Take Control of Your Heart Health with Advanced Genetic Testing
When heart symptoms appear or family history raises concerns, uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our PRDM16 Gene Cardiomyopathy Dilated Type 1LL NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the clarity you need to make informed decisions about your cardiac health. For just ZAR 6,700, gain definitive answers about your genetic risk for serious heart conditions.
Understanding Your PRDM16 Genetic Test
This advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) test specifically examines the PRDM16 gene, which plays a crucial role in heart muscle development and function. When this gene contains mutations, it can lead to dilated cardiomyopathy – a condition where the heart muscle becomes weakened and enlarged, affecting its ability to pump blood effectively.
Our test provides comprehensive analysis with 99.9% accuracy, giving you reliable information about your genetic predisposition to this serious cardiac condition.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Heart Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Unexplained shortness of breath or fatigue
- Swelling in legs, ankles, or feet
- Heart palpitations or irregular heartbeat
- Family history of cardiomyopathy or sudden cardiac death
- Relatives diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy
- Unexplained fainting spells or dizziness
Early genetic testing can be life-saving, especially when symptoms are subtle or family history suggests increased risk.
Why This Test Matters for Your Heart Health
Getting tested provides multiple life-changing benefits:
- Early Intervention: Detect genetic risks before symptoms become severe
- Family Planning: Understand inheritance patterns for future generations
- Personalised Treatment: Guide medication and lifestyle decisions
- Peace of Mind: Reduce uncertainty about your cardiac health
- Preventive Care: Implement monitoring and preventive measures early
Understanding Your Test Results
We make understanding your results straightforward and reassuring:
- Positive Result: Indicates a PRDM16 gene mutation is present. Our genetic counsellors will explain what this means for your health and connect you with appropriate cardiac specialists
- Negative Result: No mutation detected in the PRDM16 gene, significantly reducing your genetic risk for this specific type of cardiomyopathy
- Variant of Unknown Significance: Rare cases where a genetic change is found but its impact isn’t fully understood – we provide ongoing monitoring and updates
Every result includes a comprehensive consultation with our genetic specialists to ensure you fully understand your findings and next steps.
