Stroke Susceptibility
Stroke is a multifactorial condition, as both genetic and non-genetic factors are likely to play a role in the development of the disease. Families in which there are multiple affected, close family members are more likely to have a significant genetic component.
Clinical genetic testing for stroke susceptibility is currently unavailable.
Thrombophilia Panel
This panel consists of genetic testing for two or three conditions depending on the provider: Factor V Leiden, Prothrombin II and MTHFR. Each of these tests are also available separately.
This testing is for medical, clinical purposes.
This testing is available online at the Direct to Consumer Genetic Testing providers listed below.
This testing is also available through offline genetic testing providers if indicated by further evaluation and consultation with a trained genetic professional. Use the zip code search box to find a trained genetic professional in your area.
Thrombosis (as part of Whole Genome Scan)
Testing for susceptibility to thrombosis may also be available as part of a whole genome scan.
Whole genome scanning looks for SNPs that are present throughout the entire genome that have been linked to susceptibility to a number of different health conditions and physical traits. A SNP is a genetic change in which one "letter" of DNA differs from the usual "letter" at that point in the DNA sequence. The number of conditions, traits, and SNPs tested for varies by provider.
Whole genome scanning is for informational purposes only and is not a medical (clinical) genetic test.
This testing is available online through the Direct to Consumer Genetic Testing providers listed below. A consultation with a trained genetic professional may be useful.

Atrial Fibrillation (as part of Whole Genome Scan)
Informational genetic testing for atrial fibrillation susceptibility may also be available as part of a whole genome scan. Whole genome scanning looks for SNPs that are present throughout the entire genome that have been linked to susceptibility to a number of different health conditions and physical traits. A SNP is a genetic change in which one "letter" of DNA differs from the usual "letter" at that point in the DNA sequence. The number of conditions, traits, and SNPs tested for varies by provider.
Whole genome scanning is for informational purposes only and is not a medical (clinical) genetic test. As such, other types of genetic testing may be more informative.

Familial Atrial Fibrillation
Clinical genetic testing for familial atrial fibrillation looks for mutations in different genes causing the disease.
This testing is for medical, clinical purposes.
This testing is only available through offline genetic testing providers if indicated by further evaluation and consultation with a trained genetic professional. Use the zip code search box to find a trained genetic professional in your area.
