Take Control of Your Heart Health Journey
We understand the worry that comes when high cholesterol runs in your family. That nagging concern every time you hear about heart conditions affecting loved ones – it’s a burden no one should carry alone. Our PCSK9 Gene Test provides the clarity and peace of mind you deserve, helping you break the cycle of inherited high cholesterol and protect your cardiovascular future.
Understanding Your Genetic Heart Health
This advanced genetic test specifically examines your PCSK9 gene, which plays a crucial role in how your body manages cholesterol levels. When this gene has specific variations, it can lead to autosomal dominant type 3 hypercholesterolemia – a hereditary condition that significantly increases your risk of early heart disease. Unlike routine cholesterol checks that show current levels, our test reveals your underlying genetic predisposition, giving you years of advance warning to take protective measures.
Is This Test Right for You?
Consider this test if you experience:
- Family history of early heart attacks or strokes (before age 55 in men, 65 in women)
- Multiple relatives with high cholesterol despite healthy lifestyles
- Personal cholesterol levels that remain high despite diet and exercise
- Yellowish cholesterol deposits around eyes or tendons (xanthomas)
- Planning pregnancy and concerned about passing genetic risks to children
- Unexplained cardiovascular issues in otherwise healthy family members
Transform Your Heart Health Future
Early detection through genetic testing empowers you to:
- Implement targeted prevention strategies years before symptoms appear
- Receive personalised medication recommendations if needed
- Make informed lifestyle choices with genetic insights
- Reduce anxiety through definitive answers about your risk
- Protect future generations through family planning guidance
- Potentially avoid costly heart procedures through early intervention
Understanding Your Results with Confidence
We know waiting for genetic results can be stressful. That’s why our comprehensive genetic counselling session helps you understand exactly what to expect. Your results will clearly indicate whether you carry the PCSK9 gene variation, and our medical team will walk you through every detail. Whether your result is positive or negative, you’ll receive personalised guidance on next steps, lifestyle recommendations, and if needed, referral to specialist cardiologists who understand genetic heart conditions.
