Cardiac Channelopathies
Clinical genetic testing for cardiac channelopathies may involve one or more of the genetic diseases characterized by abnormalities in the function of ion channels on the surface of heart muscle cells.
This testing is for medical, clinical purposes.
This testing is available if indicated by further evaluation and consultation with a trained genetic professional. Use the zip code search box to find a trained genetic professional in your area.
Heart Attack (as part of Whole Genome Scan)
Testing for heart attack susceptibility may be available as part of a whole genome scan.
Whole genome scanning looks for SNPs that are present throughout the entire genome that have been linked to susceptibility to a number of different health conditions and physical traits. A SNP is a genetic change in which one "letter" of DNA differs from the usual "letter" at that point in the DNA sequence. The number of conditions, traits, and SNPs tested for varies by provider.
Whole genome scanning is for informational purposes only and is not a medical (clinical) genetic test.
This testing is available online through the Direct to Consumer Genetic Testing providers listed below. A consultation with a trained genetic professional may be useful.

Heart Disease Susceptibility - Clinical Genetic Testing
Heart disease is a multifactorial condition, as both genetic and non-genetic factors are likely to play a role in the development of the disease. Families in which there are multiple affected, close relatives are more likely to have a significant genetic component.
Clinical genetic testing for some genetic causes of heart disease may be available through offline genetic testing providers if indicated by further evaluation and consultation with a trained genetic professional. Use the zip code search box to find a trained genetic professional in your area.
Atrial Fibrillation (as part of Whole Genome Scan)
Informational genetic testing for atrial fibrillation susceptibility may also be available as part of a whole genome scan. Whole genome scanning looks for SNPs that are present throughout the entire genome that have been linked to susceptibility to a number of different health conditions and physical traits. A SNP is a genetic change in which one "letter" of DNA differs from the usual "letter" at that point in the DNA sequence. The number of conditions, traits, and SNPs tested for varies by provider.
Whole genome scanning is for informational purposes only and is not a medical (clinical) genetic test. As such, other types of genetic testing may be more informative.

Familial Atrial Fibrillation
Clinical genetic testing for familial atrial fibrillation looks for mutations in different genes causing the disease.
This testing is for medical, clinical purposes.
This testing is only available through offline genetic testing providers if indicated by further evaluation and consultation with a trained genetic professional. Use the zip code search box to find a trained genetic professional in your area.
Warfarin (Coumadin®) - Drug Response Testing
Genetic testing looks for variations that have been proposed to influence the way the body metabolizes Warfarin. Genetic testing may help doctors prescribe more effective and safer medications. The variations and genes tested for varies by provider.
This testing is for medical, clinical purposes.
This testing is available online at the Direct to Consumer Genetic Testing providers listed below.
This testing is also available through offline genetic testing providers if indicated by further evaluation and consultation with a trained genetic professional. Use the zip code search box to find a trained genetic professional in your area.

Heart Disease - SNP Testing
SNP testing for susceptibility to heart disease looks for a single SNP or multiple SNPs that have been linked to this trait. A SNP is a genetic change in which one "letter" of DNA differs from the usual "letter" at that point in the DNA sequence. The number of SNPs tested for varies by provider. This testing is considered for informational purposes only and is not a medical (clinical) genetic test.

Dilated Cardiomyopathy - Selected Mutations (as part of Whole Genome Scan)
Dilated cardiomyopathy testing by whole genome scanning looks for selected
mutations in the gene(s) that cause familial forms of this condition. Of note, this testing does not detect all known disease-causing mutations. Depending on the
methodology used, whole genome scanning is typically not as accurate
as conventional molecular genetic testing methods.
As such, individuals who are pregnant, or have a personal or family history of the
disorder, may be better
candidates for conventional molecular testing methods. Test results
should be discussed with a genetic professional.

Heart Attack - Informational Susceptibility Testing
SNP testing for susceptibility to heart attack looks for a single SNP or multiple SNPs that have been linked to this trait. A SNP is a genetic change in which one "letter" of DNA differs from the usual "letter" at that point in the DNA sequence. The number of SNPs tested for varies by provider. At this point, this testing is considered for informational purposes only and is not a medical (clinical) genetic test.
