Number of Panel Genes29

Connective Tissue Gene Tests offers three options for skeletal dysplasia testing. The core skeletal dysplasia panel is designed to detect mutations in genes responsible for lethal or severe skeletal dysplasias that occur with a high incidence. The extended skeletal dysplasia panel contains genes linked to disorders that are also phenotypically severe but occur less frequently.

Connective Tissue Gene Tests offers three options for skeletal dysplasia testing. The core skeletal dysplasia panel is designed to detect mutations in genes responsible for lethal or severe skeletal dysplasias that occur with a high incidence. The extended skeletal dysplasia panel contains genes linked to disorders that are also phenotypically severe but occur less frequently. These two panels may also be ordered as a single combined panel (Skeletal dysplasia core & extended NGS panel). The Skeletal dysplasia core and extended panel may also be combined with the Skeletal ciliopathy NGS panel.

The genes constituting these panels have been selected with input from several clinical geneticists with expertise in the skeletal dysplasia field.

The Skeletal dysplasia core & extended NGS panel consists of twenty-nine genes: ALPL, ARSL, COL1A1, COL1A2, COL2A1, COL10A1, COL11A1, COL11A2, DDR2, EBP, FGFR3, INPPL1, NKX3-2, FLNB, HSPG2, LBR, LIFR, MMP9, MMP13, NSDHL, PEX7, PTH1R, RMRP, SBDS, SLC26A2, SLC35D1, SOX9, TRIP11, TRPV4.

Copy number variation (CNV) analysis of the skeletal dysplasia 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.
