HSD17B3 Gene Pseudohermaphroditism with Gynecomastia NGS Genetic DNA Test
Introduction
The HSD17B3 Gene Pseudohermaphroditism with Gynecomastia NGS Genetic DNA Test is a cutting-edge diagnostic tool designed to identify genetic mutations associated with pseudohermaphroditism and gynecomastia. This test employs Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, allowing for a comprehensive analysis of the HSD17B3 gene. Understanding these genetic factors is crucial for patients experiencing sexual development disorders.
What the Test Measures
This test detects mutations in the HSD17B3 gene, which plays a significant role in the conversion of androstenedione to testosterone. Abnormalities in this gene can lead to disorders of sexual development, including pseudohermaphroditism and gynecomastia. By identifying these mutations, healthcare providers can make informed decisions regarding treatment and management.
