GIA Genetics | Hereditary Cardiovascular Panel

Hereditary Cardiovascular Testing

High-performance, affordable, and accurate genetic profiling of up to 252 genes with known associations to multiple inherited cardiac conditions including:

Marfan Syndrome
Loeys-Dietz Syndrome
Short QT & Long QT Syndrome
Noonan Syndrome
Brugada Syndrome

Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy (ARVC)
Restrictive Cardiomyopathy
Non-Compaction Cardiomyopathy

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
Dilated Cardiomyopathy
Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia (CPVT)

Familial Aortic Aneurysm
Familial Atrial Fibrillation
Familial Hypercholesterolemia
Aortic Valve Disease
Structural Heart Disease

This panel is designed for individuals with a personal and/or family history of cardiovascular disease to help establish or confirm a diagnosis, explain risks, or guide management. Presymptomatic patients may also benefit from diagnostic genetic testing. Understanding your hereditary risk of developing a cardiovascular disorder can lead to more personalized care and potentially life-saving intervention.

Genetic testing is the process of taking a sample of a person’s DNA to look for changes that could cause inherited heart disease. Important changes in genes are called pathogenic mutations. The term “pathogenic” means disease-causing.

Genetic testing can be used to:

Clarify the diagnosis in a person who has, or is suspected to have, inherited heart disease
Identify the cause of heart disease in a family
Predict which family members are at-risk to develop the family’s heart condition
