Do you know which factors influence your risk of coronary artery disease?

Watch now

Learn more about the geneType™ coronary artery disease test which goes beyond hereditary risk, looking at genetic and clinical risk factors to give you a comprehensive risk prediction so that you can take preventative steps to improve health and mitigate your risk.

Coronary artery disease is largely preventable2

It is with a comprehensive risk assessment that you and your health provider may be able to enable effective management of modifiable risk factors.1

Is geneType™ for Coronary Artery Disease right for you?

geneType™ for Coronary Artery Disease is appropriate for:

  • Adults 40-85 years old

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

Unlike other tests, your test results are provided in simple language that you can understand.

Key features of the report:

  • 10-year risk score your health provider may use to tailor risk-reducing recommendations for you
  • Recommendations based on the latest AAC/AHA guidelines

 

Personalised risk score. Personalised 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.
