HelpTest Code ARVGG Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy Gene Panel, Varies
Ordering Guidance
This test is intended for genetic screening for and diagnosis of arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy.
For comprehensive inherited cardiac arrhythmia genetic testing, order CARGG / Comprehensive Arrhythmia Gene Panel, Varies.
For comprehensive cardiomyopathy genetic testing, order CCMGG / Comprehensive Cardiomyopathy Gene Panel, Varies.
For comprehensive cardiac arrhythmia and cardiomyopathy testing, order CACMG / Comprehensive Arrhythmia and Cardiomyopathy Gene Panel, Varies.
Targeted testing for familial variants (also called site-specific or known mutations testing) is available for the genes on this panel. See FMTT / Familial Variant, Targeted Testing, Varies. To obtain more information about this testing option, call 800-533-1710.
Customization of this panel and single gene analysis for any gene present on this panel are available. For more information see CGPH / Custom Gene Panel, Hereditary, Next-Generation Sequencing, Varies.

Establishing a diagnosis of a hereditary form of arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy
Genetics Test Information
This test utilizes next-generation sequencing to detect single nucleotide and copy number variants in 18 genes associated with hereditary forms of arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy: CDH2, DES, DSC2, DSG2, DSP, EMD, FLNC, JUP, LMNA, NKX2-5, PKP2, PLN, PPA2, PRKAG2, RBM20, RYR2, TMEM43, and TTN. See Targeted Genes and Methodology Details for Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy Gene Panel and Method Description for additional details.
Identification of a disease-causing variant may assist with diagnosis, prognosis, clinical management, familial screening, and genetic counseling for hereditary forms of arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy.
Prior Authorization is available for this assay.
