ANKRD11 Gene KBG Syndrome NGS Genetic DNA Test
Introduction
The ANKRD11 Gene KBG Syndrome NGS Genetic DNA Test is a specialized genetic test designed to identify mutations in the ANKRD11 gene, which are responsible for KBG syndrome. This condition is characterized by a combination of developmental delays, intellectual disabilities, and distinctive facial features. Understanding the genetic basis of this syndrome is crucial for effective management and family planning.
What the Test Measures
This test utilizes Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to detect specific alterations in the ANKRD11 gene. By analyzing the genetic material, healthcare providers can determine if a patient has inherited or acquired mutations that may contribute to KBG syndrome.
Who Should Consider This Test?
Individuals displaying symptoms of KBG syndrome, such as:
- Developmental delays
- Intellectual disabilities
- Distinctive facial features
- Other dysmorphological characteristics
Families with a history of KBG syndrome or related genetic disorders should also consider this test for better understanding and management of potential health issues.
Benefits of Taking the Test
- Provides a definitive diagnosis of KBG syndrome.
- Guides management and treatment options for affected individuals.
- Offers insights for family planning and genetic counseling.
- Helps in understanding the inheritance pattern of the disorder.
Understanding Your Results
Results from the ANKRD11 Gene KBG Syndrome NGS Genetic DNA Test will be interpreted by a qualified geneticist. A positive result indicates the presence of a mutation in the ANKRD11 gene, confirming the diagnosis of KBG syndrome. A negative result suggests that no mutations were detected, but does not entirely rule out the syndrome.

Additional Information
The turnaround time for results is approximately 3 to 4 weeks. The sample type required for this test can be blood or extracted DNA, or even a single drop of blood on an FTA card. Prior to testing, a clinical history of the patient is necessary, and a genetic counseling session is recommended to create a pedigree chart of family members affected by KBG syndrome.
