Aortic, Vascular, and Connective Tissue Disorders Panel [64 genes]: this panel is indicated in the presence of aortic vascular diseases, aneurysms, or dissections without a clear cause, especially when they show familial segregation or when any of the above-mentioned syndromes is suspected.
It includes all genes associated with these pathologies, gathered from a systematic literature review.

Cardiovascular diseases global panel [405 genes]: this panel includes all genes associated or potentially associated with the development of inherited cardiovascular diseases as well as genes associated with increased global/general cardiovascular risk.
It covers a group of heterogeneous diseases, and genetic testing allows for the differential diagnosis between them. It is also useful when a multigenic etiology is suspected.
It should be considered when an exhaustive study of all genes related to cardiovascular pathologies is intended, especially in cases of sudden death where clinical or pathological information is incomplete or the diagnosis is unclear.
As for research, it is an attractive alternative to the exomes because it includes both genes with proven pathogenicity and candidate genes. The study ensures maximum yield with adequate coverages (which allows for assessing structural variants, such as large deletions and duplications).

- Subjects under suspicion or clinical diagnosis of familial thoracic aortic aneurysms and dissections, whether in their syndromic (i.e. associated with a set of clinical characteristics including vascular involvement, as is the case of Marfan syndrome) or non-syndromic forms (when vascular involvement occurs in isolation).
- Familial study: A search for the mutation previously identified in a proband (relatives of patients with syndromic or non-syndromic familial thoracic aortic aneurysms in which a mutation has been previously identified).
Shprintzen-Goldberg syndrome: the genetic testing can identify a pathogenic mutation in the SKI gene (in clinically diagnosed cases).

The probability of identifying a variant associated with familial thoracic aortic aneurysms and dissections depends on how distinct the clinical manifestations of the disease are and on the suspected syndrome. It can range from over 90%-95% in cases with Marfan or Ehlers-Danlos syndromes with well-established diagnostic criteria, to lower values for other etiologies such as familial thoracic aortic aneurysms and dissections.
