GATA6 Gene Pancreatic Agenesis and Congenital Heart Defects NGS Genetic DNA Test
Introduction to the Test
The GATA6 Gene Pancreatic Agenesis and Congenital Heart Defects NGS Genetic DNA Test is a specialized genetic test that plays a crucial role in identifying mutations in the GATA6 gene, which are linked to pancreatic agenesis and congenital heart defects. Understanding these genetic factors is essential for early diagnosis and intervention, particularly for families with a history of these conditions.
What the Test Measures
This test utilizes Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to analyze the GATA6 gene. It detects specific mutations that may cause pancreatic agenesis, a condition where the pancreas fails to develop properly, and congenital heart defects, which can lead to significant health complications if not addressed early.
Who Should Consider This Test
Individuals who should consider the GATA6 Gene test include:
- Those with a family history of pancreatic agenesis or congenital heart defects.
- Patients presenting symptoms related to pancreatic function or congenital heart issues.
- Individuals seeking genetic counseling for family planning purposes.
