Cerebral Cavernous Malformations Panel
Use
This test is intended for individuals with familial cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) or those with multiple CCMs detected through brain imaging. It is also applicable for individuals with a single CCM and a family history of the condition. The test helps in diagnosing CCM by analyzing genetic mutations that are known to cause this condition, allowing for a more accurate diagnosis and guiding treatment decisions.
Special Instructions

Limitations
This test may not detect all genetic causes of cerebral cavernous malformations. It is specifically designed to identify known mutations within the three genes covered by the panel. Rare variants or mutations not covered by the panel may not be detected. Limitations are related to the inherent constraints of NGS technology, including possible sequencing errors and coverage gaps.
