Use

This test is used for diagnostic testing for early-onset coronary artery disease and familial hypercholesterolemia and presymptomatic testing for family members.

Special Instructions

In cases where there is a known variant documented in the family, a physician may prefer to order the GeneSeq® Cardio Targeted Variant Analysis [485208]. Test orders must include attestation that the provider has the patient's informed consent for genetic testing.

Limitations

The technologies used in this test do not detect germline mosaicism, large chromosomal aberrations including rearrangements and gene fusions, or variants in regions not included in this test. The variant classification may change over time with more information. There can be false positive or false negative results due to rare genetic variants, sex chromosome abnormalities, pseudogene interference, blood transfusions, bone marrow transplantation, somatic or tissue-specific mosaicism, mislabeled samples, or erroneous representation of family relationships. This test has not been cleared or approved by the FDA.
