Genes and Conditions

We analyze more than 80 genes, which are associated with over 40 conditions that could indicate a health risk.
Select a gene and see its associated condition:
Heritable thoracic aortic disease (HTAD) -

Gene(s): ACTA2
Condition: Heritable thoracic aortic disease (HTAD)

The aorta is the largest blood vessel in the body: it’s where all the blood being pumped exits the heart. People with HTAD are at risk for developing serious medical complications involving the aorta, including aneurysms and dissections. Both can be life-threatening because they can impair normal blood flow to critical organs like the brain. Aortic aneurysms are bulges in the wall of the aorta. They can cause discomfort or pain (for example in the jaw, neck, chest, or back), shortness of breath, or upper body swelling. These symptoms can be mild or absent, so it is important to use medical imaging to see if an aneurysm is present. If untreated, aortic aneurysms can rupture and lead to serious complications and even death. Aortic dissections are sudden tears in the wall of the aorta and are very severe. Symptoms include sudden chest pain, pale skin, low pulse, and tingling in arms and legs. Immediate emergency medical attention is required if an aortic dissection occurs.

Early prevention

The earlier you know about your risk for these conditions, the sooner you can do something about them. Every condition we test for is one that your doctor can help you prevent and manage — but only if your risks are known.

Trustworthy science

While most DNA tests on the market are “recreational,” Picture is backed by a clinical genetic testing laboratory with CLIA certification and CAP accreditation. That means you’re getting a clinical grade genetic test with results you can trust.

Clear and actionable results

Picture Wellness tests 81 genes associated with cancer, multiple heart-related disorders, and metabolic disorders. These genes are recognized by the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) as medically actionable - conditions you and your doctor can do something about.

Proactive measures

Everyone has genetic variations that make them a little bit different from other humans — it’s what makes us all unique. Picture Wellness identifies variants in your DNA that may be harmful, so you can take proactive measures for your health.

Support at every step

A certified genetic counselor is available to talk to you whenever you need. Need to ask a professional whether this test is right for you? Have questions about your results? We’re here! We want you to come away from this experience empowered.
