What can GtCVD help you?
The World Health Organization pointed out that cardiomyopathy (diseases of the heart muscle) is the world’s biggest killer, accounting for a combined 17 million deaths annually, which equals to 31% of the global death toll. The death rate which caused by cardiomyopathy can be compared to cancers.At present, the number of people which suffered from the cardiovascular diseases are significantly increased. Besides the lack of exercises and unhealthy diet, genetics also play an important role. Nowadays people are getting conscious about curing and preventing of heart diseases.
Oxford now offers GtCVD genetic testing, using the Next Generation Technology (NGS), the latest genetic technology, to screen through 426,990 SNP and focus on 62 genes that are highly related to cardiomyopathy, helping you to understand all inherited information related to cardiomyopathy.
If your relatives or any elderly in your family do have cardiomyopathy, it indicates that you are in the risk group of cardiomyopathy, even though it does not mean that you will necessarily get cardiomyopathy. We suggest you to consult with physicians or genetic consultants, fully understand your family history.
GtCVD helps you to discover the cancer history of your family, and plan a health management plan for the family.
Cardiovascular Disease Genetic Testing, GtCVD
Content
Based on more than 62 genes that are highly related to cardiomyopathy, we screen more than 426,990 SNP.
Technology
Next Generation Sequencing
Participants
Those who have a family history of cardiomyopathy and related diseases.
Those who are under stress, irregular lifestyle, and lack of exercise.
Those who have the concept of preventive medication.
Those who are under stress, irregular lifestyle, and lack of exercise.
Those who have the concept of preventive medication.
Significance
Informing risk of getting cardiomyopathy.
Those who have the concept of preventive medication. From the aspect of genetics, the participants get to master the genetic information, assisting in health management, and strengthen the preventive measures.
Understand the family history of cardiomyopathy, avoiding the inherited cardiomyopathy threatens family members.

Understand the family history of cardiomyopathy, avoiding the inherited cardiomyopathy threatens family members.
Concept of Analysis
The results of screening will compare with Human Genome version 19 (hg19), and the participants are informed the risk of cancer based on the open dataset: dbSNP, COSMIC, ClinVar and OMIM.
