For patients

Understand your inherited risk for common cardiovascular and metabolic conditions.

ARC-omix is a clinician-ordered test that estimates your inherited risk for common cardiometabolic, cardiovascular, and renal conditions — like coronary heart disease, chronic renal disease, and type 2 diabetes — so you and your doctor can decide what, if anything, to do earlier.

How it works See a sample report

When it helps

It’s most helpful in these three situations

Most common

You have a family history.

Your father had a heart attack at 52; your aunt has diabetes. ARC-omix can quantify how much of that risk you inherited — so you and your doctor make evidence-based decisions about screening and prevention.

Earlier action

You want to plan ahead.

You’re in your 30s or 40s and feel fine, but you want decisions about cholesterol, blood pressure, and lifestyle — informed by more than age-based risk estimates.

Resolving ambiguity

When results don’t match your risk factors.

You eat well but your cholesterol is high. ARC-CHOL integrates a polygenic score with analysis of rare genetic variants to provide a comprehensive assessment of the genetic factors that may underlie high cholesterol.

What you’ll receive

A concise clinical report.

Your clinician receives a concise report. The first page is a summary you can read together, with your risk percentile for each condition and what it means.

Every report is reviewed by the clinical laboratory director before it is released — not just by a computer.

Your clinician reviews the results with you; this consultation is included.

Sample report · not a real patient

Board-reviewed ✓

Your inherited risk for coronary heart disease is in the top 16% of similarly-aged adults — meaningfully elevated.

CHD

84th

VTE

58th

T2D

42nd

HTN

62nd

Geneticist note: this score is meaningful. Suggest discussing earlier coronary calcium imaging and lipid management.

The process

From conversation to results in a few weeks.

~5 min

Your clinician orders the test

A simple order form, like for any lab.

~10 min

Collection kit arrives

A requisition for a blood draw at any phlebotomy lab, or a buccal swab home kit. No fasting required.

~3–4 weeks

Our lab sequences and analyzes

Blended Genome-Exome sequencing is performed by our partner lab.

~30 min

You meet with your care team

They walk you through your results and what they suggest doing — or not doing — based on them.

Honest limits

What a genetic risk score can and cannot tell you.

What it can do

Tell you your risk level compared with the population
Help your clinician choose when to start screening earlier
Be reanalyzed from the same sample as the science advances
Stay informative across your lifetime

What it can’t do

Tell you whether you will or won’t get a condition
Replace standard screening — blood pressure checks, cholesterol panels, and the like
Detect rare single-gene conditions beyond those it is designed to assess
