Mrs. Priya Banerjee

Age: 52, Guwahati

Condition: Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM)

"I modified my both son's life to save their lives"

02-08-2023

Mrs. Priya Banerjee, a 52-year-old woman from Guwahati, was experiencing heart disease symptoms for 4 years with episodes of palpitation, chest tightness, anxiety, fatigue, and recent exertional syncope. During her workup, transthoracic echocardiogram revealed left-side heart failure with an ejection fraction of 25%. Her family history was concerning - her father had undergone heart transplantation surgery with a similar clinical picture.

Genetic Testing Results

Various variations in genes coding crucial proteins in cardiac muscle structure like Titin, Obscurin, MYH6, LAMA4, and proteins involved in channels such as CAVNA1C, SCN1B, and SCN5A were detected.

After genetic counseling, her physician suggested cardiac genetic testing for her two sons. The results were eye-opening:

Elder Son

45% risk of developing DCM

Younger Son

15% risk of developing DCM

The cardiologist framed a management plan based on their genetic tests to improve their lifestyle and delay the chances of complications. Both boys now maintain the lifestyle suggested by their doctor.

Reena Sharma

Age: 45, Gujarat

Condition: Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

"I'm glad I know my genes"

02-08-2023

Reena, a 45-year-old vice president at one of India's top banks, was diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer. Having witnessed her mother's painful battle with cancer when she was just 22, Reena suspected genetics played a role in her diagnosis. Her oncologist referred her to a genetic counselor after reviewing her extensive family history. The genetic counselor diagnosed Reena with a BRCA gene mutation that increased her lifetime risk of breast cancer by 72%.

Recovery & Transformation

"After my surgery, it took a long time for me to process how I looked. My mobility and flexibility, being able to lift my arms again, cook for my daughters, doing exercise and so on. I wanted to regain that." Reena began to recover slowly and gradually. Her physical and emotional wellbeing improved significantly.

"I feel I came to know my genes and let me help others to know their future and take action as per that as I can feel their pain and emotional trauma. My genetic counselor helped me a lot by letting me know regarding lifestyle I need to change."
