GeneSeq® Cardio: Familial Congenital Heart Disease Panel
Also known as: Atrial septal defects, CHARGE syndrome
Use
This test is used for diagnostic testing for congenital heart disease, including atrial septal defects and CHARGE syndrome. It also is used for presymptomatic testing for family members.
Special Instructions
Test orders must include an attestation that the provider has obtained patient's informed consent for genetic testing. If there is a known variant in the family, physicians may opt for the GeneSeq® Cardio Targeted Variant Analysis [485208].
Limitations
The technologies employed do not detect germline mosaicism or large chromosomal aberrations including rearrangements and gene fusions, nor do they account for regions or genes not included in this test. Inter/intragenic variant interactions or repeat expansions are not assessed. Variant classification can evolve over time with new data. False results may arise due to rare variants, chromosomal anomalies, pseudogenes, sample mix-ups, or family relationship errors.
