Invitae Cardiomyopathy Comprehensive Panel
Test description
This test provides a comprehensive analysis of the genes associated with inherited cardiomyopathy conditions. Given the clinical overlap between different cardiomyopathy conditions, comprehensive testing enables a more efficient evaluation of multiple conditions based on a single indication.
Individuals with clinical symptoms of an inherited cardiomyopathy may benefit from diagnostic genetic testing to establish or confirm diagnosis, clarify risks, or inform management. Asymptomatic individuals within a family with a known pathogenic variant may also benefit by avoiding activities and medications that can trigger symptoms.

Alternative tests to consider
The Invitae Arrhythmia and Cardiomyopathy Comprehensive panel has been designed to provide a broad genetic analysis of arrhythmia and cardiomyopathy. Depending on the individual’s clinical and family history, this broader panel may be appropriate. This broader panel can be ordered at no additional charge.
Clinical information
Disorders tested
- arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC)
- dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM)
- hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM)
- Fabry disease
- left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC)
- transthyretin amyloidosis
- genes on this panel are also associated with other disorders
Clinical description
Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle that causes the heart to thicken, enlarge, or become rigid. These changes to the cardiac muscle cause the heart to weaken and may lead to heart failure. Cardiomyopathy can be acquired, often from another type of disease, or it can be inherited. The most common types of inherited cardiomyopathy include hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC), left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) and restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM).
Cardiomyopathy may also be one feature of a multi-system disorder, such as Noonan syndrome, Fabry disease, Barth syndrome, Danon disease, glycogen storage disease, transthyretin amyloidosis, various types of muscular dystrophy or myopathy, or combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency. Please note that the genes associated with Noonan syndrome and/or autosomal recessive syndromic pediatric cardiomyopathy can be included when placing an order for this test.
Clinical sensitivity
The clinical sensitivity of this test is dependent on the patient’s underlying genetic condition. This test covers all of the common genetic causes of the hereditary cardiomyopathy conditions HCM, DCM, LVNC, and ARVC. For each condition, the chart below shows the percentage of clinical cases in which a pathogenic variant is expected to be identified in one of the genes on this panel.
| Clinical sensitivity by underlying condition | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| ARVC | DCM | HCM | LVNC |
| 50% | 20%-40% | 40%-60% | 20%-30% |
Inheritance
The majority of inherited cardiomyopathy conditions exhibit an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. Alternate inheritance patterns are listed below.
Autosomal recessive conditions
- 3-methylglutaconic aciduria, type V
- AGL-related glycogen storage disorder
- Alstrom syndrome
- Carvajal syndrome
- combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency due to ELAC2, MTO1 or SDHA
- CPT II deficiency
- DOLK-related congenital disorder of glycosylation
- Naxos syndrome
- Pompe disease
- primary carnitine deficiency
- TMEM70-related mitochondrial complex V deficiency
- VLCAD deficiency
X-linked conditions
- Barth syndrome
- Danon disease
- Duchenne muscular dystrophy
- Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy
- Fabry disease
Penetrance
Most genetic forms of cardiomyopathy exhibit reduced penetrance, meaning that not everyone who inherits a predisposition to develop cardiomyopathy will go on to manifest the disorder. Individuals with a genetic predisposition to develop cardiomyopathy have an increased risk for cardiomyopathy at any age and frequently present with symptoms at younger ages compared to individuals with acquired cardiomyopathy. Symptoms are variable, even among affected members of the same family.
The age of onset and penetrance of syndromic causes of cardiomyopathy is dependent on the disorder. For example, Barth syndrome and Duchenne or Becker muscular dystrophy commonly present in males in childhood, while cardiomyopathy due to Fabry disease or transthyretin amyloidosis often does not present until mid to late adulthood.
Prevalence/Incidence
The prevalence of genetic forms of cardiomyopathy is dependent on the underlying condition.
| Condition | Estimated prevalence | Additional information |
|---|---|---|
| HCM | ~1 in 500 | Recently, the prevalence has been suggested to be as high as 1 in 200 individuals. |
| DCM | ~1 in 2,500 to 1 in 3,000 | |
| ARVC | ~1 in 2,000 to ~1:5,000 | Prevalence is increased in Italy and Greece, where it can be as high as 1 in 125 to 1 in 250. |
Considerations for testing
This test may be considered for individuals with:
- unexplained cardiomyopathy
- cardiomyopathy that may be consistent with multiple genetic cardiomyopathy conditions

Assay
Assay and technical information
Invitae is a College of American Pathologists (CAP)-accredited and Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA)-certified clinical diagnostic laboratory performing full-gene sequencing and deletion/duplication analysis using next-generation sequencing technology (NGS).
Our sequence analysis covers clinically important regions of each gene, including coding exons, +/- 10 base pairs of adjacent intronic sequence in the transcript listed below. In addition, analysis covers the select non-coding variants specifically defined in the table below. Any variants that fall outside these regions are not analyzed. Any specific limitations in the analysis of these genes are also listed in the table below.
Based on validation study results, this assay achieves >99% analytical sensitivity and specificity for single nucleotide variants, insertions and deletions <15bp in length, and exon-level deletions and duplications. Invitae's methods also detect insertions and deletions larger than 15bp but smaller than a full exon but sensitivity for these may be marginally reduced. Invitae’s deletion/duplication analysis determines copy number at a single exon resolution at virtually all targeted exons. However, in rare situations, single-exon copy number events may not be analyzed due to inherent sequence properties or isolated reduction in data quality. Certain types of variants, such as structural rearrangements (e.g. inversions, gene conversion events, translocations, etc.) or variants embedded in sequence with complex architecture (e.g. short tandem repeats or segmental duplications), may not be detected. Additionally, it may not be possible to fully resolve certain details about variants, such as mosaicism, phasing, or mapping ambiguity. Unless explicitly guaranteed, sequence changes in the promoter, non-coding exons, and other non-coding regions are not covered by this assay. Please consult the test definition on our website for details regarding regions or types of variants that are covered or excluded for this test. This report reflects the analysis of an extracted genomic DNA sample. In very rare cases, (circulating hematolymphoid neoplasm, bone marrow transplant, recent blood transfusion) the analyzed DNA may not represent the patient's constitutional genome.
Assay notes
Please note that TTN has multiple transcripts. Testing and variant nomenclature for TTN is based on the transcript NM_001267550.2, which includes exons of TTN that are not expressed in the heart. The analysis and interpretation is performed using the clinically-relevant transcript, NM_133378.4, which includes the exons of TTN expressed in the heart.
