Alternative Panels Available

This is the core panel for Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM) and Conduction Defects. We also offer an expanded panel which includes an additional 16 genes (88 genes in total). See test details for the Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM) and Conduction Defects - Expanded Panel.

*Turnaround times are estimated from receipt of satisfactory specimen and test request form at the laboratory to release of clinical report. The turnaround time may vary depending on the nature of the specimen and the complexity of the investigation required. The above table is only a guideline and the complexity of a case and the requirement for further investigations may change this.

About Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM) and Conduction Defects

Cardiomyopathies are a heterogeneous group of pathologies of the heart which may affect its size, shape and/or thickness. Common cardiomyopathies include hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and dilated cardiomyopathy.

Conduction defects refer to abnormalities in the electrical conduction system of the heart, which is responsible for coordinating the heart's rhythm and ensuring that the heart muscles contract in a synchronised manner to effectively pump blood. These defects can lead to irregular heartbeats, slow heart rates, or even heart block.

Cardiomyopathy is a clinically heterogenous disease, and one of the factors that differentiates clinical phenotypes is genotype.
