WDR62 Gene Microcephaly with Cortical Malformations Autosomal Recessive Type 2 NGS Genetic DNA Test
Introduction
The WDR62 Gene Microcephaly with Cortical Malformations Autosomal Recessive Type 2 NGS Genetic DNA Test is a pivotal diagnostic tool designed to identify genetic mutations associated with microcephaly and related cortical malformations. This test employs Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, providing a comprehensive analysis of the WDR62 gene, which plays a significant role in brain development.
What the Test Measures
This genetic test specifically measures mutations in the WDR62 gene. These mutations are linked to various forms of microcephaly, a condition characterized by an abnormally small head size, which can lead to developmental delays and other neurological issues.
Who Should Consider This Test?
Individuals who should consider the WDR62 Gene test include:
- Children diagnosed with microcephaly or related developmental disorders.
- Families with a history of congenital brain malformations.
- Parents who have had multiple pregnancies affected by microcephaly.
- Individuals exhibiting symptoms such as developmental delays, seizures, or other neurological abnormalities.
Benefits of Taking the Test
Taking the WDR62 Gene Microcephaly test offers numerous benefits:
- Early diagnosis of genetic conditions, allowing for timely interventions.
- Informed family planning and genetic counseling for affected families.
- Access to targeted therapies and support resources.
- Peace of mind through understanding genetic risks.
Understanding Your Results
Results from the WDR62 Gene test will provide insights into whether mutations are present. A genetic counselor will help interpret these results, discussing potential implications for the individual and family, including the likelihood of recurrence in future pregnancies.

Additional Information
Turnaround time for results is approximately 3 to 4 weeks. The sample type required can be blood, extracted DNA, or even a single drop of blood on an FTA card. Prior to the test, a clinical history review and a genetic counseling session to create a pedigree chart of affected family members is recommended.
