Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As a Consultant Medical Genetics, I emphasize that the GJA5 gene test provides valuable insights for families with inherited atrial fibrillation. However, genetic testing is just one piece of the puzzle. A negative result does not eliminate the possibility of other genetic cardiac conditions, and a positive result should be interpreted alongside clinical history and family pedigree. Always seek comprehensive genetic counseling before and after testing.” — Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh, Consultant Medical Genetics, DHA Registration ID: 9294403
Medication Warning
Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor. Genetic test results should never replace ongoing clinical management.
