels of triglycerides
  • ANGPTL3, LPL, MLXIPL, NCAN – associated with reduced levels of triglycerides
  • 9p21 – associated with reduced control of cell growth
