FGF23 Gene Hypophosphatemic Rickets Autosomal Dominant NGS Genetic DNA Test
Introduction
The FGF23 Gene Hypophosphatemic Rickets Autosomal Dominant NGS Genetic DNA Test is a specialized diagnostic tool that plays a crucial role in identifying genetic mutations associated with hypophosphatemic rickets. This condition is characterized by impaired phosphate metabolism, leading to bone deformities and growth issues in children. Understanding the genetic basis of this disorder is essential for effective management and treatment.
What the Test Measures
This genetic test specifically detects mutations in the FGF23 gene, which is responsible for regulating phosphate levels in the body. By utilizing Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, the test provides a comprehensive analysis of the gene, allowing for precise identification of any abnormalities.
Who Should Consider This Test
Individuals who exhibit symptoms such as bone pain, deformities, or growth retardation should consider this test, particularly if there is a family history of hypophosphatemic rickets. Risk factors include a known family history of genetic disorders related to phosphate metabolism.
Benefits of Taking the Test
- Accurate diagnosis of genetic conditions related to phosphate metabolism.
- Informed decision-making regarding treatment options.
- Identification of at-risk family members through genetic counseling.
- Peace of mind for patients and families regarding their genetic health.
Understanding Your Results
Upon receiving your test results, it is important to consult with a genetic counselor or healthcare provider to interpret the findings accurately. They will guide you on the implications of the results and recommend appropriate next steps based on your genetic profile.
Test Name and Price
| Test Name | Discount Price | Regular Price |
|---|---|---|
| FGF23 Gene Hypophosphatemic Rickets Autosomal Dominant NGS Genetic DNA Test | 40,000 KSh | 56,000 KSh |
Additional Information
Turnaround time for the results is approximately 3 to 4 weeks. The sample type required for this test can be blood, extracted DNA, or even one drop of blood on an FTA card. Prior to the test, a clinical history of the patient should be documented, and a genetic counseling session is recommended to create a pedigree chart of family members affected by the FGF23 gene disorder.
