- Cholesterol Test Full Lipid Profile
£49 Cholesterol Test Full Lipid Profile £49 < Back Cholesterol Test Full Lipid Profile High cholesterol does not cause symptoms. You can only find out if you have it from a blood test. High cholesterol levels can cause your arteries to become blocked - leading to coronary heart disease, heart attack or stroke. Finding out about high levels of cholesterol can help you to make the positive lifestyle and dietary changes needed to improve your chances of a long and healthy life. A 5 minute finger prick test can measure your levels of HDL, LDL, non- HDL cholestrol, triglycerides & total cholesterol. This can help determine your risk of heart disease. Biomarkers: Total Cholesterol is a measurement of the total amount of cholesterol in the blood. This includes low-density and high-density lipoprotein cholesterols. Cholesterol is used to produce hormones for development, growth, and reproduction. High High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is a form of cholesterol which is considered ‘good’ cholesterol because it helps remove cholesterol from the heart’s arteries. Low Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is considered ‘bad’ cholesterol because it contributes to cholesterol build-up and blockage in the arteries. Total Cholesterol: HDL Ratio is a mathematical calculation that indicates the ratio of total cholesterol versus ‘good’ (HDL) cholesterol in the blood. Triglyceride is another type of fat (not the same as cholesterol) found in the bloodstream.

- Genetic Prostate Cancer Risk
£579 < Back Genetic Prostate Cancer Risk £579 Description: If a mutation is identified in a known prostate cancer risk gene, it indicates an increased risk compared to the general population. However, it doesn't guarantee you will develop cancer. The specific gene mutated and your family history can influence the risk level. In the same way, if no mutations are found this does not guarantee that you will not develop prostate cancer from other risk factors or unknown genetic variations. Gene List: ATM (Ataxia Telangiectasia Mutated): This gene plays a critical role in the DNA damage response pathway. When DNA damage occurs, ATM helps to activate cell cycle arrest and DNA repair mechanisms. Mutations in ATM can cause ataxia-telangiectasia, a rare genetic disorder characterized by progressive neurological problems, immune deficiencies, and an increased risk of cancer. BRCA1 (Breast Cancer Gene 1): This well-known tumour suppressor gene plays a critical role in DNA repair. Mutations in BRCA1 significantly increase the risk of breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and some other cancers. BRCA2 (Breast Cancer Gene 2): Similar to BRCA1, BRCA2 is another tumour suppressor gene involved in DNA repair. Mutations in BRCA2 also significantly increase the risk of breast cancer and ovarian cancer, as well as other cancers. CHEK2 (Checkpoint Kinase 2): This gene plays a role in DNA damage response and cell cycle arrest. CHEK2 helps to activate repair mechanisms when DNA damage occurs and can also trigger cell death if the damage is too severe. Mutations in CHEK2 can increase the risk of various cancers, including breast cancer and colon cancer. EPCAM (Epithelial Cell Adhesion Molecule): This gene encodes a protein present on the surface of epithelial cells. EPCAM is not directly involved in cancer development but is a commonly used marker for identifying and isolating epithelial cancer cells in diagnostic tests. MSH6 , MLH1 & MSH2 : These genes are all involved in DNA mismatch repair (MMR), a critical process for correcting errors that occur during DNA replication. Mutations in any of these genes can impair MMR, leading to increased mutations and a higher risk of developing certain cancers NBN (Nibrin): This gene encodes a protein involved in the DNA damage response pathway. NBN helps to activate cell cycle arrest and DNA repair mechanisms when DNA damage occurs. Mutations in NBN can disrupt this response, leading to increased genomic instability and a higher risk of developing cancers, such as breast cancer and leukaemia. PALB2 (Partner and Localizer of BRCA2): This gene encodes a protein that interacts with BRCA2, a well-known tumour suppressor gene involved in DNA repair. PALB2 helps BRCA2 function correctly in DNA repair processes. Mutations in PALB2 can increase the risk of breast cancer and other cancers like BRCA2 mutations but with a generally lower penetrance (likelihood of developing cancer). PMS2 : This gene checks for errors in cell division and works with other proteins to repair them. Sometimes, mistakes (mutations) can occur in the PMS2 gene. These variations can weaken the PMS2 protein or prevent it from working correctly. This can lead to uncorrected errors in the DNA blueprints, which over time might increase the risk of certain cancers, particularly colorectal cancer (cancer of the colon and rectum) and endometrial cancer (cancer of the lining of the uterus). This is known as Lynch syndrome RAD51D: This gene plays a vital role in a process called DNA double-strand repair, a process that fixes severe breaks in DNA Blueprints, which are essential for maintaining healthy cells. Mutations in the RAD51D gene can affect its ability to function correctly. This can hinder the cell's ability to repair DNA double-strand breaks effectively. Over time, this might increase the risk of developing certain cancers, particularly breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and pancreatic cancer. HOXB13: The two main roles of this gene are skin development and maintenance and potential tumour suppressor. sometimes, changes (mutations) can occur in the HOXB13 gene. These variations might: Affect its role in skin development, potentially leading to skin conditions (although this is less well-understood). Impair its tumour suppressor function, potentially increasing the risk of certain cancers, particularly prostate cancer. TP53 (Tumour Protein 53): This well-known tumour suppressor gene encodes a protein called p53, often referred to as the "guardian of the genome" due to its critical role in DNA repair, cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis (programmed cell death). Mutations in TP53 are the most common genetic alterations found in human cancers and can contribute to various types of cancer. TP53 mutations or loss of p53 function is a biomarker used in cancer diagnosis and prognosis. Estimated Turnaround times: 6 Weeks Note: This service is only available to the age of 13 and above.

