No, fasting is not required for this genetic test.
Can the test be done at home?
Yes, free home sample collection is available for online bookings across India.
What does a positive result mean?
A positive result indicates a pathogenic variant in the MYOZ2 gene, confirming the diagnosis of familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy type 16.
What should I do if I have a family history of cardiomyopathy?
Consult a healthcare provider for genetic counseling and consider genetic testing to assess risk and guide management.
How accurate is the NGS genetic test?
NGS is a highly accurate method for detecting genetic mutations, but results should be interpreted in conjunction with clinical findings.
