Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of mutations in the SOAT1 gene. A positive result suggests an increased genetic risk for atherosclerosis, while a negative result indicates no detected pathogenic variants.
📊

Positive for SOAT1 mutation

Increased risk for atherosclerosis; recommend lifestyle modifications, monitoring, and consultation with a cardiologist or genetic counselor.

📊

Negative for SOAT1 mutation

No detected pathogenic variants; however, other risk factors for atherosclerosis should be evaluated.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If you have a family history of atherosclerosis, experience symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath, or receive a positive test result, consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Risks & Considerations

  • ●Minimal risks associated with blood draw, such as bruising or infection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the SOAT1 gene?
The SOAT1 gene encodes the enzyme acyl-coenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT), which is involved in cholesterol metabolism. Mutations in this gene have been associated with an increased risk of atherosclerosis.
What is atherosclerosis?
Atherosclerosis is a condition where plaque builds up in the arteries, narrowing them and potentially leading to heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular diseases.
Who should consider this genetic test?
Individuals with a family history of atherosclerosis, symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath, or those at high risk for cardiovascular diseases should consider this test.
How is the test performed?
The test uses next-generation sequencing (NGS) to analyze the SOAT1 gene from a blood sample, extracted DNA, or a drop of blood on an FTA card.
What is the cost of the SOAT1 Gene Atherosclerosis NGS Genetic Test in India?
The cost is INR 20000, with free home sample collection available across India.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically delivered within 3 to 4 weeks after sample collection.
What does a positive result mean?
A positive result indicates the presence of a mutation in the SOAT1 gene, which may increase the risk for atherosclerosis. Consult a healthcare provider for further guidance.
Is fasting required for this test?
No, fasting is not required for this genetic test.
Can this test diagnose atherosclerosis?
This test identifies genetic risk factors for atherosclerosis but does not diagnose the condition itself. Diagnosis involves clinical evaluation and other tests like angiography.
What sample types are accepted?
Blood, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card are accepted sample types.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, free home sample collection is available for online bookings across many cities in India.
What should I do before getting tested?
Provide your clinical history and undergo a genetic counseling session to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with atherosclerosis.
