Test Overview & Methodology
The ITIH4 Gene NGS Test identifies genetic susceptibility to hypercholesterolemia by analysing the ITIH4 gene using next-generation sequencing. This test enables early cardiovascular risk stratification and personalised prevention strategies based on inherited DNA variants.
| Feature | Our Test (ITIH4 NGS) | Standard Fasting Lipid Panel |
|---|---|---|
| Methodology | Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) | Enzymatic Colorimetric / Biochemical |
| Diagnostic Precision | 99.9% sensitivity for pathogenic variants | Quantitative lipid levels only; no genetic insight |
| Turnaround Time | 3โ4 Weeks | Same Day |
| Clinical Value | Lifelong genetic risk assessment, family cascade screening | Snapshot of current cholesterol; no inherited risk data |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
โGenetic susceptibility testing for hypercholesterolemia via NGS analysis of the ITIH4 gene provides a precise molecular layer for cardiovascular risk assessment. I strongly advise patients to interpret these results within the context of their full clinical profile and family history for optimal preventive care.โ

Important Medication Advisory
Do not discontinue prescribed cholesterol-lowering medication or modify your treatment plan without consulting your doctor. This test provides inherited risk information and is not a replacement for ongoing clinical care or prescribed therapy.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Known severe bleeding disorders (e.g., haemophilia) or current anticoagulant therapy with INR instability.
- Active febrile illness or acute infection requiring hospitalisation.
- Inability to provide informed consent or follow pre-test genetic counselling requirements.
- If you experience crushing chest pain, sudden shortness of breath, or loss of consciousness, call 998 immediatelyโdo not wait for test results.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What does the ITIH4 gene test detect?
Answer: This NGS test detects specific DNA variants in the ITIH4 gene linked to inherited high cholesterol, enabling precise cardiovascular risk stratification through genomic analysis.
2. Can I take this test if I am already on statins?
Answer: Yes, medication does not alter your DNA; the test detects inherited risk regardless of current cholesterol-lowering therapy. Continue your prescribed medication exactly as directed by your physician.
3. How should I prepare for the sample collection?
Answer: No fasting is required; simply attend the pre-test genetic counselling session to complete your pedigree chart and provide clinical history.
4. What is the turnaround time for results?
Answer: Results are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks from sample receipt due to the comprehensive nature of NGS analysis and variant interpretation.
