Invitae Brugada Syndrome Test
Use
This test is for individuals with a clinical diagnosis of Brugada syndrome, including up to 20 genes associated with Brugada syndrome or other inherited arrhythmia conditions. It assists in diagnosing or confirming the disease, clarifying risks, or guiding management for symptomatic individuals. Asymptomatic family members with a known pathogenic variant can reduce risk by avoiding triggers like certain medications.
