Geneticure® Hypertension Panel

Hypertension is the leading preventable cause of death in the Western world. Geneticure’s patented test uses a sample of your DNA to recommend the hypertension medication(s) that may give you the most significant drop in blood pressure. In doing so reducing your chance of stroke and/or heart attack.

Your body, and your DNA, is unique. Doctors don’t know if a blood pressure medication will work until you try it. If it doesn’t work, they might add or try another. This trial-and-error costs time and money. Some medications can even make your blood pressure go up!

Geneticure’s test looks at 17 genotypes and 11 genes to determine how your body responds to each medication. These specially selected genes are ones that impact your cardiac, vascular and renal function. Your personalised report helps your doctor prescribe the right medication from the start.

Once you order your test, you’ll receive a cheek swab kit with clear, step-by-step instructions. Collect your sample at home, pop it into the prepaid courier pack, and send it back — it’s that easy. Your sample is processed in our ISO-accredited lab, then securely analysed by our partners at Geneticure in Rochester, Minnesota. Your results are turned into a clear, personalised report and delivered straight to you.
