Test Details
The KCNJ2 gene is responsible for producing a protein called Kir2.1, which regulates the electrical activity of the heart. Mutations in the KCNJ2 gene can lead to Short QT syndrome type 3 (SQT3), a rare genetic disorder characterized by abnormally short QT intervals on an electrocardiogram (ECG). This condition can result in episodes of rapid heartbeats and potentially life-threatening arrhythmias.
NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) is a genetic testing method used to analyze multiple genes simultaneously, including the KCNJ2 gene. This allows for a comprehensive evaluation of the entire gene, enabling a more accurate diagnosis of Short QT syndrome type 3. Genetic testing for KCNJ2 gene mutations can confirm a diagnosis of Short QT syndrome type 3 and guide treatment decisions. It can also provide valuable information for family members who may be at risk of inheriting the condition.
It is important to note that genetic testing should be done under the guidance of a healthcare professional or genetic counselor, who can provide appropriate counseling and interpretation of the results.

The KCNJ2 gene is responsible for producing a protein called Kir2.1, which plays a crucial role in regulating the electrical activity of the heart. Mutations in the KCNJ2 gene can lead to a condition called Short QT syndrome type 3 (SQT3). Short QT syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that affects the electrical system of the heart, resulting in abnormally short QT intervals on an electrocardiogram (ECG). This can lead to episodes of rapid heartbeats (ventricular tachycardia) and potentially life-threatening arrhythmias. NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) is a genetic testing method that allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes, including the KCNJ2 gene, to identify any mutations or variations that may be present. NGS can provide a comprehensive evaluation of the entire gene, enabling a more accurate diagnosis of Short QT syndrome type 3. Genetic testing for KCNJ2 gene mutations can help confirm a diagnosis of Short QT syndrome type 3 and guide treatment decisions. It can also provide valuable information for family members who may be at risk of inheriting the condition.
