ABCA1 Gene and Coronary Artery Disease in Familial Hypercholesterolemia

Coronary artery disease is a common type of heart disease that occurs when the blood vessels that supply the heart with oxygen and nutrients become damaged or diseased. Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a genetic disorder that causes high levels of cholesterol in the blood, increasing the risk of coronary artery disease. The ABCA1 gene plays a crucial role in regulating cholesterol levels in the body.

ABCA1 gene mutations can lead to a decrease in the production of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, also known as "good" cholesterol. This can result in the buildup of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, or "bad" cholesterol, in the blood. LDL cholesterol can accumulate in the walls of the arteries, leading to the development of atherosclerosis, or the hardening and narrowing of the arteries. This can ultimately lead to coronary artery disease.

DNA Labs India offers a Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) genetic DNA test to diagnose FH and identify ABCA1 gene mutations. The test costs INR 20000 and can provide valuable information about an individual's risk for coronary artery disease and FH. Symptoms of FH include high levels of LDL cholesterol, family history of heart disease, and premature heart disease in family members.

If you or a loved one have symptoms of FH or are at risk for coronary artery disease, it is important to get tested. DNA Labs India's NGS genetic DNA test can provide accurate and reliable results to help protect against this condition.

Don't wait until it's too late. Contact DNA Labs India today to learn more about our NGS genetic DNA test and protect yourself against coronary artery disease in familial hypercholesterolemia.
