PKP2 Gene Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy Type 9 NGS Genetic Test

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a genetic disorder that affects the heart muscle. It is characterized by the replacement of normal heart muscle with fatty or fibrous tissue, leading to the formation of abnormal electrical pathways in the heart. This can result in dangerous heart rhythms and sudden cardiac death.

ARVC is caused by mutations in several genes, including the PKP2 gene. The PKP2 gene provides instructions for making a protein called plakophilin-2, which is important for the structure and function of heart muscle cells.

Symptoms of ARVC

The symptoms of ARVC can vary widely, and some people with the condition may have no symptoms at all. However, common symptoms include:

• Palpitations
• Chest pain
• Fainting or dizziness
• Shortness of breath
• Swelling in the legs or abdomen

These symptoms can be caused by a variety of conditions, so it is important to see a doctor if you experience any of them.

Diagnosis of ARVC

Diagnosing ARVC can be challenging, as there is no single test that can definitively diagnose the condition. However, doctors may use a combination of tests and procedures to make a diagnosis, including:

• Electrocardiogram (ECG)
• Echocardiogram
• Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
• Cardiac catheterization
• Genetic testing

Genetic testing can be particularly helpful in diagnosing ARVC, as it can identify mutations in genes like PKP2 that are associated with the condition.

NGS Genetic Test for PKP2 Gene

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is a powerful technology that allows for the rapid and accurate sequencing of entire genomes or specific genes. DNA Labs India offers an NGS Genetic Test for the PKP2 gene, which can identify mutations that are associated with ARVC.

The test involves taking a small sample of blood or saliva and analyzing the DNA for mutations in the PKP2 gene. Results are typically available within a few weeks.

Cost of NGS Genetic Test for PKP2 Gene

The cost of the NGS Genetic Test for the PKP2 gene is INR 20,000. This includes the cost of the test itself, as well as any necessary genetic counseling and interpretation of results.

Conclusion

ARVC is a serious genetic condition that can lead to dangerous heart rhythms and sudden cardiac death. However, with early diagnosis and proper treatment, many people with ARVC can lead normal, healthy lives. The NGS Genetic Test for the PKP2 gene offered by DNA Labs India can help identify mutations that are associated with ARVC, allowing for early diagnosis and treatment.

It is important to note that genetic testing should only be done under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional. If you are experiencing symptoms of ARVC or have a family history of the condition, talk to your doctor about whether genetic testing may be right for you.
