Number of Panel Genes28

The Marfan Syndrome, Loeys-Dietz Syndrome, Familial Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms & Dissections, and Related Disorders NGS Panel is designed to be a cost effective method for detecting mutations in genes causing aneurysms of the aorta and its major branches. Mutations in the genes on this panel cause numerous disorders with variable but often overlapping phenotypes that should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with aneurysms.

The Marfan Syndrome, Loeys-Dietz Syndrome, Familial Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms & Dissections, and Related Disorders NGS Panel is designed to be a cost effective method for detecting mutations in genes causing aneurysms of the aorta and its major branches. Mutations in the genes on this panel cause numerous disorders with variable but often overlapping phenotypes that should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with aneurysms. In many instances, different mutations within any gene have been reported to result in variable phenotypes. The genes constituting this panel have been carefully selected so that they are truly representative of those associated with aneurysms of the major vessels.

The Marfan syndrome, Loeys-Dietz syndrome, Familial thoracic aortic aneurysms & dissections, and related disorders NGS panel consists of twenty-eight genes: ACTA2, BGN, CBS, COL3A1, COL5A1, COL5A2, FBN1, FBN2, FLNA, FOXE3, LOX, LTPB3, MAT2A, MFAP5, MED12, MYH11, MYLK, NOTCH1, PRKG1, SKI, SLC2A10, SMAD2, SMAD3, SMAD4, TGFB2, TGFB3, TGFBR1 and TGFBR2.

Copy number variation (CNV) analysis of the Marfan syndrome, Loeys-Dietz syndrome, Familial thoracic aortic aneurysms & dissections, and related disorders genes is also offered as a panel. Additionally, CTGT offers a comprehensive test (both NGS and CNV panels) for these genes. Panel genes are also offered as individual sequencing and deletion/duplication tests, unless otherwise indicated.

The Effect of Genetics on Individual Heart Health: Early Identification of FH Variations to Optimize Treatment

Test must be ordered by a Physician.

Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a genetic disorder that is characterized by abnormally high blood levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, sometimes referred to as "bad cholesterol". This condition affects an estimated 1 in 250 people, and increases the likelihood of developing cardiovascular disease. In fact, FH is estimated to be the cause of 2-3% of heart attacks in individuals younger than age 60.
