Epi+Gen CHD™ is a clinical test that assesses the 3-year risk for a coronary heart disease (CHD) event. CHD is the most common type of heart disease and the primary cause of heart attacks. This highly sensitive and accessible blood test that profiles a panel of genetic and epigenetic biomarkers is radiation-free, does not require fasting, and can be conducted remotely or in provider settings.
In a peer-reviewed study done in collaboration with Intermountain Healthcare and published in Epigenomics in June 2021¹, Epi+Gen CHD™ demonstrated a 76% and 78% sensitivity for men and women, respectively, for 3-year CHD event risk prediction compared to the average sensitivity of the lipid-based Framingham Risk Score and ASCVD Pooled Cohort Equation tests that was 44% sensitive for men and 32% sensitive for women.
