Understand Your Heart’s Genetic Blueprint with Confidence
When your heart races unexpectedly or you experience unexplained fainting spells, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Many South Africans live with the quiet fear of inherited heart conditions without knowing their actual risk. Our SCN4B Gene Long QT Syndrome Type 10 test provides the clarity and peace of mind you deserve, using cutting-edge genetic technology to uncover what traditional tests might miss.
What This Test Reveals About Your Heart Health
The SCN4B gene plays a crucial role in regulating your heart’s electrical activity. When mutations occur in this gene, it can lead to Long QT Syndrome Type 10 – a condition that disrupts your heart’s natural rhythm and increases risk of sudden cardiac events. Our Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines this specific gene with exceptional accuracy, identifying even subtle genetic variations that could impact your heart health.
Unlike standard ECG tests that capture only momentary heart activity, this DNA test provides lifelong information about your genetic predisposition, helping you and your cardiologist make informed decisions about your cardiac care.
Who Should Consider This Heart Health Assessment?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Unexplained fainting spells or near-fainting episodes
- Heart palpitations or racing heart without obvious cause
- Family history of sudden cardiac arrest or unexplained death
- Relatives diagnosed with Long QT Syndrome
- Abnormal ECG results suggesting electrical heart issues
- Planning pregnancy with concerns about inherited heart conditions
Many South African families carry genetic heart conditions without realizing it. Early detection through genetic testing can be life-saving for you and future generations.
Why Genetic Testing Matters for Your Cardiac Health
Knowing your genetic risk for Long QT Syndrome provides powerful advantages:
- Early Intervention: Detect risks before symptoms become severe
- Personalised Treatment: Help your cardiologist create targeted prevention strategies
- Family Planning: Understand inheritance risks for your children
- Peace of Mind: Reduce anxiety about unexplained symptoms
- Preventive Care: Implement lifestyle changes and monitoring before problems develop
For many patients, this test ends years of uncertainty and provides a clear path forward for heart health management.
