Rightangled provide a consumer genetic testing service which equips patients with cardio-genetic information, enabling clinicians to make informed decisions regarding cardiovascular treatment or lifestyle changes, in turn promoting patient health. To ensure the efficacy of our data, we chose to partner with an accredited genotyping lab which adheres to high standards of quality. Our gene panel list is assayed through a genotyping technology that utilises competitive allele-specific pcr, which enables highly accurate bi-allelic scoring of snps (99.8% accurate) and indels (insertions and deletions) at specific loci across a wide range of genomic DNA samples (snp & indel assay conversion rate 90%), thereby limiting the risk of false-positive and false-negative results. Once this data is processed it is reviewed by our clinical partners, along with patient provided health data, via our online portal in order to generate an accurate interpretation of each individual patient's cardiovascular health.
We make reasonable efforts to ensure that the content on our site is complete, accurate, and up-to-date. We do not, however, make any representation, warranties or guarantees (whether expressed or implied) that the content on our site constitute advice on which you should rely. It is provided for specialist practitioners to better understand the underlying genetic components to your genotype and your non-inherited environmental factors that may affect your health. Therefore, further professional or specialist advice should always be sought before taking any action relating to the planning or delivery of your treatment or care.
