Overview

Despite the association of the Brugada syndrome with the SCN5A genotype. Genetic testing can be used to support the diagnosis of Brugada syndrome and to detect relatives at risk.

Other Diagnostic Studies

Genetic testing may be helpful in the diagnosis of Brugada syndrome. Findings suggestive of Brugada syndrome include:[1][2][3][4]

  • Despite the association of the Brugada syndrome with the SCN5A genotype, there is unfortunately no association between the results of genetic testing and clinical prognosis.
  • Genetic testing can be used to support the diagnosis of Brugada syndrome and to detect relatives at risk.
