WNT10B Gene Split-Hand/Foot Malformation Type 6 NGS Genetic DNA Test
Introduction
The WNT10B Gene Split-Hand/Foot Malformation Type 6 NGS Genetic DNA Test is a specialized diagnostic tool aimed at identifying genetic mutations associated with split-hand/foot malformations. This test employs Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to provide precise insights into the genetic underpinnings of limb dysmorphology, enabling better clinical management and family planning.
What the Test Measures
This genetic test specifically detects mutations in the WNT10B gene, which plays a critical role in limb development. By analyzing this gene, healthcare providers can ascertain the likelihood of split-hand/foot malformations in individuals, thereby facilitating early intervention and management strategies.
Who Should Consider This Test
Individuals with a family history of split-hand/foot malformations or those exhibiting symptoms related to limb dysmorphology should consider this test. Risk factors include:
- Family members affected by limb malformations
- Presence of congenital limb defects
- Clinical history suggesting genetic predisposition
