FGFR3 Gene Achondroplasia NGS Genetic DNA Test
Introduction
The FGFR3 Gene Achondroplasia NGS Genetic DNA Test is an advanced diagnostic tool that plays a pivotal role in identifying genetic mutations associated with Achondroplasia, a common form of skeletal dysplasia. This test utilizes Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to provide a comprehensive analysis of the FGFR3 gene, which is crucial for bone growth and development.
What the Test Measures
This test specifically detects mutations in the FGFR3 gene that can lead to Achondroplasia. By analyzing the genetic material, healthcare providers can determine the likelihood of the condition being passed on to future generations.
Who Should Consider This Test
Individuals with a family history of Achondroplasia or those experiencing symptoms such as disproportionate short stature and characteristic facial features should consider this test. It is particularly relevant for:
- Parents with a child diagnosed with Achondroplasia.
- Individuals with relatives affected by the condition.
- Couples planning a family who wish to understand their genetic risks.
Benefits of Taking the Test
- Provides clarity on genetic risks associated with Achondroplasia.
- Informs family planning decisions.
- Guides potential treatment options and management strategies.
- Facilitates early diagnosis and intervention if necessary.
Understanding Your Results

Additional Information
Turnaround time for results is approximately 3 to 4 weeks. The sample type required for this test can be blood, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card. Prior to testing, a genetic counseling session is recommended to gather a clinical history and draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by Achondroplasia.
