Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic mutations in the TTN gene, which are associated with familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy type 9.
📊

Positive for pathogenic mutation

Confirms genetic predisposition to FHC type 9; recommend clinical evaluation and family screening.

📊

Negative for pathogenic mutation

No known mutations detected; does not rule out other causes of cardiomyopathy.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance (VUS)

Further testing and clinical correlation needed; genetic counseling advised.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If you experience symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, or have a family history of cardiomyopathy, consult a cardiologist or genetic specialist for evaluation.

Limitations

  • ⚠May not detect all genetic variants or novel mutations
  • ⚠Results require interpretation by a genetic counselor or specialist
  • ⚠Does not replace clinical diagnosis; should be used alongside other tests

Risks & Considerations

  • ●Minimal risks from blood draw, such as bruising, swelling, or infection
  • ●Psychological impact of genetic results; counseling provided

Interfering Factors

Frequently Asked Questions

What is TTN gene cardiomyopathy?
TTN gene cardiomyopathy is a type of familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy caused by mutations in the TTN gene, which affects the titin protein in heart muscle cells.
How is the NGS genetic test performed?
The test uses next-generation sequencing to analyze DNA from a blood or saliva sample, detecting mutations in the TTN gene.
What does a positive test result mean?
A positive result indicates a pathogenic mutation in the TTN gene, increasing the risk for familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy type 9.
Is genetic counseling required before the test?
Yes, a genetic counseling session is recommended to discuss implications, draw a family pedigree, and interpret results.
How long does it take to get the test results?
Results are typically available within 3-4 weeks after sample collection.
Is the test covered by insurance?
Coverage varies; it is not typically covered under government schemes like PMJAY, but check with private insurers.
Can children undergo this genetic test?
Yes, the test can be performed on individuals of all ages, but parental consent and counseling are advised for minors.
What are the risks of the test?
Risks are minimal, primarily related to blood draw, such as bruising or infection. Psychological risks are addressed through counseling.
How accurate is the NGS genetic test?
NGS technology is highly accurate for detecting known mutations, but may not identify all variants; results should be clinically correlated.
What should I do after receiving the test results?
Consult a healthcare professional or genetic counselor to discuss results, management options, and family screening.
Is home sample collection available for this test?
Yes, free home sample collection is offered for online bookings across India.
