Providing a comprehensive genetic evaluation for patients with a personal or family history suggestive of hereditary dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM)
Establishing a diagnosis of a hereditary DCM, and in some cases, allowing for appropriate management and surveillance for disease features based on the gene involved
Identifying a pathogenic variant within a gene known to be associated with disease features that allows for predictive testing of at-risk family members
This test uses Sanger sequencing to test for variants in certain exons of the following genes:
MYH6 exon 26
MYH7 exon 27
Identification of a pathogenic variant may assist with prognosis, clinical management, familial screening, and genetic counseling.
Prior Authorization is available for this assay; see Special Instructions.
Custom Sequence Capture and Targeted Next-Generation Sequencing followed by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and supplemental Sanger Sequencing
