Hoxd13 Gene Syndactyly Type 5 NGS Genetic DNA Test
Introduction to the Test
The Hoxd13 Gene Syndactyly Type 5 NGS Genetic DNA Test is a specialized genetic test that examines the HOXD13 gene for mutations that can lead to syndactyly, a condition where fingers or toes are fused together. This test employs Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, offering a precise and comprehensive analysis of genetic material. Understanding your genetic predisposition is crucial for early diagnosis and intervention.
What the Test Measures
This test specifically detects mutations in the HOXD13 gene, which are responsible for syndactyly type 5. By identifying these mutations, healthcare providers can better understand the genetic basis of the condition in affected individuals.
