🧬 Genetic Risk Test for Blood Clots (DNA)

Genetic risk test for blood clots helps to identify hereditary susceptibility

A genetic risk test for blood clots assesses whether you have hereditary factors that increase susceptibility to deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). The result provides advance information to support decision-making and helps to take risks into account in everyday life, travel and training.

Who is the test suitable for?

• 🏃 For athletes: high-intensity training, dehydration and injuries can increase the risk of thrombosis – a hereditary tendency to reinforce this.

• ✈️ For air passengers: long flights and immobility expose you to blockages; It is a good idea to find out the genetic risk in advance.

• Blockages in the family: if there is a family history of blood clots, the hereditary risk may be elevated. 👨 👩 👧

Why you should take the test
