Test Description

Cardiovascular disease (CVD), including heart attack and stroke, is closely linked to cholesterol levels. High LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and elevated triglycerides can lead to blocked arteries and increase CVD risk.

The APOE gene plays a key role in cholesterol metabolism and influences both your genetic risk of CVD and your response to diet and medication. This DNA test analyzes your APOE genotype, helping you make informed decisions to manage your heart health. A simple mouth swab is all it takes to gain these valuable insights.
