SLC12A2 Gene Bartter Syndrome NGS Genetic DNA Test
Introduction
The SLC12A2 Gene Bartter Syndrome NGS Genetic DNA Test is a specialized genetic test designed to identify mutations in the SLC12A2 gene, which is crucial for kidney function and electrolyte balance. Bartter syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that affects the kidneys’ ability to reabsorb sodium, leading to significant electrolyte imbalances. Understanding your genetic predisposition through this test can provide essential insights into managing and treating this condition effectively.
