The Cardiac Channelopathy Gene Panel by NGS is a comprehensive molecular test designed to detect genetic mutations associated with inherited electrical disorders of the heart. Metropolis Healthcare performs this analysis using advanced next-generation sequencing to study key ion-channel–related genes linked to conditions such as Long QT syndrome, Brugada syndrome, and catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia. This test helps confirm diagnosis, assess risk, and guide preventive and therapeutic strategies. It is especially valuable for individuals with unexplained arrhythmias or a family history of sudden cardiac events.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's):
What does this test include at Metropolis Healthcare?
It includes NGS-based analysis of multiple ion-channel genes associated with inherited cardiac arrhythmia syndromes.
How does Metropolis Healthcare perform this test?
DNA extracted from an EDTA blood sample is sequenced using high-depth next-generation sequencing to detect pathogenic variants.
Who should take this test at Metropolis Healthcare?
Individuals with unexplained fainting, arrhythmias, suspected channelopathies, or a family history of sudden cardiac death.
What sample is required at Metropolis Healthcare?
A routine EDTA blood sample is required for DNA extraction and sequencing.
How does this panel help clinicians at Metropolis Healthcare?
It confirms genetic causes of channelopathies, supports risk assessment, and guides treatment or preventive interventions.
Is any preparation needed before giving the sample at Metropolis Healthcare?
No fasting or special preparation is needed; a standard blood draw is sufficient.
How long does the test take at Metropolis Healthcare?
Turnaround time typically ranges from several days to a few weeks due to the complexity of analysis.
When will I receive the report from Metropolis Healthcare?
Reports are issued as per the molecular diagnostics timeline, with detailed expert genetic interpretation.
