CARDIOVASCULAR & PULMONARY DISORDERS PANEL

Overview

The genetic landscape of inherited cardiopulmonary disease spans sarcomeric and cytoskeletal defects leading to cardiomyopathy, ion channel and desmosomal abnormalities predisposing to malignant arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death, connective tissue and vascular wall disorders causing aortopathy and pulmonary arterial hypertension, and monogenic causes of congenital heart disease, thrombophilia, and primary pulmonary parenchymal disease. Germline disruption across these pathways underlies a wide spectrum of presentations, including unexplained syncope or resuscitated cardiac arrest, dilated, hypertrophic, or arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy, long QT and other channelopathies, heritable aortic aneurysm and dissection syndromes, recurrent venous thromboembolism at a young age, pulmonary hypertension, interstitial and surfactant-related lung disease, and chronic or recurrent respiratory failure. Early, accurate molecular diagnosis is critical, as many hereditary cardiopulmonary conditions have specific surveillance, lifestyle modification, pharmacologic, and interventional strategies that can mitigate risk of sudden death, heart failure progression, or irreversible pulmonary vascular damage.

PreCheck Health Services’ Cardiovascular & Pulmonary Disorders Panel is an advanced targeted exome assay encompassing key genes involved in sarcomeric and cytoskeletal structure, ion channel and conduction system function, desmosomal integrity, cardiac transcriptional control and morphogenesis, vascular smooth muscle and extracellular matrix homeostasis, coagulation and thrombophilia, and pulmonary vascular, surfactant, and ciliary biology. The panel is curated using evidence from ACMG, ClinGen, OMIM, GeneReviews, and current peer-reviewed literature to prioritize genes with well-established gene–disease relationships and actionable phenotypes. This approach enables identification of clinically meaningful germline variants that support definitive diagnosis, refine etiologic classification, guide primary and secondary prevention (including ICD placement, pharmacotherapy, and surgical or catheter-based intervention), inform aortic and pulmonary vascular surveillance and transplant decisions, and facilitate cascade testing and reproductive counseling for at-risk relatives.

Who Benefits from Cardiopulmonary Disease Testing

This assay is designed for patients presenting with or at risk for:

Unexplained syncope, resuscitated cardiac arrest, or a family history of sudden unexplained death, particularly at a young age or during exertion

Dilated, hypertrophic, restrictive, noncompaction, or arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy where a hereditary etiology is suspected

❖ Primary electrical disorders of the heart (e.g., long QT syndrome, Brugada syndrome, catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, conduction system disease) with or without structural heart abnormalities

❖ Unexplained pulmonary arterial hypertension, chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, or right heart failure with suspicion for a genetic pulmonary vascular disorder

❖ Early-onset, familial, or otherwise atypical interstitial or parenchymal lung disease, surfactant dysfunction, or unexplained chronic respiratory failure

❖ Primary ciliary dyskinesia, recurrent sinopulmonary infections, or bronchiectasis where a monogenic disorder of mucociliary clearance is suspected

Recurrent venous thromboembolism, pulmonary embolism, or thrombosis at a young age, especially in the setting of a positive family history or minimal provoking factors

❖ Individuals with a personal or family history of confirmed or suspected hereditary cardiomyopathy, channelopathy, aortopathy, or pulmonary disorder in whom the specific molecular diagnosis remains unresolved, or where clarifying carrier status and recurrence risk is important for reproductive planning and cascade testing

❖ Enable targeted cascade testing of relatives once a pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant is identified, clarifying carrier status, recurrence risk, and need for cardiology or pulmonology surveillance

❖ Integrate germline results with imaging, electrophysiology, pulmonary function testing, and clinical history to build durable, gene-informed care plans that coordinate pediatric and adult cardiology, pulmonology, genetics, and primary care over the patient’s lifespan

Clinical Utility and Integration

Cardiovascular & Pulmonary Disorders testing provides clinically actionable information across cardiology, electrophysiology, cardiothoracic surgery, pulmonology, critical care, medical genetics, pediatrics, and internal medicine, directly influencing diagnosis, risk assessment, surveillance, and treatment strategies.

Risk Stratification and Diagnostic Clarification Identify pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants underlying hereditary cardiomyopathies, channelopathies and conduction disorders, heritable aortopathy and other vascular syndromes, pulmonary arterial hypertension, primary ciliary dyskinesia, monogenic interstitial and surfactant-related lung disease, and syndromic conditions with major cardiopulmonary involvement. Distinguish primary genetic disease from acquired or secondary etiologies, refine differential diagnoses generated by imaging, ECG, catheterization, or lung function testing, and convert “probable” or “suspected” inherited cardiopulmonary disease into a definitive, gene-based diagnosis.

