CVD is the leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for over 30% of all deaths. While lifestyle factors like physical inactivity, poor diet, and smoking increase risk, certain inherited genetic variants can also significantly predispose individuals to heart disease independent of lifestyle choices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eGenes Tested and Their Effects\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduced HDL cholesterol: ANGPTL4, APOA5, FADS1, GALNT2, HNF4A, LIPG, MMAB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElevated HDL cholesterol: CETP, LCAT, LIPC, LPL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduced LDL cholesterol: APOB, FADS1, LDLR, NCAN, PCSK9, SORT1, SUGP1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElevated LDL cholesterol: HMGCR, HNF1A, TRIB1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElevated lipoprotein(a): LPA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElevated C-reactive protein (CRP): CRP, GCKR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElevated triglycerides: APOA5, FADS1, GALNT2, GCKR, NOS3, TRIB1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduced triglycerides: ANGPTL3, LPL, MLXIPL, NCAN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDecreased control of cell proliferation: 9p21\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Cardiovascular Risk Factors Explained\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCholesterol (HDL and LDL): HDL cholesterol helps remove LDL cholesterol from arteries.
