CHST14 Gene Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Musculocontractural Type 1 NGS Genetic DNA Test
Introduction
The CHST14 Gene Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Musculocontractural Type 1 NGS Genetic DNA Test is a cutting-edge diagnostic tool designed to identify mutations in the CHST14 gene, which are responsible for a rare genetic condition known as Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), musculocontractural type 1. This test employs Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, allowing for precise and comprehensive genetic analysis.
What the Test Measures
This test specifically detects mutations in the CHST14 gene, which plays a crucial role in the synthesis of proteoglycans that are vital for connective tissue integrity. By identifying these mutations, healthcare providers can better understand the genetic basis of the patient’s symptoms.
Who Should Consider This Test
Individuals exhibiting symptoms of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, such as hyperelastic skin, joint hypermobility, and musculoskeletal complications, should consider this test. Additionally, those with a family history of EDS or related connective tissue disorders are advised to undergo testing to assess their genetic risk.
Benefits of Taking the Test
- Accurate diagnosis of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, musculocontractural type 1.
- Informed family planning for individuals with a genetic predisposition.
- Guidance for appropriate management and treatment options.
- Access to genetic counseling to understand the implications of test results.
Understanding Your Results
Results from the CHST14 Gene Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Musculocontractural Type 1 NGS Genetic DNA Test will be interpreted by qualified genetic counselors and healthcare professionals. They will provide insights into the significance of any detected mutations and the implications for the patient’s health and family.

Turnaround time for results is approximately 3 to 4 weeks. The test requires a sample of blood, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card. Prior to testing, a clinical history of the patient is essential, along with a genetic counseling session to create a pedigree chart of affected family members.
