Pre Test Information:
Before undergoing the SOAT1 Gene Atherosclerosis Genetic Test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient. Additionally, a genetic counseling session will be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by SOAT1 Gene Atherosclerosis. This will help us better understand the genetic implications and provide accurate results.
Test Details:
The SOAT1 (sterol O-acyltransferase 1) gene is responsible for cholesterol metabolism. It encodes an enzyme called ACAT1 (acyl-CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase 1), which plays a crucial role in the esterification of cholesterol. This process leads to the formation of cholesterol esters, which are stored in lipid droplets within cells.
Atherosclerosis is a condition characterized by the buildup of plaque in the arteries, leading to blockages and restricted blood flow. High levels of LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol contribute to the development of atherosclerosis. Research has shown that variations in the SOAT1 gene can influence the risk of developing this condition.
Our SOAT1-related NGS genetic test utilizes advanced sequencing technologies to analyze multiple genes simultaneously. By focusing on the SOAT1 gene and its variants, we can identify specific genetic variations that may increase the risk of atherosclerosis. This information is valuable in assessing an individual’s susceptibility to the condition and can guide personalized treatment and preventive strategies.
It is important to note that genetic testing alone is not sufficient to diagnose or predict atherosclerosis. Other risk factors, such as lifestyle choices and family history, also play a significant role. Therefore, we recommend consulting with a healthcare professional who can interpret the results and provide appropriate guidance and recommendations.
At DNA Labs UAE, we are committed to providing accurate and reliable genetic testing services. Contact us today to schedule your SOAT1 Gene Atherosclerosis Genetic Test and take a proactive step towards understanding your health.

SOAT1 (sterol O-acyltransferase 1) is a gene that plays a role in cholesterol metabolism. It encodes an enzyme called ACAT1 (acyl-CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase 1), which catalyzes the esterification of cholesterol, leading to the formation of cholesterol esters. These cholesterol esters are then stored in lipid droplets within cells. Atherosclerosis is a condition characterized by the buildup of plaque in the arteries, which can lead to blockages and restrict blood flow. High levels of cholesterol, particularly LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol, contribute to the development of atherosclerosis. Research has shown that variations in the SOAT1 gene may influence the risk of developing atherosclerosis. Certain genetic variants of SOAT1 have been associated with increased levels of LDL cholesterol and a higher risk of atherosclerosis. NGS (next-generation sequencing) genetic tests are a type of genetic testing that uses advanced sequencing technologies to analyze multiple genes simultaneously. These tests can provide information about an individual’s genetic makeup and identify any genetic variations or mutations that may be present. A SOAT1-related NGS genetic test specifically focuses on analyzing the SOAT1 gene and its variants. It can help identify specific genetic variations in SOAT1 that may increase the risk of atherosclerosis. This information can be useful in assessing an individual’s susceptibility to developing the condition and may guide personalized treatment and preventive strategies. It’s important to note that genetic testing alone is not sufficient to diagnose or predict atherosclerosis. Other risk factors, such as lifestyle choices and family history, also play a significant role in the development of the condition. Genetic testing should be done in consultation with a healthcare professional who can interpret the results and provide appropriate guidance and recommendations. |
