VDR Gene Rickets Vitamin D-Resistant Type 2A NGS Genetic DNA Test
Introduction
The VDR Gene Rickets Vitamin D-Resistant Type 2A NGS Genetic DNA Test is a cutting-edge diagnostic tool that utilizes Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to analyze genetic variations associated with vitamin D metabolism. This test is particularly important for individuals who may be predisposed to vitamin D-resistant rickets, a condition that can lead to severe bone deformities and other health complications.
What the Test Measures
This test specifically detects mutations in the VDR gene that are known to impair the body’s ability to utilize vitamin D effectively. By identifying these mutations, healthcare providers can better understand the underlying causes of bone disorders in patients.
Who Should Consider This Test
Individuals who should consider the VDR Gene Rickets Vitamin D-Resistant Type 2A NGS Genetic DNA Test include:
- Patients exhibiting symptoms of rickets, such as bone pain, deformities, or delayed growth.
- Individuals with a family history of vitamin D-resistant rickets or related bone disorders.
- Patients with unexplained fractures or bone weakness despite adequate vitamin D intake.
Benefits of Taking the Test
Taking the VDR Gene Rickets Vitamin D-Resistant Type 2A NGS Genetic DNA Test offers several benefits:
- Early identification of genetic predispositions to bone disorders.
- Informed decision-making regarding treatment options and lifestyle changes.
- Enhanced understanding of the patient’s condition, leading to personalized care.
Understanding Your Results
Results from the VDR Gene Rickets Vitamin D-Resistant Type 2A NGS Genetic DNA Test will indicate whether any mutations were detected in the VDR gene. A genetic counseling session is recommended to help interpret the results and discuss potential implications for the patient and their family.

Additional Information
Turnaround time for results is approximately 3 to 4 weeks. The test requires a sample type of blood, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card. Prior to the test, a clinical history of the patient is needed, along with a genetic counseling session to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with VDR Gene Rickets.
