Targeted Cardiomyopathy panel
- GTR Test IDHelpEach Test is a specific, orderable test from a particular laboratory, and is assigned a unique GTR accession number. The format is GTR00000001.1, with a leading prefix 'GTR' followed by 8 digits, a period, then 1 or more digits representing the version. When a laboratory updates a registered test, a new version number is assigned.: GTR000561541.2

Clinical testHelpIn the U.S., clinical tests must be performed under CLIA certification. When a lab uses the same methods for a test in both clinical and research settings, the test appears as two separate GTR records. for Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy

Overview
Test name
HelpThe name the laboratory assigns the test. Used as the default title of the page specific to the test.Targeted Cardiomyopathy panel
This is a clinical test intended for HelpPurposes or indications for the test. Lab-provided.: Diagnosis, Mutation Confirmation, Pre-symptomatic, Predictive, Prognostic, Risk Assessment, Therapeutic management
Click Indication tab for more information.
Tests can be referred to the lab either directly by patient/family or by referring physician. The first step will be to contact the Genetic counselor or the medical director of the lab to have detailed instruction that vary upon the specific test that is requested.
Since the Lab work in conjunction with an outpatient clinic for inherited arrhythmogenic diseases the test can also be requested directly from the Molecular Cardiology team members.
