Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is a devastating event that occurs unexpectedly, often without any prior symptoms. Postmortem genetic testing may be used in conjunction with a traditional autopsy to assist with establishing cause and manner of death. However, the lack of routine collection of blood for genetic studies often hampers the ability to perform genetic analyses postmortem. Mayo Clinic Laboratories has a novel clinically validated assay for sequencing of DNA from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue (FFPE) samples that are consistently collected at autopsy. In this webinar, we discuss the feasibility and importance of genetic testing in sudden cardiac death.
