Asper Cardiogenetics updates

We now offer an NGS panel for Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia. Additionally, Noonan Syndrome test has been upgraded to Noonan Spectrum Disorders/Rasopathies test including several new disease-causing genes. All NGS panels in Asper Cardiogenetics testing menu are covered by CNV analysis based on sequencing data. Visit https://www.asperbio.com/asper-cardiogenetics/ to learn more.

List of diseases covered by the panel


Lab method: NGS panel with CNV analysis

TAT: 6-9 weeks

Specimen requirements: 2-4 ml of blood with anticoagulant EDTA

1 µg DNA in TE, AE or pure sterile water at 100-250 ng/µl
The A260/A280 ratio should be 1.8-2.0. DNA sample should be run on an agarose gel as a single band, showing no degradation, alongside with a quantitative DNA marker.
