MYH11 Gene Aortic Aneurysm Familial Thoracic Type 4 NGS Genetic DNA Test
Comprehensive Genetic Screening for Aortic Health
The MYH11 Gene Aortic Aneurysm Familial Thoracic Type 4 NGS Genetic DNA Test represents a breakthrough in cardiovascular genetic medicine, offering precise detection of mutations associated with inherited thoracic aortic disease. This advanced diagnostic tool utilizes next-generation sequencing technology to analyze the MYH11 gene, providing critical insights for individuals and families affected by this potentially life-threatening condition.
What This Test Measures and Detects
This specialized genetic test specifically targets the MYH11 gene, which encodes the smooth muscle myosin heavy chain protein crucial for maintaining aortic wall integrity. The test identifies:
- Pathogenic variants in the MYH11 gene associated with familial thoracic aortic aneurysms
- Specific mutations linked to aortic dissection risk
- Genetic markers for thoracic aortic disease type 4
- Inherited patterns of aortic wall weakness
- Genetic predisposition to progressive aortic dilation
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test
This test is particularly recommended for individuals experiencing or concerned about:
- Family history of thoracic aortic aneurysms or dissections
- Unexplained chest pain or back discomfort
- Known MYH11 gene mutations in family members
- Early-onset cardiovascular issues without clear cause
- Connective tissue disorder symptoms
- Planning pregnancy with family history of aortic disease
Significant Benefits of Genetic Testing
Undergoing MYH11 genetic testing provides numerous advantages:
- Early detection of aortic disease predisposition
- Personalized surveillance and monitoring plans
- Informed family planning decisions
- Targeted preventive medical interventions
- Reduced anxiety through definitive diagnosis
- Improved surgical timing when necessary
- Comprehensive genetic counseling opportunities
Understanding Your Test Results
Your genetic test results will be carefully interpreted by our expert genetic counselors:
- Positive Result: Indicates presence of MYH11 mutation requiring regular aortic monitoring and potential medical management
- Negative Result: Suggests no inherited MYH11 mutation, though continued cardiovascular health monitoring remains important
- Variant of Uncertain Significance: Requires additional family studies and ongoing research correlation
- Carrier Status: Important information for family planning and genetic counseling
