81860-9
LaboratoryHypertrophic cardiomyopathy gene targeted mutation analysis in Blood or Tissue by Sequencing
Definition
Multi-gene analysis by sequencing methods for variants known to be associated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). The genes/variants included and detection rates will vary across laboratories. To report the genes included in the test, use a "gene mutations tested for" code (e.g. [LOINC: 36908-2]).
