TP63 Gene Ankyloblepharon-Ectodermal Defects Cleft Lip/Palate NGS Genetic DNA Test
Introduction to the TP63 Gene Test
The TP63 Gene Ankyloblepharon-Ectodermal Defects Cleft Lip/Palate NGS Genetic DNA Test is a specialized genetic test designed to identify mutations in the TP63 gene. This gene plays a critical role in the development of various congenital conditions, including ectodermal dysplasia, cleft lip, and palate. Understanding these genetic factors is vital for early diagnosis and management of related health issues.
What the Test Measures
This test utilizes Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to detect genetic abnormalities in the TP63 gene. By analyzing the DNA, the test can reveal mutations that may lead to the aforementioned conditions, allowing healthcare providers to better understand the genetic background of the patient.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly recommended for individuals with:
- A family history of ankyloblepharon-ectodermal defects or cleft lip/palate
- Symptoms indicating potential genetic disorders
- Parents planning for children with a known genetic predisposition
Benefits of Taking the Test
- Early identification of genetic conditions
- Informed decision-making for family planning
- Personalized medical management and interventions
- Access to genetic counseling and support
Understanding Your Results
Results from the TP63 Gene test can provide valuable insights into the genetic risks associated with dysmorphology. It is essential to discuss these results with a healthcare professional, who can guide you through the implications and potential next steps based on your unique situation.

| Test Name | Discount Price | Regular Price |
|---|---|---|
| TP63 Gene Ankyloblepharon-Ectodermal Defects Cleft Lip/Palate NGS Genetic DNA Test | 40,000 KSh | 56,000 KSh |
Additional Information
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 and a genetic counseling session are recommended to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by conditions related to the TP63 gene.
