Color's new DNA test kit can identify inherited heart conditions
Genetic testing company Color is mostly known for its DNA tests for cancer, but its most recent test kit is all about the heart. Color's new kit can detect predispositions to various inherited heart conditions, such as abnormal heart rhythms and any disease affecting the heart muscle and arteries. It does that by analyzing and looking for mutations in 30 genes that determine the heart's structure, function and rhythm. Color admits that hereditary heart conditions aren't that common, but the odds are still one in 200 people.