Family Risk Assessment, Cascade Testing, and Reproductive Counseling

Clarify recurrence risk for families and identify at-risk relatives once a familial variant is known, particularly in the context of sudden cardiac death, early aortic dissection, or severe pulmonary hypertension or lung disease. Enable early surveillance and anticipatory guidance in gene-positive but asymptomatic individuals (e.g., echocardiography, cardiac MRI, ECG/ambulatory monitoring, pulmonary vascular and parenchymal imaging), and inform reproductive planning, including options such as prenatal or preimplantation genetic testing when appropriate.

Treatment Selection, Device Strategy, and Therapeutic Optimization

Use genotype to refine decisions regarding ICD or pacemaker implantation, antiarrhythmic or beta-blocker therapy, anticoagulation, pulmonary vasodilator regimens, and timing of surgical or catheter-based interventions for aortic, valvular, or congenital heart disease. Inform thresholds for prophylactic aortic surgery, exercise and occupational restrictions, pregnancy management in heritable aortopathy or cardiomyopathy, and the selection or avoidance of medications that may prolong QT interval, provoke arrhythmia, worsen heart failure, or aggravate pulmonary hypertension or interstitial lung disease in specific genetic backgrounds.

Integrated Longitudinal Cardiopulmonary Care

Support multidisciplinary teams (cardiology, electrophysiology, cardiothoracic surgery, pulmonology, transplant, medical genetics, anesthesiology, and primary care) in building unified, gene-informed care plans that coordinate imaging, electrophysiologic studies, pulmonary function testing, biomarker monitoring, and timing of interventions across the patient’s lifespan. Provide a durable framework for adapting management as guidelines, therapies, and variant classifications evolve, and for managing complex hereditary cardiopulmonary syndromes within affected families through coordinated pediatric-to-adult transition and ongoing cascade testing.

Integrated Testing Approach

This Cardiopulmonary Disease Panel is best used as part of a multi-dimensional diagnostic strategy, often in combination with:

Pharmacogenetics Testing (for drug metabolism and gene-drug interactions)

Together, these tools enable precision medicine teams to offer a fully customized, data-driven treatment plan for each patient.

Conclusion

Germline testing for inherited cardiopulmonary disease is now a critical component of precision care, allowing clinicians to define the molecular basis of congenital heart disease, cardiomyopathies, primary electrical disorders, heritable aortopathy and vascular syndromes, pulmonary arterial hypertension, primary ciliary dyskinesia, and monogenic interstitial and surfactant-related lung disease with far greater resolution than clinical, imaging, and physiologic assessment alone. With a rigorously curated gene panel, high analytic performance, and clinically validated interpretation, PreCheck Health Services provides the genomic insights necessary to refine diagnosis, stratify sudden death and heart failure risk, guide device and surgical decisions, optimize pharmacologic and lifestyle management, and support cascade testing and reproductive counseling. This integrated approach enables earlier, more precise, and more preventive management across the full spectrum of hereditary and familial cardiopulmonary conditions, improving outcomes for affected patients and at-risk relatives.

Test Methodology

The Cardiopulmonary Disease gene panel is designed to detect single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) and small insertions and deletions in 232 genes associated with cardiac and pulmonary disorders. Targeted regions for this panel include the coding exons and 10 bp intronic sequences immediately to the exon-intron boundary of each coding exon in each of these genes. Extracted patient DNA is prepared using targeted hybrid capture, assignment of a unique index, and sequencing via Illumina sequencing by synthesis (SBS) technology. Data is aligned using the human genome build GRCh38. Variant interpretation is performed according to current American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) professional guidelines for the interpretation of germline sequence variants using SeqOne Pipeline.

Test Limitations

This test aims to detect all clinically relevant variants within the coding regions of the genes evaluated. Pathogenic and likely pathogenic variants detected in these genes should be confirmed by orthogonal methods. Detected genetic variants classified as benign, likely benign, or of uncertain significance are not included in this report. Homopolymer regions and regions outside of the coding regions cannot be captured by the standard NGS target enrichment protocols. Currently, the assay does not detect large deletions and duplications. This analysis also cannot detect pathogenic variants within regions that were not analyzed (e.g., introns, promoter and enhancer regions, long repeat regions, and mitochondrial sequence). This assay is not designed to detect mosaicism and is not designed to detect complex gene rearrangements or genomic aneuploidy events. It is important to understand that there may be variants in these genes undetectable using current technology. Additionally, there may be genes associated with cardiopulmonary pathology whose clinical association has not yet been definitively established. The test may therefore not detect all variants associated with cardiopulmonary pathology. The interpretation of variants is based on our current understanding of the genes in this panel and is based on current ACMG professional guidelines for the interpretation of germline sequence variants. Interpretations may change over time as more information about the genes in this panel becomes available. Qualified health care providers should be aware that future reclassifications of genetic variants can occur as ACMG guidelines are updated. Factors influencing the quantity and quality of extracted DNA include, but are not limited to, collection technique, the amount of buccal epithelial cells obtained, the patient’s oral hygiene, and the presence of dietary or microbial sources of nucleic acids and nucleases, as well as other interfering substances and matrix-dependent influences. PCR inhibitors, extraneous DNA, and nucleic acid-degrading enzymes may adversely affect assay results.
