Order Code MFRGP Marfan Syndrome and Related Disorders Multi-Gene Panel, Varies

Useful For

Providing a comprehensive genetic evaluation for patients with a personal or family history suggestive of Marfan syndrome, Loeys-Dietz syndrome, thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissections, or a related disorder

 

Second-tier testing for patients in whom previous targeted gene variant analyses for specific Marfan and related genes were negative

 

Establishing a diagnosis of a Marfan or a related disorder in some cases, allowing for appropriate management and surveillance for aneurysms and other disease features based on the gene involved

 

Identifying variants within genes known to be associated with increased risk for aneurysms and other disease features allowing for predictive testing of at-risk family members

Reporting Name

Marfan and Related Genetic Panel

Specimen Type

Varies


Advisory Information


Targeted testing for familial variants (also called site-specific or known mutation testing) is available for all genes on this panel; see KVAR1 / Known Variant Analysis-1 Variant, KVAR2 / Known Variant Analysis-2 Variants, or KVAR3 / Known Variant Analysis-3+ Variants. Call 800-533-1710 to confirm the appropriate test for targeted testing if testing for a gene not included on this panel, or if testing for more than 5 variants is needed.
