Test Overview & Methodology
The SCN5A gene NGS test identifies pathogenic variants causing progressive familial heart block type IA, enabling definitive diagnosis, targeted cardiac surveillance, and prophylactic pacemaker planning. This test is the gold standard for detecting mutations responsible for progressive familial heart block type IA, providing physicians with precise genetic information to guide therapeutic decisions.
| Feature | Our Test (SCN5A Complete NGS) | Closest Alternative (Targeted Panel) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | Full gene sequencing ± copy number variants; >99.9% analytical sensitivity | Limited hotspot regions; may miss novel variants |
| Methodology | NGS on NovaSeq 6000; average 1000× depth; Sanger confirmation | NGS panel or single‑gene Sanger |
| Turnaround | 21 calendar days (expedited option available) | 4–6 weeks |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As a Consultant Medical Genetics, I understand the concern that comes with a family history of inherited cardiac conditions. This SCN5A gene analysis provides a precise risk assessment, but genetic results must always be integrated with clinical evaluation and family history. Do not discontinue any prescribed medication without consulting your physician.”

Advisory – Medication Continuation
Do not discontinue or alter prescribed medication without prior discussion with your physician.
Safety Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Exclusion: Individuals unable to provide informed consent; minors without legal guardian consent (Federal Decree-Law No. 4 of 2016 on Medical Liability applies); active hematoma at proposed venipuncture site.
- Emergency Red Flags: If you experience syncope (fainting), severe dizziness, chest pain, or palpitations during the testing period, proceed to the nearest emergency department immediately.
- Post‑Test: A positive result does not equal a heart attack; it mandates specialist cardiac electrophysiology evaluation.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What exactly does the SCN5A gene progressive heart block test detect?
Snippet: This identifies DNA sequence variants and copy‑number changes in the entire SCN5A gene that cause progressive familial heart block type IA, a conduction system disorder that can lead to pacemaker dependency.
2. How should I prepare for the blood collection?
Snippet: No fasting is required; however, provide your detailed family cardiac history and a signed genetic counselling consent during the home visit scheduled between 8 AM and 11 PM.
3. What does a positive result mean for my future heart health?
Snippet: A positive result confirms a genetic predisposition to progressive heart block, enabling early electrophysiology follow‑up, lifestyle modifications, and timely prophylactic pacemaker implantation to prevent life‑threatening events.
