MTRR Gene Spina Bifida Folate Sensitive NGS Genetic DNA Test
Introduction
The MTRR Gene Spina Bifida Folate Sensitive NGS Genetic DNA Test is a cutting-edge genetic test that plays a pivotal role in identifying individuals at risk for spina bifida. Utilizing Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, this test analyzes the MTRR gene, which is essential for folate metabolism and neural tube development. Understanding your genetic predisposition is crucial for informed family planning and early intervention.
What the Test Measures
This test specifically measures variations in the MTRR gene that may affect folate metabolism. Folate is vital for proper neural tube development during pregnancy, and deficiencies can lead to serious conditions such as spina bifida.
