What genes does the heart test screen for?

This test screens for 83 genes that increase your risk of developing some of the most common types of heart disease - including arrhythmia, cardiomyopathy, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and thrombophilia. Some common examples include:

MYBPC3, MYH7, FHL1

Cardiomyopathy

ACVRL1, BMPR2, ENG, GDF2, SERPINC1, SMAD4

High blood pressure

What genes does the heart test screen for?

What can I do with the heart test results?

Your test results identify any gene variations found and provide a tailored action plan to reduce your risk or prevent heart disease.

  • Medicare funded screening programs to detect cancer early, when its treatable
  • Proactive lifestyle changes to help prevent heart disease
  • Access to risk reducing medications
  • In some cases, preventive surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens to my sample once the test is completed?

Your saliva sample is destroyed after 30 days. In unusual cases when testing takes longer than 30 days, the specimen will be retained until the report is delivered.

I don't have a family history of heart disease, is this still relevant for me?

Yes. Even if you don’t have a family history you could still have a genetic risk that increases your own risk. Not everyone who carries an increased risk gene variant will develop heart disease, so not every family will have a history of heart disease.

How is my data stored and shared?

As a healthcare company, we comply with the most stringent local and international privacy and security regulations. We take incredible care to use technical, process and physical safeguards to secure your personal information and protect it against misuse, loss or alteration.

Finally, Eugene doesn’t share any of your data with anyone but you, the lab, and (with your express permission) your doctor. 

What ongoing care is available once I have my test results?

Each test comes with a consult with a Eugene genetic counsellor to discuss your results and any options you want to consider. If you’d like, we’ll also provide specialist referrals to support your ongoing care or forward your results to your GP or specialist.

How is my screening and prevention plan personalised?

Your prevention and screening plan depends on the gene variations found. Each variation affects your risk differently and so the best approach to prevention and screening can be different.

Our genetic counsellor and physician team reviews your test results and your personal & family history to create tailored screening and prevention measures that you and your doctor can act on.

If needed, we’ll also provide specialist referrals to support your ongoing care.

What variant types are reported?

This test focuses on genetic variants that are known to significantly increase the risk of developing a disease, ensuring you get clear and actionable insights. We may also share information on genetic variants that moderately affect your risk.

We don’t report on genetic variants with uncertain clinical impact, known as variants of uncertain significance (VUS), because they can’t be acted upon within a medical setting. Our goal is to provide you with information that empowers you to make informed decisions about your health.
