Heart Panel
For Cardiomyopathies and Channelopathies
BpG Heart Panel is a comprehensive diagnostic test covering genetics of both hereditary
cardiomyopathies and channelopathies.
Differential diagnostics between ion channel disease and cardiomyopathies can be
occasionally challenging as severe ventricular
arrhythmias can manifest in cardiomyopathy
patients with subclinical or no findings of
cardiomyopathy.
BpG Heart Panel is an efficient diagnostics
tool e.g. in following cases:
▪▪ Aborted cardiac death with no hint of specific
cause
▪▪ Patient’s phenotype and family history show
features of both cardiomyopathies and channelopathies
Covered phenotypes:

Noonan Syndrome Panel
For Noonan or Noonan-like Syndromes
BpG Noonan Syndrome Panel is an efficient
and rapid diagnostic tool for rasopathies,
such as Noonan (NS) or Noonan-like syndromes (NLS). Noonan syndrome is one of
the most common human syndromes with
estimated prevalence of 1 in 1000 to 1 in 2500
live births. It is clinically and genetically heterogeneous condition characterized by cardiovascular abnormalities, distinctive facial
features, chest deformity, short stature, and
other comorbidities. Differential diagnostics
is challenging in rasopathies. Molecular diagnosis forms the basis for disease specific follow-up scheme and enables evidence-based
prognostics.

Arrhythmia Panel
Cardiac Channelopathies and ARVC
BpG Arrhythmia Panel is one of the most
efficient diagnostic tests for severe hereditary arrhythmia disorders. The panel allows
efficient differential diagnostics as it includes
majority of reported ventricular arrhythmia-associated genes. In contrast to most
available arrhythmia tests in the market,
BpG’s test covers also arrhythmogenic right
ventricle cardiomyopathy (ARVC). Clinical
presentation in ARVC may be comparable
to channelopathy and therefore BpG added
ARVC genetics to the Arrhythmia Panel. This
panel is a powerful diagnostic solution whenever other clinical assessments have failed to
reliably narrow the exact diagnosis for severe
arrhythmia episode or syncope.
BpG Arrhythmia Panel covers the following
phenotypes:
▪▪
▪▪
▪▪
▪▪
Long QT syndromes (LQTS)
Short QT syndromes (SQTS)
Brugada syndrome (BrS)
Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricle

EDMD Panel
For Emery-Dreifuss Muscular Dystrophy
BpG offers the most comprehensive EDMD
genetic test on the market covering all known
genetics behind EDMD. Mutations in seven genes are involved in the pathogenesis
of EDMD. In February 2014, TTN gene was
linked to EDMD phenotype (Chauveau et al.

Nephrotic Syndrome Panel
For Steroid-resistant Nephrotic Syndrome
BpG Nephrotic Syndrome Panel is a powerful
genetic diagnostic tool for patients manifesting nephrotic syndrome. The panel is
especially effective for patients with suspicion of steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome
(SRNS). Majority of the patients (80-90%) with
nephrotic syndrome are responsive to steroid
treatment, however the remaining 10-20% are
considered to have SRNS. Identification of
causative mutations can also be used in the
prediction of increased risk of post-transplant

GM1 gangliosidosis is a neurological and metabolic disorder that is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. As GM1 gangliosidosis
progresses, it destroys neurons at central and
peripheral nervous system. Three major types
have been characterized based on the age of
onset: infantile, juvenile and late-onset.
GM1 gangliosidosis is caused by mutations in
gene GLB1.

Becker and Duchenne Muscular
Dystrophy Test
The Becker and Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy are related conditions caused by different
mutations in the same defective gene, namely
dystrophin (DMD).
More than 2800 DMD mutations have been described in literature. Approximately half of DMD
mutations are due to complex rearrangements,
duplications, large deletions and copy number
variations, which are not within the reach of current sequencing technology. Thus above-mentioned mutations are recommended to be tested
before running the BpG’s test. Our test covers all
other known mutations including insertions and
deletions up to 50 bp.

Additional Services
Family Member Testing (FMT)
BpG provides efficient testing for family members of patients with previous genetic findings.
Family member tests can be performed either to
1) identify mutation carriers or to 2) assess the
pathogenicity of a novel variant.
Custom sequencing for research
applications
In addition to clinical diagnostics panels,
BpG provides customized sequencing projects
and co-develops customized sequencing platforms for clients.
We provide family members with either 1-3
mutations Sanger tests or a comprehensive NGS
test, which is the same panel used for index
patients.
Typical collaborators for custom sequencing
projects are research groups that have a need to
sequence small to large number of samples for
specific research questions.
