FLVCR2 Gene Hydranencephaly Fowler Type NGS Genetic DNA Test
The FLVCR2 Gene Hydranencephaly Fowler Type NGS Genetic DNA Test is a specialized genetic test that plays a pivotal role in diagnosing hydranencephaly, a severe brain malformation. This test utilizes Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to analyze the FLVCR2 gene, which is associated with this condition, providing essential information for affected families and healthcare providers.
What the Test Measures
This test detects mutations in the FLVCR2 gene that may lead to hydranencephaly. By identifying these genetic variations, healthcare professionals can better understand the risk of this condition in the patient and their family.
Who Should Consider This Test?
Families with a history of hydranencephaly or related dysmorphological conditions should consider this test. Symptoms may include:
- Abnormal brain development in infants
- Severe developmental delays
- Physical abnormalities
Risk factors include a family history of genetic disorders or previous occurrences of hydranencephaly.
Benefits of Taking the Test
- Provides clarity for families regarding genetic risks.
- Guides healthcare decisions and planning for affected pregnancies.
- Facilitates informed discussions with genetic counselors.
Understanding Your Results
Results from the FLVCR2 Gene Hydranencephaly Fowler Type NGS Genetic DNA Test can help determine the likelihood of having a child with hydranencephaly. A genetic counseling session is recommended to interpret the results and discuss potential next steps.
