Take Control of Your Heart Health with Genetic Insight
Living with the worry of high cholesterol and heart disease running in your family can be overwhelming. You’ve seen loved ones struggle, and you wonder if you’re next. The PPP1R17 Gene Hypercholesterolemia Susceptibility Test gives you the power to understand your genetic risk, so you can take proactive steps to protect your heart health and live with greater peace of mind.
What This Test Reveals About Your Health
The PPP1R17 gene plays a crucial role in cholesterol regulation within your body. When this gene has variations, it can significantly increase your susceptibility to developing hypercholesterolemia – persistently high cholesterol levels that dramatically raise your risk of heart disease and stroke. Our advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your DNA to identify these genetic markers, providing you with clear, actionable information about your inherited cholesterol risks.
Is This Test Right for You?
This test is particularly important if you experience any of these concerns:
- Family history of high cholesterol or early heart disease
- Unexplained high cholesterol levels despite healthy lifestyle
- Multiple family members with cardiovascular issues
- Personal concerns about inherited heart health risks
- Planning for long-term cardiovascular health management
Many South Africans discover they have genetic predispositions they never knew about, allowing them to take control before serious health issues develop.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Future
Knowing your genetic risk empowers you to make informed decisions about your health. Early detection means:
- Proactive cholesterol management before damage occurs
- Personalised prevention strategies tailored to your genetic profile
- Reduced anxiety about unknown health risks
- Opportunity for early intervention and lifestyle adjustments
- Peace of mind for you and your family
Patients who understand their genetic risks often feel more in control of their health journey and make more confident healthcare decisions.
Understanding Your Results with Confidence
When your results are ready in 3-4 weeks, our team provides clear, comprehensive explanations you can understand. We don’t just give you data – we give you context and guidance. Your report will clearly indicate whether you have genetic variations associated with hypercholesterolemia susceptibility, and our genetic counsellors are available to help you understand what this means for your health management strategy.
Remember: A positive result doesn’t mean you’ll definitely develop high cholesterol, but it does mean you can take targeted preventive measures to significantly reduce your risks.
Affordable Genetic Testing for Peace of Mind
| Test Option | Regular Price | Special Price | Savings |
