Background:

The inherited cardiomyopathies comprise a group of genetically heterogeneous diseases, the most common of which are hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC), and left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC).  These disorders have an impact across all age groups.  Overall, the prevalence of these disorders is estimated at approximately 1/500 (0.2%).  This next-generation sequencing test is designed to detect mutations in the coding region of 44 genes associated with dilated cardiomyopathy.

Reasons for Referral:

  • Echocardiogram results suspicious for cardiomyopathy.
  • Clinical presentation consistent with cardiomyopathy.
  • Positive family history for cardiomyopathy (targeted testing is available if familial mutation is known).
  • Carrier testing.

Additional Info:

The Knight Cancer Institute at Oregon Health & Science University is a pioneer in the field of precision cancer medicine. The institute's director, Brian Druker, M.D., helped prove it was possible to shut down just the cells that enable cancer to grow. This breakthrough has made once-fatal forms of the disease manageable and transformed how cancer is treated. The OHSU Knight Cancer Institute is the only National Cancer Institute-designated Cancer Center between Sacramento and Seattle – an honor earned only by the nation's top cancer centers. It is headquarters for one of the National Cancer Institute's largest research collaboratives, SWOG, in addition to offering the latest treatments and technologies as well as hundreds of research studies and clinical trials.
