Cardiovascular Diseases General Panel [405 genes]

Cardiomyopathies, channelopathies and cardiac arrhythmias, congenital heart diseases, aortic diseases, skeletal myopathy, dyslipidemias and early atherosclerosis, and pulmonary hypertension.

• This panel includes all genes associated or potentially associated with the development of inherited cardiovascular diseases as well as genes associated with increased global/general cardiovascular risk.
• It covers a group of heterogeneous diseases, and genetic testing allows for the differential diagnosis between them. It is also useful when a multigenic etiology is suspected.
• It should be considered when an exhaustive study of all genes related to cardiovascular pathologies is intended, especially in cases of sudden death where clinical or pathological information is incomplete or the diagnosis is unclear.
• As for research, it is an attractive alternative to the exomes because it includes both genes with proven pathogenicity and candidate genes. The study ensures maximum yield with adequate coverages (which allows for assessing structural variants, such as large deletions and duplications).
