SC5NA Gene mutation

[Lilbandit88]

hey, I’ve just been diagnosed with an SC5NA gene mutation after having genetic testing done which has identified the cause of my Brugada, I’ve now been advised I’m at risk of cardiomyopathy. Has anyone else experienced this diagnosis and can offer any advice?

Hi, I have cardiomyopathy with no cause given. Diagnosed last Nov. Awaiting a biventricular pacemaker to assist. I presume you are in UK? I am in NZ and very interested to get genetic test done. Did it cost you? What was involved?

Hey! Yes I’m in the UK, my cardiologist told me that they wanted to do a genetic screen (from my understanding it’s pretty standard for Brugada.) I was told 9/10 they don’t find anything. Was just a simple blood test on the NHS with a 12 week wait for results.
