Marfan Syndrome, Next-Gen Sequencing (8789)
Test Code: MISC
Synonyms/Keywords
Marfan Syndrome, Familial Aortic Aneurysm (FAA), Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm and Dissection (TAAD)
Test Components
​Marfan, Aneurysm and Related Disorders Next-Gen Sequencing Panel detects mutations in all coding domains and splice junctions of ACTA2, CBS, FBN1, FBN2, MYH11, COL3A1, SLC2A10, SMAD3, TGFBR1 and TGFBR2 genes.
Useful For
​Identification of gene mutations that cause Marfan syndrome, aneurysm and related disorders. Can aid diagnosis and may dramatically improve outcome
