Take Control of Your Heart Health with Advanced Genetic Testing
If high cholesterol runs in your family, you know the constant worry about heart health. That nagging concern every time you hear about someone’s heart attack or stroke – could it happen to you too? Our EPHX2 gene test provides the answers you need to break the cycle of uncertainty and take proactive steps toward protecting your cardiovascular health.
Understanding Your EPHX2 Genetic Test
This specialised test examines the EPHX2 gene, which plays a crucial role in modifying how familial hypercholesterolemia affects your body. When LDL receptor defects run in your family, the EPHX2 gene can influence how severely these cholesterol issues impact your health. Our advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology provides the most accurate analysis available, giving you and your doctor clear, actionable information about your genetic risk profile.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Family history of early heart attacks or strokes (before age 55 in men, 65 in women)
- Multiple family members with high cholesterol despite healthy lifestyles
- Personal cholesterol levels that remain high despite medication and diet changes
- Yellowish cholesterol deposits around eyes or tendons (xanthomas)
- Concern about passing cholesterol issues to your children
- Unexplained cardiovascular issues in otherwise healthy family members
Why This Test Matters for Your Health Future
Early detection through genetic testing can be life-changing. Understanding your EPHX2 gene status helps your healthcare team:
- Create personalised prevention strategies tailored to your genetic risk
- Determine the most effective cholesterol management approach
- Reduce anxiety about unknown genetic risks
- Make informed decisions about family planning
- Potentially prevent serious cardiovascular events through early intervention
- Provide peace of mind through scientific certainty
