Pre Test Information
Clinical History of Patient who is going for ACTC1 Gene Atrial septal defect type 5 NGS Genetic DNA Test. A Genetic Counselling session to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with ACTC1 Gene Atrial septal defect type 5 NGS Genetic DNA Test gene ACTC1.
Test Details
The ACTC1 gene is responsible for providing instructions for the production of a protein called cardiac alpha-actin. This protein is mainly found in the heart muscle and plays a crucial role in the contraction and relaxation of the heart. Atrial septal defect type 5 (ASD5) is a specific type of atrial septal defect, which is a congenital heart defect characterized by a hole in the wall (septum) that separates the two upper chambers (atria) of the heart. ASD5 is caused by mutations in the ACTC1 gene.
NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a type of genetic test that uses advanced sequencing technology to analyze multiple genes simultaneously. It allows for the rapid and cost-effective analysis of a large number of genes, making it a valuable tool for identifying genetic mutations and variants associated with various diseases, including ASD5 caused by ACTC1 gene mutations.
By performing an NGS genetic test, healthcare professionals can detect specific mutations or variants in the ACTC1 gene that may be responsible for causing ASD5. This information can be used for accurate diagnosis, genetic counseling, and potentially informing treatment decisions.
