Inherited cardiomyopathies are a group of genetically heterogeneous cardiac diseases that are relatively common in the general population They are associated with heart failure and sudden cardiac death and have a substantial genetic component. Familial inheritance is common and typically follows an autosomal dominant pattern, though other inheritance are also … View more

Variant Interpretation:
What is the protocol for interpreting a variation as a VUS? Help
All VUS's are reported

Are family members with defined clinical status recruited to assess significance of VUS without charge? Help
Yes. *Please call. Offered on a case-by-case basis.

Will the lab re-contact the ordering physician if variant interpretation changes? Help
No. Ordering provider is encouraged to periodically contact the lab to see if there is any new information available. However, if the ordering physician has GeneInsight Clinic, they may receive automatic updates on classification through that program.

Analytical Validity: Help
Technical sensitivity of this assay is 99.10% (95% CI: 99.04-99.16%) and positive predictive value is 99.39% (95% CI: 99.37-99.41%).
Assay limitations: Help
Specific types of genetic variation, such as triplet repeat expansions, structural variation, and copy number events are currently not reliably detected by this assay. Additionally, while genome sequencing covers ~95% of the genome; there are certain regions for which the assay may fail to adequately generate sequence i nformation, such … View more
