Understanding Your Results

Results from the GJA5 Gene Atrial Fibrillation Type 11 NGS Genetic Test indicate the presence or absence of mutations in the GJA5 gene. Interpretation should be done by a qualified geneticist or cardiologist in conjunction with clinical history and family pedigree.
📊

Positive for pathogenic variant

Increased risk of atrial fibrillation; recommend genetic counseling and cardiac monitoring.

📊

Negative for pathogenic variant

No detected mutation in GJA5 gene; risk may be lower, but other factors should be considered.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance

Further testing and family studies may be needed for clarification.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a doctor if you experience symptoms of atrial fibrillation such as irregular heartbeat, palpitations, chest pain, shortness of breath, fatigue, or dizziness, or if you have a family history of AFib or related cardiovascular conditions.

Risks & Considerations

  • Minimal physical risk from blood collection
  • Potential psychological impact from genetic results
  • Risk of false positives or negatives, though rare with NGS technology
