Take Control of Your Heart Health with Advanced Genetic Testing
If you’ve experienced unexplained fainting, heart palpitations, or have a family history of sudden cardiac events, you understand the anxiety that comes with not knowing the cause. The CACNA1C Gene Long QT Syndrome Type 8 NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the answers you need to protect your heart and your future.
Understanding Your Heart’s Genetic Blueprint
Long QT Syndrome Type 8 is a serious inherited heart condition caused by mutations in the CACNA1C gene. This condition affects your heart’s electrical system, potentially leading to dangerous irregular heartbeats and sudden cardiac arrest. Our advanced Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your DNA with precision, identifying specific genetic variations that could put you at risk.
Think of this test as reading your heart’s instruction manual – it helps us understand if there are any critical errors that need attention before they cause problems.
Is This Test Right for You?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Unexplained fainting spells or near-fainting episodes
- Heart palpitations or irregular heartbeat sensations
- Family history of sudden cardiac death or unexplained death
- Previous unexplained seizures or convulsions
- Family members diagnosed with Long QT Syndrome
- Abnormal ECG results showing prolonged QT interval
Many South Africans live with undiagnosed heart conditions that could be managed effectively with early detection. Don’t wait for symptoms to worsen.
Why Early Detection Could Save Your Life
Knowing your genetic risk for Long QT Syndrome Type 8 provides life-changing benefits:
- Personalised Treatment: Your doctor can create a targeted treatment plan based on your specific genetic profile
- Family Protection: Identify at-risk family members before symptoms appear
- Medication Guidance: Avoid medications that could trigger dangerous heart rhythms
- Lifestyle Adjustments: Make informed decisions about exercise and activities
- Peace of Mind: Replace uncertainty with knowledge and control
Understanding Your Results with Compassion
We understand that waiting for genetic test results can be anxiety-provoking. Our process is designed to support you every step of the way:
Before Testing: You’ll have a genetic counselling session where we create a detailed family history chart to understand your complete health picture.
After Testing: Your results will be clearly explained by our expert team. If a mutation is found, we’ll discuss what it means for your health and provide guidance on next steps, including treatment options and family testing recommendations.
Remember: A positive result doesn’t mean you’ll definitely develop symptoms – it means we can take proactive steps to protect your health.
