LPA Gene Coronary Artery Disease Susceptibility to Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the LPA Gene Coronary Artery Disease Susceptibility Genetic Test at a cost of AED 4400.0. This test helps in assessing an individual’s risk of developing coronary artery disease (CAD) by analyzing the LPA gene.
Test Details
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a common cardiovascular disorder characterized by the narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries, which supply oxygen-rich blood to the heart. It is a complex disease caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
The LPA (Lipoprotein(a)) gene codes for a lipoprotein particle in the blood called Lp(a). Elevated levels of Lp(a) have been associated with an increased risk of developing CAD. Lp(a) is believed to contribute to the formation of atherosclerotic plaques in the arteries, leading to the development of CAD.
Our LPA Gene Coronary Artery Disease Susceptibility Genetic Test utilizes NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology. NGS is a high-throughput DNA sequencing technology that allows for the simultaneous sequencing of multiple genes or the entire genome. This test can analyze the LPA gene and identify variations or mutations that may be associated with an increased susceptibility to CAD.
By undergoing this genetic test, individuals can gain insight into their genetic predisposition to CAD. This information can be useful in assessing their risk of developing the disease and may guide preventive measures or lifestyle modifications to reduce the risk.
It is important to note that genetic testing for CAD susceptibility is just one piece of the puzzle. Lifestyle factors such as diet, exercise, smoking, and managing other cardiovascular risk factors (e.g., hypertension, diabetes) also play a significant role in the development of CAD. Therefore, the results of a genetic test should be interpreted in conjunction with other clinical and lifestyle factors to provide a comprehensive assessment of an individual’s risk for CAD.
