Viewing: Genova Diagnostics CardioGenomic Profile Cheek Swab

Product Name: Genova Diagnostics CardioGenomic Profile Cheek Swab

Description: Genova Diagnostics CardioGenomic Profile Cheek Swab evaluates genetic variations, called single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), in genes that modulate blood pressure regulation, lipid balance, nutrient metabolism, inflammation, and oxidative stress. Mouth Rinse. Not available in New York. No additional fees, no doctors order required.

The test uncovers potential genetic susceptibility to: • Hypercholesteremia • Myocardial Infarction • Atherosclerosis • Thromboses • Obesity • Endothelial Dysfunction • Hypertension • Stroke • Coronary Artery Disease Cholesterol Regulation and Atherosclerosis ApoE (apoliprotein E) CETP (cholesteryl ester transfer protein) SELE (selectin E) These genes affect how the body breaks down and clears fats and how cholesterol is processed. They also affect lipid balance, plaque formation, and blood vessel integrity and function. Methylation MTHFR (methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase) Polymorphisms of this enzyme can disrupt the metabolism of homocysteine, resulting in its accumulation as well as impaired methylation. The presence of these SNPs can increase risk of cardiovascular disease, blood vessel damage, thromboses (blood clots), stroke, and degenerative aging. Hypertension GNB3 (guanine nucleotide-binding protein) AGT (angiotensin) AGTR1 (angiotensin II receptor–1) Polymorphisms of these genes are associated with blood vessel constriction, sodium and water retention, obesity, and increased susceptibility to hypertension. Coagulation Factor 2 (prothrombin) Factor 5 (Leiden) These genetic variants can over-activate blood clotting processes, increasing the risk of sudden cardiac events such as thromboses, heart attacks, and strokes. Reduction-Oxidation Balance CYBA*8 (cytochrome b-245-alpha) This genetic variant mediates the balance between oxidative stress and antioxidant defense in smooth muscle cells lining blood vessels.
