Introduction

Ventricular fibrillation is a condition where the heart beats irregularly and rapidly. It is a potentially life-threatening condition that can lead to sudden cardiac arrest. Paroxysmal familial type 1 ventricular fibrillation is a rare genetic disorder that affects the heart's electrical system. It is caused by mutations in the SCN5A gene.

DNA Labs India offers a genetic test to diagnose this condition. The test uses Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to analyze the SCN5A gene and identify any mutations that may be present.

Symptoms of Paroxysmal Familial Type 1 Ventricular Fibrillation

The symptoms of paroxysmal familial type 1 ventricular fibrillation may include:

• Chest pain
• Shortness of breath
• Dizziness or lightheadedness
• Fainting or loss of consciousness
• Pounding or fluttering heartbeat

It is important to note that some people with this condition may not experience any symptoms.

Diagnosis

The genetic test offered by DNA Labs India can help diagnose paroxysmal familial type 1 ventricular fibrillation. The test analyzes the SCN5A gene to identify any mutations that may be present. If a mutation is found, it can confirm the diagnosis of the condition.

Other diagnostic tests may also be performed, such as an electrocardiogram (ECG) or a stress test, to evaluate the heart's electrical activity and function.

Cost of the Test

The cost of the SCN5A Gene Ventricular Fibrillation Paroxysmal Familial Type 1 NGS Genetic DNA Test at DNA Labs India is INR 20,000.
