The KCNE2 gene plays a crucial role in cardiac electrophysiology, influencing the function of potassium channels that are critical for the proper electrical activity of the heart. Mutations in the KCNE2 gene can lead to Long QT Syndrome type 6 (LQT6), a rare inherited condition characterized by prolonged repolarization of the heart after a heartbeat. This condition increases the risk of irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias), fainting, and sudden death, especially under stress or during exercise.

To diagnose LQT6, a genetic test focusing on the KCNE2 gene can be conducted. This test involves analyzing the DNA to identify mutations in the KCNE2 gene that are known to cause the syndrome. DNA Labs UAE offers this specific genetic testing service for individuals who are at risk of LQT6 due to their family history or those who exhibit symptoms related to abnormal heart rhythms.

The cost of the KCNE2 gene Long QT syndrome type 6 genetic test at DNA Labs UAE is 4400 AED. The test provides a crucial diagnostic tool for affected individuals and their families, enabling them to understand their risk for developing LQT6. With this knowledge, patients can take preventive measures, such as lifestyle adjustments and possibly medication, under the guidance of a healthcare professional to manage their condition effectively and reduce the risk of life-threatening cardiac events.

Description

KCNE2 Gene Long QT syndrome type 6 Genetic Test

Test Name: KCNE2 Gene Long QT syndrome type 6 Genetic Test

Components: DNA Labs UAE offers the KCNE2 Gene Long QT syndrome type 6 Genetic Test at a price of 4400.0 AED.

Sample Condition: The test can be conducted using blood or extracted DNA. Alternatively, one drop of blood can be placed on an FTA Card.

Report Delivery: The test results are typically delivered within 3 to 4 weeks.

Method: The KCNE2 Gene Long QT syndrome type 6 Genetic Test utilizes NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology.

Test Type: This test focuses on Cardiovascular Pneumology Disorders.

Doctor: The test is conducted under the supervision of a Cardiologist.

Test Department: The KCNE2 Gene Long QT syndrome type 6 Genetic Test is conducted in the Genetics department of DNA Labs UAE.

Pre Test Information: Prior to the test, a clinical history of the patient is taken. Additionally, a genetic counseling session is conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by KCNE2 Gene Long QT syndrome type 6 NGS Genetic DNA Test gene KCNE2.

Test Details: The KCNE2 gene is associated with Long QT syndrome type 6 (LQT6), a rare inherited heart rhythm disorder. LQT6 is characterized by a prolonged QT interval on an electrocardiogram (ECG), which can lead to abnormal heart rhythms and potentially life-threatening arrhythmias. The NGS genetic testing method allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes. In the case of LQT6, NGS technology is used to identify any mutations or genetic variants in the KCNE2 gene that may be causing the disorder. The test requires a DNA sample, typically obtained through a blood or saliva sample. The DNA is then sequenced using NGS technology to identify variations in the KCNE2 gene. The test results can confirm a diagnosis of LQT6 and assist in treatment decisions.

Note: It is important to consult a qualified healthcare professional, such as a genetic counselor or a medical geneticist, for genetic testing of LQT6 and other genetic disorders. They can provide guidance on the appropriateness of testing, explain the potential risks and benefits, and help interpret the results.

Test Details	The KCNE2 gene is associated with Long QT syndrome type 6 (LQT6), which is a rare inherited heart rhythm disorder. LQT6 is characterized by a prolonged QT interval on an electrocardiogram (ECG), which can lead to abnormal heart rhythms and potentially life-threatening arrhythmias. NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a type of genetic test that uses advanced sequencing technology to analyze multiple genes simultaneously. In the case of LQT6, NGS can be used to identify any mutations or genetic variants in the KCNE2 gene that may be causing the disorder. The NGS genetic test for LQT6 involves obtaining a DNA sample, usually through a blood or saliva sample, from the individual being tested. The DNA is then sequenced using NGS technology to identify any variations in the KCNE2 gene. The results of the test can help confirm a diagnosis of LQT6 and guide treatment decisions. It is important to note that genetic testing for LQT6 and other genetic disorders should be performed by a qualified healthcare professional, such as a genetic counselor or a medical geneticist.
