Genetic DNA Test Estrogenomic Profile
Oestrogen Metabolism
The metabolism of oestrogen is an important process that involves phase 1 and 2 enzymes of the liver which are responsible for the formation of pro- and anti-carcinogenic metabolites as well as their removal. Raised levels of these metabolites could be indicated in an increased risk of breast cancer and osteoporosis.
Coagulation
Variations and mutations of genes that are responsible for the interaction of oestrogen with clot formation and fibrinolysis process can over-activate blood clotting processes. Therefore increasing the risk of sudden cardiac events such as thrombosis, heart attacks, and strokes.
Cardiovascular
These genes affect how the body processes cholesterol, responds to inflammation, and metabolizes B vitamins. The presence of these SNPs can increase risk of cardiovascular disease, hyperlipidemia, and blood vessel damage.
This profile covers the genetic susceptibility to the following diseases and conditions:
- Breast cancer
- Osteoporosis
- Thrombosis
- Strokes
- Atherosclerosis
- Heart Disease
