Take Control of Your Stroke Risk with Advanced Genetic Testing
Are you concerned about your family history of strokes or heart disease? Many South Africans carry genetic predispositions that increase their risk of carotid artery thickening – a silent condition that can lead to devastating strokes without warning. Our PPARG Gene Carotid Intimal Medial Thickness Type 1 NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the answers you need to protect your health and future.
Understanding Your PPARG Gene Carotid Test
This advanced genetic test examines your PPARG gene, which plays a crucial role in regulating blood vessel health and inflammation. When this gene has specific variations, it can lead to increased thickening of your carotid artery walls – the major blood vessels supplying your brain. This thickening (carotid intimal medial thickness) is a powerful predictor of future stroke and cardiovascular events.
Using cutting-edge Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, we analyse your DNA with exceptional accuracy to identify genetic markers that could be putting your health at risk.
Who Should Consider This Important Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience or have:
- Family history of strokes or heart attacks before age 65
- Unexplained dizziness, vision changes, or temporary weakness
- High blood pressure or cholesterol concerns
- Diabetes or metabolic syndrome diagnosis
- Previous concerns about carotid artery health
- Strong family history of cardiovascular disease
- Wanting proactive health management and peace of mind
Why Early Detection Could Save Your Life
Knowing your genetic risk for carotid artery thickening empowers you to:
- Take proactive steps to prevent strokes before they occur
- Make informed lifestyle choices about diet and exercise
- Work with your doctor on targeted prevention strategies
- Reduce anxiety through knowledge and control
- Potentially avoid devastating health consequences
- Protect your brain health and cognitive function