- Genetic Haemochromotosis
£129 < Back Genetic Haemochromotosis £129 Description: Detection of polymorphisms p.His63Asp, p.Ser65Cys and p.Cys282Tyr in the HFE gene associated with Haemochromatosis. Confirmatory diagnostic genetic testing to diagnose or rule out HH should be carried out for symptomatic individuals with biochemical evidence of iron overload. Gene List: HFE - The HFE gene is like your body's iron gatekeeper. It controls how much iron gets absorbed from your food and stored in your body. Imagine it as a security guard at a storage facility for iron. The normal HFE gene ensures that your body has enough iron for its important functions but not too much that it becomes harmful to you. The following Variations of this gene are mutations and have the following effects: C282Y: This is the most common variation and can significantly mess up the instructions. It might tell the guard to let in way too much iron. H63D and S65C: These are less common variations and may cause milder confusion, potentially leading to a smaller increase in iron absorption. Estimated Turnaround times: 7 Days Note: This service is only available to the age of 13 and above. During booking, only a £30 deposit is required , which will be deducted from the total cost. The remaining payment will be collected at a later stage. Any cancellation, rescheduling, or missed appointment within 48 hours of the scheduled time will result in the loss of the £30 deposit.

- Pregnancy Beta HCG Quantitative
£69 Pregnancy Beta HCG Quantitative £69 < Back Pregnancy Beta HCG Quantitative What can I expect from this Pregnancy Test - Beta HCG? This is a quantitative Beta HCG test that can identify whether you are pregnant or not. It can also be used to monitor how your pregnancy is progressing on a weekly basis. This test is more sensitive than a urine pregnancy test allowing you to confirm pregnancy earlier. What is the difference between the blood test and the standard urine test? Whilst both tests measure beta HCG levels, studies have shown that the blood test allows for earlier detection of pregnancy as it is more sensitive. Typically, the urine test is best done 1 week after a missed period as before this time the accuracy is limited. There is also a higher chance of a false positive result. The added benefit of this beta HCG blood test (quantitative) is that it is able to tell you how far along the pregnancy is. Repeated testing can tell you if the pregnancy is progressing at the expected level and potentially identify issues. What potential issues can this test identify? If the level of HCG is low or the trend is declining then this can be an indication of miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy. However, this is not diagnostic and would require a detailed review with your doctor. If the level of HCG is high or the trend is increasing at a rate faster than expected then this can be an indication of multiple pregnancy (twins etc) or Molar pregnancy. However, this is not diagnostic and would require a detailed review with your doctor. What else can this beta HCG blood test be used for? Fertility clinics can use HCG injections to help increase the chances of IVF or IUI being successful. Therefore, this test can also be used to monitor your levels if you are going through this process. Biomarkers: Beta-hCG , The test checks for a hormone called human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG). This is produced in the placenta around 6 days after an egg is fertilised and can be detected in both blood and urine. Estimated turnaround time: 2-5 Working Days Note: This service is only available to the age of 13 and above. During booking, only a £30 deposit is required , which will be deducted from the total cost. The remaining payment will be collected at a later stage. Any cancellation, rescheduling, or missed appointment within 48 hours of the scheduled time will result in the loss of the £30 deposit.

- Allergy and Intolerance Tests
£309 < Back Allergy 295 £309 Description This the UK's most comprehensive allergy panel with 295 allergens tested. Allergies affect around one in four of the general population. Many allergic patients do not take their allergy seriously and are suffering from subsequent complications, e.g. hay fever, allergic asthma or are subject to unnecessary dietary restrictions. This test can check for close to 300 relevant allergen sources (except drug allergens, such as penicillin). We have the most comprehensive panel in the UK which also tests for molecular allergens, which allows for a comprehensive understanding of allergic cross-reactions and a risk assessment of food allergies (to allow for tailormade dietary recommendations). Likewise, allergen-specific immunotherapy can be directed against the main trigger (available for pollen, house dust mites and insect venoms) of symptoms. An allergy is not the same as a less serious food intolerance which is difficulty digesting certain foods and having an unpleasant physical reaction to them. This can be genetic and mostly mediated by IgG (not IgE which is measured in this allergy test). What allergens do you test for? We test for a range of allergens including pollens, mites, moulds & yeasts, plant and animal based foods, insects & venom, pets & animals, and other common allergens like latex.

- Down-Turned Mouth (Marionette Lines) | Epicare Health
< Back Down-Turned Mouth (Marionette Lines) £ 139 Description Marionette lines are the vertical wrinkles or folds that appear from the corners of the mouth down to the chin, creating a "down-turned" appearance. These lines are often caused by aging, loss of skin elasticity, and the sagging of facial tissues. They can make the face look sad or more aged. Treatments like Botox procedures are commonly used to reduce their appearance. What is Botox? Botox is a treatment that uses botulinum toxin to temporarily relax muscles. It is most commonly used in cosmetic procedures to reduce wrinkles and fine lines, especially on the face. Botox can also be used to treat conditions like excessive sweating. How can Botox help? For Marionette Lines, Botox works by injecting the Depressor Anguli Oris, smoothing the skin and reducing the appearance of these fine lines. Botox is a treatment designed to temporarily relax the muscles that contribute to certain facial lines. By targeting these muscles, Botox helps reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles, leaving your skin looking smoother. Administered through injections, it offers a non-surgical option for addressing facial lines. During your consultation, our experienced clinicians will discuss your concerns and determine if Botox is the right choice to help you achieve a refreshed and more confident appearance. Timeline and Expected results Botox can last for 4-6 months but effectiveness starts to decrease from 2-3 months, with noticeable improvements visible within 3 to 14 days after treatment, making it a popular choice for those looking to smooth and refresh the area.
