ANK2 Gene Long QT syndrome type 4 Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the ANK2 Gene Long QT syndrome type 4 Genetic Test to diagnose and identify mutations associated with this condition. The test is conducted using NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology, which allows for the analysis of multiple genes simultaneously.
Test Details
The ANK2 gene is responsible for producing ankyrin-B protein, which regulates ion channels in heart muscle cells. Mutations in this gene can lead to Long QT syndrome type 4 (LQT4), a heart rhythm disorder. Symptoms of LQT4 include fainting spells, seizures, and even sudden cardiac arrest.
Test Components and Price
The ANK2 Gene Long QT syndrome type 4 Genetic Test costs AED 4400.0. The test requires a blood sample, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card.
Report Delivery and Method
Once the sample is collected, the test results will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks. The test is conducted using NGS technology.
Test Type and Doctor
The ANK2 Gene Long QT syndrome type 4 Genetic Test falls under the category of Cardiovascular Pneumology Disorders. It is recommended to consult a cardiologist for this test.
Test Department and Pre Test Information
The ANK2 Gene Long QT syndrome type 4 Genetic Test is conducted in our Genetics department. Before the test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient and undergo a genetic counseling session to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by the ANK2 gene.
NGS Genetic Testing
NGS genetic testing allows for the analysis of multiple genes simultaneously. In the case of Long QT syndrome, NGS testing helps identify mutations in the ANK2 gene that may be causing LQT4. The test involves obtaining a sample of DNA, typically through a blood sample or cheek swab. The DNA is then sequenced using advanced technology that can analyze multiple genes at once.
Importance of Genetic Testing for Long QT Syndrome
Genetic testing for Long QT syndrome, including LQT4, is recommended for individuals with a personal or family history of the condition or those who have experienced symptoms such as fainting or cardiac arrhythmias. It is crucial to have the test performed and interpreted by a qualified healthcare professional or genetic counselor who can provide appropriate counseling and guidance based on the results.
At DNA Labs UAE, we strive to provide accurate and reliable genetic testing services. Our ANK2 Gene Long QT syndrome type 4 Genetic Test can help diagnose LQT4 and guide treatment decisions. Contact us today to schedule an appointment.

| Test Details |
The ANK2 gene is responsible for producing a protein called ankyrin-B, which is involved in the regulation of ion channels in heart muscle cells. Mutations in the ANK2 gene can lead to a condition known as Long QT syndrome type 4 (LQT4). Long QT syndrome is a heart rhythm disorder that can cause abnormal electrical activity in the heart, leading to fainting spells, seizures, or even sudden cardiac arrest. There are several types of Long QT syndrome, each caused by mutations in different genes. NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a method used to analyze multiple genes simultaneously to identify genetic mutations or variations associated with a particular condition. In the case of Long QT syndrome, NGS testing can be used to identify mutations in the ANK2 gene that may be causing LQT4. NGS genetic testing involves obtaining a sample of DNA, typically through a blood sample or a cheek swab. The DNA is then sequenced using advanced technology that can analyze multiple genes at once. The results of the NGS test can help diagnose LQT4 and guide treatment decisions. It is important to note that genetic testing for Long QT syndrome, including LQT4, is typically recommended for individuals with a personal or family history of the condition or those who have experienced symptoms such as fainting or cardiac arrhythmias. The test should be performed and interpreted by a qualified healthcare professional or genetic counselor who can provide appropriate counseling and guidance based on the results. |
