HOGA1 Gene Hyperoxaluria Type 3 NGS Genetic DNA Test
Introduction
The HOGA1 Gene Hyperoxaluria Type 3 NGS Genetic DNA Test is a specialized genetic test aimed at diagnosing hyperoxaluria type 3, a rare metabolic disorder. This condition is characterized by an excess of oxalate in the urine, which can lead to the formation of kidney stones and other serious health issues. Understanding the genetic basis of this disorder is crucial for effective management and treatment.
What the Test Measures
