FANCC Gene Fanconi Anemia Type C NGS Genetic DNA Test
Introduction
The FANCC Gene Fanconi Anemia Type C NGS Genetic DNA Test is a specialized genetic test designed to identify mutations in the FANCC gene, which are associated with Fanconi anemia type C, a rare genetic disorder that affects the body’s ability to repair DNA. This test is essential for individuals with a family history of the disorder or those exhibiting symptoms related to metabolic disorders.
What the Test Measures
This test utilizes Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to analyze the FANCC gene for specific mutations. By detecting these genetic variations, healthcare providers can assess the risk of developing Fanconi anemia type C and guide further clinical management.
