Connective Tissue Report
Connective tissue disease here refers to that group of disorders involving the protein-rich tissue that supports organs and other parts of the body, and affecting the parts of the body that connect bodily structures to each other.
Connective tissue disorders are a large group of diseases, both clinically and genetically heterogeneous. The underlying mutations concern elements of the extracellular matrix, such as elastin, collagen and muco-polysaccharides. Since connective tissue is ubiquitous in the body, its alterations cause consequences in numerous areas such as skin, joints, bones, blood vessels and lungs. The function of these proteins, in fact, consists in conferring resistance and elasticity, as well as mechanical support to anatomical structures.
This panel is intended for individuals who have signs and symptoms of a connective tissue disorder or who have a family history of connective tissue disorders.

FAQs
How will my data be used?
Your data is yours. Which is why we have developed proprietary software linked to a dedicated platform, the Genome Manager, to provide you with unique access to your data whenever you want, wherever you are.
How can my doctor use the results?
You will be provided with a digital version of the raw data and reports. Thanks to these in-depth tools, you will be able to share your preferred information with your geneticist and/or doctor to indicate and plan the healthiest course for you.
How will I receive my reports?
The first thing to do when you receive your kit is to register it on your Genome Manager account. Dante's proprietary platform will keep you up-to-date on all stages of your genetic journey, providing you with the real-time status of your sample and where you can download your free report and raw data* at any time.
*Raw data will be available free of charge for the first 30 days after release.
How can I add other reports to my account?
At any time, you can log into your Genome Manager account and visit the Shop section. Here you will find a catalog with more than 150 additional reports dedicated to all areas of health. In addition, by subscribing to our newsletter you can always see new reports and panel updates.
