Take Control of Your Heart Health: Understand Your Genetic Cholesterol Risk
When high cholesterol runs in your family, the worry can feel overwhelming. You might wonder if you’re next, or if your children will inherit the same health challenges. Our APOA2 Gene Hypercholesterolemia test provides the clarity and peace of mind you deserve. This isn’t just another cholesterol test – it’s a comprehensive genetic analysis that examines the specific gene modifier that influences how familial high cholesterol affects you personally.
What This Test Reveals About Your Health
The APOA2 gene plays a crucial role in how your body processes cholesterol. When this gene has variations, it can modify your risk of developing familial hypercholesterolemia – a condition where high cholesterol runs in families. Our test uses advanced Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to examine this specific gene, giving you precise information about your genetic predisposition.
Unlike standard cholesterol tests that only show current levels, this genetic test reveals your underlying risk factors, allowing for early intervention and personalised prevention strategies.
Is This Test Right for You?
Consider this test 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 cholesterol issues
- Planning a family and concerned about genetic inheritance
- Wanting proactive heart health management
- Previous cholesterol medications with limited success
Many South Africans discover that their cholesterol challenges have a genetic component they never knew about – this test provides that missing piece of your health puzzle.
