STROKE RISK TEST

This test provides information about your genetic risk for ischemic stroke

The test will determine your genetic predisposition to strokes based on genetic markers of inflammation in lymphotoxin A gene (LTA). A positive test means that a person has increased genetic predisposition to strokes. Knowing your genetic risk will enable you to take specific actions to decrease your overall risk for strokes. For treatment and prevention guidance you should discuss your test results with your doctor.
