Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of mutations in the SCN5A gene associated with Brugada Syndrome Type 1.
📊

Negative

No pathogenic variants detected. Low genetic risk, but clinical evaluation may still be needed.

📊

Positive

Pathogenic variant detected. Confirms genetic predisposition to Brugada Syndrome Type 1. Consult a cardiologist for management.

📊

Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS)

Genetic variant found but clinical significance unknown. Further testing and family studies recommended.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a cardiologist or genetic specialist if you have a family history of Brugada syndrome, experience symptoms like fainting or palpitations, or receive a positive test result.

Limitations

  • ⚠May not detect all genetic variants due to technical limitations
  • ⚠Results require clinical correlation
  • ⚠Does not rule out other genetic causes of Brugada syndrome

Risks & Considerations

  • ●Minimal risk from blood draw, such as bruising or infection
  • ●Psychological impact of genetic results

Interfering Factors

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the SCN5A Gene Brugada Syndrome Type 1 NGS Genetic Test?
It is a genetic test that uses Next-Generation Sequencing to detect mutations in the SCN5A gene, which causes Brugada Syndrome Type 1, a heart disorder leading to abnormal rhythms.
Who should consider this test?
Individuals with a family history of Brugada syndrome, unexplained fainting, abnormal ECG, or symptoms like palpitations and chest pain.
How is the test performed?
A blood sample is collected and analyzed using NGS technology to sequence the SCN5A gene for mutations.
What is the cost of the test?
The test costs INR 20,000, with free home sample collection available across India.
Is the test covered by insurance?
Most insurance plans do not cover this test; patients may need to pay out of pocket.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks after sample collection.
What do the results mean?
A negative result means no pathogenic variants were detected; a positive result confirms a genetic mutation associated with Brugada Syndrome Type 1.
Are there any risks to the test?
The test involves minimal risks from blood draw, such as bruising. Genetic results may have psychological implications.
Can this test diagnose Brugada syndrome definitively?
Yes, it can confirm genetic diagnosis, but clinical correlation with ECG and symptoms is essential.
What should I do after receiving a positive result?
Consult a cardiologist for further evaluation, management, and family screening.
Is genetic counseling provided?
Yes, DNA Labs India offers genetic counseling as part of the test package.
How accurate is the NGS genetic test?
NGS technology is highly accurate for detecting mutations, but no test is 100% foolproof; results should be interpreted by a specialist.
