Take Control of Your Heart Health: Understand Your Genetic Risk for Familial Hypercholesterolemia
If high cholesterol runs in your family, you know the constant worry about heart health. That nagging concern every time you hear about someone having a heart attack or stroke. Our LDLR Gene Hypercholesterolemia DNA Test gives you the clarity and peace of mind you deserve. For only ZAR 6,700, discover if you carry the genetic mutation that causes dangerously high cholesterol levels – knowledge that could literally save your life.
What This Test Reveals About Your Heart Health
This advanced genetic test specifically examines the LDLR gene, which controls how your body processes cholesterol. When this gene has mutations, it causes familial hypercholesterolemia – a condition where cholesterol builds up in your blood vessels from a young age, dramatically increasing your risk of early heart disease.
Using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, we provide the most accurate analysis available, detecting even the smallest genetic variations that could impact your cardiovascular health.
Is This Test Right for You?
Consider this test if you experience:
- Family history of high cholesterol or early heart disease
- Personal cholesterol levels above 7.5 mmol/L despite healthy lifestyle
- Yellowish cholesterol deposits around eyes or tendons (xanthomas)
- Family members who had heart attacks before age 55 (men) or 65 (women)
- Unexplained high cholesterol in children or young adults
Many South Africans carry this genetic risk without knowing it – early detection is your best defence.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Future
Knowing your genetic status empowers you to:
- Prevent heart attacks and strokes through early intervention
- Receive personalised treatment tailored to your genetic profile
- Protect your children through family screening and early prevention
- Reduce anxiety by replacing uncertainty with actionable knowledge
- Save on future healthcare costs by preventing serious complications
