DGX Cardio Screening
The DGx Cardio Screening by Identifi is an advanced, Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) genetic test designed to identify inherited genetic risks associated with severe heart disorders. It is primarily used for the early detection and proactive management of hereditary cardiomyopathies, arrhythmias, and aortopathies.
Why Get Screened?
- Early Detection: Identifies genetic variants before severe, sudden cardiac symptoms appear.
- Family Mapping: Allows for predictive and cascade testing among close family members to understand hereditary risks.
- Personalized Care: Provides physicians with specific data to tailor management, treatment, and surveillance strategies.
Who Should Get Tested?
- Individuals with a strong family history of sudden cardiac arrest or inherited heart disease.
- People showing early or atypical clinical signs of cardiovascular disorders.
- Those looking to understand their personal risk profile for preventive family planning.
Test Details
- Sample Type: Blood sample (typically drawn from the inner elbow).
- Testing Methodology: Targeted multi-gene panel sequencing.
