SCN1B Gene Familial Atrial Fibrillation Type 13 NGS Genetic DNA Test
Introduction
The SCN1B Gene Familial Atrial Fibrillation Type 13 NGS Genetic DNA Test is a groundbreaking diagnostic tool designed to detect genetic mutations associated with familial atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation is a common heart rhythm disorder that can lead to serious complications, including stroke and heart failure. Understanding your genetic predisposition can significantly impact your treatment and prevention strategies.
What the Test Measures
This test specifically analyzes the SCN1B gene, which is linked to the electrical activity of the heart. By identifying mutations or variations in this gene, healthcare providers can assess the risk of developing atrial fibrillation, allowing for timely intervention.
Who Should Consider This Test?
Individuals with a family history of atrial fibrillation or those experiencing symptoms such as:
- Palpitations
- Dizziness or lightheadedness
- Shortness of breath
- Fatigue
are encouraged to consider this test. Additionally, individuals with risk factors like hypertension, coronary artery disease, or other cardiovascular issues may also benefit from genetic testing.
Benefits of Taking the Test
Taking the SCN1B Gene Familial Atrial Fibrillation Type 13 NGS Genetic DNA Test offers several advantages:
- Early detection of genetic predisposition to atrial fibrillation.
- Personalized treatment plans based on genetic findings.
- Informed family planning and risk assessment for relatives.
- Potential reduction in the risk of serious complications through proactive management.
Understanding Your Results
Results from the SCN1B Gene test will indicate whether any mutations are present. A genetic counselor will help interpret these results, providing guidance on the implications for your health and the health of your family members.

Additional Information
Turnaround time for results is approximately 3 to 4 weeks. The test requires a blood sample or extracted DNA, or even one drop of blood on an FTA card. Prior to the test, a genetic counseling session is recommended to gather the clinical history of the patient and to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by the SCN1B gene.
