Oct 10, 2009: GENDIA now offers a next-generation sequencing  platform for the molecular diagnosis of  Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy (ARVC) with complete sequencing of the following 7 genes:

• Ryanodine receptor 2 (RYR2) for ARVC2
• Transmembrane protein 43 (TMEM43) for ARVC5
• Desmoplakin (DSP) for ARVC8
• Plakophilin-2 (PKP2) for ARVC9
• Desmoglein-2 (DSG2) for ARVC10
• Desmocollin-2 (DSC2) for ARVC11
• Junction plakoglobin (JUP) for ARVC12

The price for the analysis of the 7 genes in a single sample is 2800 Euro.
Once a disease-causing mutation is identified, family members can be screened for that mutation at 250 Euro.
The turnaround time of the test is 3 months.
