This test utilizes Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to detect mutations in the PLN gene, which plays a vital role in heart function. By analyzing the genetic material, the test can identify variations that may contribute to the development of HCM.
Who Should Consider This Test
Individuals with a family history of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy or those experiencing symptoms such as:
- Shortness of breath
- Chest pain
- Palpitations
- Fainting or dizziness during physical activity
Risk factors include a family history of cardiovascular diseases and previous diagnoses of heart conditions.
