Marfan Syndrome and Related Aortopathies Panel
Use
This test is designed for individuals with relevant features or with a clinical or suspected diagnosis of Marfan syndrome, thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection (TAAD), or those with a family history of these conditions who lack specific genetic information. It helps in confirming genetic contributions, providing guidance for management, and assessing recurrence risks in family members.
Special Instructions
Not provided.
Limitations
The test is comprehensive, covering 40 genes related to Marfan syndrome and related aortopathies. However, genetic heterogeneity in these conditions might mean that not all genetic causes are detectable by this panel. Variants of uncertain significance may be found, and the test might not cover all novel or rare variants fully.
