Coronary artery disease is largely preventable

Once you have coronary artery disease (CAD), you have it for the rest of your life.

Get ahead of the disease. If you know your risk, you can make proactive changes to prevent the disease from occurring.

Manage your risk before you develop CAD.

Is geneType for Coronary Artery Disease right for you?

GeneType for Coronary Artery Disease is appropriate for:

  • Adults 40-85 years old
  • without a previous diagnosis of CAD

Simple, Actionable Results

GeneType reports help you and your health provider translate your personal clinical, family and genetic data into an actionable preventable health plan.

Key features of the report:

  • Your personal 10-year risk score; this is the chance you develop CAD over the next 10 years. Your healthcare provider will use your risk score to tailor risk-reducing recommendations for you. 
  • Recommendations based on the latest AAC/AHA guidelines; your healthcare provider will discuss these recommendations with you. 

 

Sample patient report
The more you know about your risk, the more you can do to try and prevent CAD.

Personalized risk score. Personalized health plan. 

Risk reducing options exist for adults at borderline, intermediate and high risk of coronary artery disease.

Is this test reimbursed by insurance?

No. At this time geneType is a self-pay test. However, you may use FSA/HSA to pay for the test.

Does this test cover all the coronary artery disease risk factors?

Coronary artery disease is a multifactorial disease and it is not possible to incorporate all potential risk factors into a risk prediction model. Test results should be interpreted by a health provider in the context of your clinical and family history.

I bought a different test online and it is showing I had a high polygenic risk of coronary artery disease, should I retest with geneType?

Yes.

While there are other companies out there that provide random lists of genetic markers that are associated with coronary artery disease, there are no checks and balances associated with the results they provide. Most of the markers they pull from peer-reviewed publications without cross validating the markers. And more importantly, geneType goes through rigorous statistical validation of the genetic component prior to integrating it into the full model. The fully integrated geneType model is then validated separately.

Are there female-specific risk factors incorporated into this test?

No. Even though there are certain CAD risk factors specific to women, like preeclampsia or gestational diabetes, these factors are not currently incorporated into the model. A woman’s age is incorporated into the model and indirectly accounts for post-menopausal changes associated with increased risk of developing CAD. Please make sure you discuss all risk factors with your healthcare providers, including ones that are not in the geneType test.
