GLI3 Gene Greig Cephalopolysyndactyly Syndrome NGS Genetic DNA Test
Introduction
The GLI3 Gene Greig Cephalopolysyndactyly Syndrome NGS Genetic DNA Test is a pioneering diagnostic tool that utilizes Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to detect genetic mutations within the GLI3 gene. This test is particularly significant for individuals with symptoms of Greig cephalopolysyndactyly syndrome, a condition characterized by a range of physical malformations, including polydactyly (extra fingers or toes) and craniofacial abnormalities. Understanding the genetic basis of this syndrome is essential for effective management and counseling of affected families.
