The CACNA1C gene is implicated in Long QT Syndrome type 8, a rare genetic disorder that affects the heart’s electrical activity, leading to potentially dangerous arrhythmias. The condition is characterized by prolonged repolarization of the heart after a heartbeat, which is visible on an electrocardiogram (ECG) as a prolonged QT interval. This can lead to symptoms such as fainting, seizures, or even sudden cardiac death.

To diagnose this specific subtype of Long QT Syndrome, a genetic test targeting the CACNA1C gene is utilized. This test identifies mutations in the CACNA1C gene that are responsible for the condition, providing crucial information for the diagnosis, management, and familial screening of affected individuals.

In the UAE, DNA Labs offers this specialized genetic test for Long QT Syndrome type 8. The cost of the test is 4400 AED. DNA Labs UAE is known for its state-of-the-art facilities and expertise in genetic diagnostics, offering accurate and reliable results. The test is conducted under strict quality controls, ensuring that individuals and their healthcare providers receive critical information for the effective management of the condition. This test is not only pivotal for confirming the diagnosis but also plays a significant role in guiding treatment decisions and preventive measures for patients and their families.

CACNA1C Gene Long QT syndrome type 8 Genetic Test

At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the CACNA1C Gene Long QT syndrome type 8 Genetic Test. This test is designed to detect mutations in the CACNA1C gene that are associated with Long QT syndrome type 8. The test is performed using NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology, which allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes.

Test Components and Price

The CACNA1C Gene Long QT syndrome type 8 Genetic Test costs AED 4400.0. The test requires a blood sample or extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card.

Report Delivery and Method

After the sample is collected, the report will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks. The test is performed using NGS technology.

Test Type and Doctor

The CACNA1C Gene Long QT syndrome type 8 Genetic Test falls under the category of Cardiovascular Pneumology Disorders. The test is conducted by a cardiologist in our Genetics department.

Pre Test Information

Prior to the test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient who is undergoing the CACNA1C Gene Long QT syndrome type 8 NGS Genetic DNA Test. Additionally, a genetic counseling session will be conducted to create a pedigree chart of family members affected by the CACNA1C Gene Long QT syndrome type 8 NGS Genetic DNA Test gene CACNA1C.

Test Details

The CACNA1C gene is responsible for encoding the alpha-1C subunit of the L-type voltage-gated calcium channel. Mutations in this gene have been linked to various conditions, including Long QT syndrome type 8. Long QT syndrome is a heart rhythm disorder characterized by a prolonged QT interval on an electrocardiogram (ECG). This can lead to life-threatening arrhythmias such as torsades de pointes or ventricular fibrillation.

NGS genetic testing allows for the analysis of the DNA sequence of the CACNA1C gene. By identifying mutations or variations in this gene, the test can provide valuable information about an individual’s risk of developing Long QT syndrome type 8. This information can be used for diagnostic purposes, genetic counseling, and guiding treatment decisions.

It is important to note that NGS genetic testing is a complex process that requires specialized equipment and expertise. It is typically performed in a laboratory setting by trained professionals. If you suspect that you or someone you know may have Long QT syndrome type 8, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional or a genetic counselor who can guide you through the process of genetic testing and interpretation of the results.

Test Details

The CACNA1C gene is responsible for encoding a protein called the alpha-1C subunit of the L-type voltage-gated calcium channel. Mutations in this gene have been associated with various conditions, including Long QT syndrome type 8.

Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a heart rhythm disorder characterized by a prolonged QT interval on an electrocardiogram (ECG). This prolonged QT interval can lead to potentially life-threatening arrhythmias, such as torsades de pointes or ventricular fibrillation.

NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing refers to a high-throughput DNA sequencing technology that allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes. In the context of Long QT syndrome type 8, NGS genetic testing can be used to identify mutations or variations in the CACNA1C gene that may be contributing to the development of the condition.

By analyzing the DNA sequence of the CACNA1C gene, NGS genetic testing can provide valuable information about an individual’s risk of developing Long QT syndrome type 8. This information can be used for diagnostic purposes, genetic counseling, and potentially guiding treatment decisions.

It’s important to note that NGS genetic testing is a complex process that requires specialized equipment and expertise. It is typically performed in a laboratory setting by trained professionals. If you suspect that you or someone you know may have Long QT syndrome type 8, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional or a genetic counselor who can guide you through the process of genetic testing and interpretation of the results.
