Genetic testing forTTNvariants can help identify individuals at risk for developing cardiomyopathies, allowing for early intervention and personalized treatment strategies. Furthermore, identifyingTTNvariants can inform prognosis and guide therapeutic decisions. Deciphering the intricate genotype–phenotype ...
The Patient-Doctor-Lab Model (Fig. 3.2) demon- strates that clinicians can order some tests directly from a genetic testing laboratory without routing through genetic services, e.g., the hemochromatosis gene test for hemochro- matosis diagnosis. However, the doctor's note does not keep a ...
