Detail Description

TTN Gene Cardiomyopathy, Familial Hypertrophic Type 9 NGS Genetic DNA Test

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle that affects its structure and function. TTN gene cardiomyopathy is a type of familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (FHC) that is caused by mutations in the TTN gene. This gene provides instructions for making a protein called titin, which is important for the normal function of heart muscle cells. Mutations in the TTN gene can lead to the development of FHC, which is characterized by an abnormal thickening (hypertrophy) of the heart muscle.

Symptoms

The symptoms of TTN gene cardiomyopathy can vary widely and may include:

• Chest pain or discomfort
• Shortness of breath
• Fatigue
• Fainting or lightheadedness
• Heart palpitations

Some people with TTN gene cardiomyopathy may have no symptoms at all, while others may experience severe symptoms that can lead to heart failure or sudden death.

Diagnosis

Diagnosis of TTN gene cardiomyopathy involves a combination of medical history, physical examination, and diagnostic tests. These may include:

• Electrocardiogram (ECG): A test that records the electrical activity of the heart.
• Echocardiogram: A test that uses sound waves to create images of the heart.
• Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): A test that uses a magnetic field and radio waves to create images of the heart.
• Genetic testing: A blood or saliva test that can detect mutations in the TTN gene.

NGS Genetic DNA Test

The NGS Genetic DNA Test is a type of genetic test that uses next-generation sequencing technology to analyze DNA samples. This test can detect mutations in the TTN gene that are associated with TTN gene cardiomyopathy. The test is performed on a blood or saliva sample and takes about 2-3 weeks for results to be available.

Cost

The cost of the NGS Genetic DNA Test for TTN gene cardiomyopathy is INR 20,000.

Conclusion

TTN gene cardiomyopathy is a type of familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy that is caused by mutations in the TTN gene. Symptoms can vary widely and may include chest pain, shortness of breath, fatigue, and heart palpitations. Diagnosis involves a combination of medical history, physical examination, and diagnostic tests, including genetic testing. The NGS Genetic DNA Test is a type of genetic test that can detect mutations in the TTN gene and is available at a cost of INR 20,000.

If you suspect that you or a family member may have TTN gene cardiomyopathy, it is important to speak with a healthcare professional and consider genetic testing for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
