Ambry Genetics’ HTG-Select panel is a 6-gene test aimed at identifying the underlying genetic cause of hypertriglyceridemia in eligible patients. This includes disorders such as Familial Chylomicronemia Syndrome or other clinically associated conditions. Genes included are associated with one or more key clinical symptoms, including: severely high triglyceride levels, acute bouts of pancreatitis, severe abdominal pain, skin xanthomas, memory loss, and milky appearance of the blood/veins.
Establishing an underlying molecular cause is a critical step in providing accurate diagnosis, prognosis, genetic counseling, and disease management.
