Take Control of Your Heart Health with SCN1B Gene Testing
When heart rhythm disorders run in your family, the uncertainty can feel overwhelming. That racing heartbeat, the unexplained dizziness, the worry that you might inherit what your parents or grandparents experienced – these concerns deserve answers, not anxiety. Our SCN1B Gene Familial Atrial Fibrillation Type 13 test provides the clarity you need to understand your genetic risk and take proactive steps for your heart health.
Understanding Your SCN1B Genetic Test
This specialised DNA test examines the SCN1B gene, which plays a crucial role in regulating your heart’s electrical activity. When this gene contains specific mutations, it can lead to familial atrial fibrillation – an inherited condition where the heart’s upper chambers beat irregularly and often too fast. Using advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, we provide highly accurate analysis of your genetic makeup to identify these risk factors before symptoms become serious.
Who Should Consider This Important Heart Health Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Unexplained heart palpitations or racing heartbeat
- Dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting spells
- Family history of atrial fibrillation or sudden cardiac events
- Multiple relatives with heart rhythm disorders
- Anxiety about inheriting family heart conditions
- Planning for pregnancy with family heart history
Many South Africans discover they have genetic predispositions to heart conditions only after experiencing symptoms. Early detection through genetic testing can change this narrative.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Heart Health
Knowing your genetic risk for familial atrial fibrillation provides powerful advantages:
- Peace of Mind: Eliminate the uncertainty about your heart health inheritance
- Proactive Care: Work with your cardiologist on personalised prevention strategies
- Family Planning Insights: Understand risks for future generations
- Early Intervention: Implement lifestyle changes and monitoring before symptoms develop
- Reduced Anxiety: Replace worry with knowledge and control
