MTTG Gene Cardiomyopathy Hypertrophic NGS Genetic DNA Test
Introduction
The MTTG Gene Cardiomyopathy Hypertrophic NGS Genetic DNA Test is a cutting-edge diagnostic tool designed to identify genetic mutations associated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). This test employs Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to provide accurate insights into the genetic basis of heart conditions, enabling early diagnosis and appropriate management.
What the Test Measures
This test detects mutations in the MTTG gene, which are linked to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a condition characterized by the thickening of the heart muscle. By identifying these genetic variants, healthcare providers can better understand the risk of developing HCM in patients and their families.
Who Should Consider This Test
Individuals who may benefit from the MTTG Gene Cardiomyopathy Hypertrophic NGS Genetic DNA Test include:
- People with a family history of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
- Patients exhibiting symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest pain, or palpitations.
- Individuals with known cardiovascular risk factors.
Benefits of Taking the Test
Undergoing this genetic test offers several advantages:
- Early Detection: Identifies genetic predispositions before symptoms arise.
- Informed Decision-Making: Helps in planning treatment and lifestyle adjustments.
- Family Planning: Aids in understanding hereditary risks for family members.
Understanding Your Results
After the test, your healthcare provider will discuss the findings with you. A positive result indicates the presence of a mutation linked to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, while a negative result suggests no identifiable mutation. However, a negative result does not entirely rule out the risk of developing HCM, and further consultation is recommended.
Test Details and Pricing
| Test Name | Discount Price | Regular Price |
|---|---|---|
| MTTG Gene Cardiomyopathy Hypertrophic NGS Genetic DNA Test | 40000 KSh | 56000 KSh |
Logistics
The turnaround time for the results is approximately 3 to 4 weeks. The sample can be collected as blood, extracted DNA, or even one drop of blood on an FTA card. Prior to the test, patients should undergo genetic counseling to create a pedigree chart of affected family members, ensuring comprehensive understanding and management.
