PORCN Gene Focal Dermal Hypoplasia Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the PORCN Gene Focal Dermal Hypoplasia Genetic Test at a cost of AED 4400.0. This test is used to diagnose focal dermal hypoplasia (FDH), also known as Goltz syndrome, which is a rare genetic disorder.
Test Details
The PORCN gene is responsible for producing a protein that plays a crucial role in embryonic development and tissue formation. Mutations in this gene can lead to FDH, which is characterized by abnormalities in the skin, skeletal system, eyes, and other organs.
Individuals with FDH may exhibit skin abnormalities such as atrophic or thin skin, hypo- or hyperpigmentation, and the presence of soft, fatty nodules. Skeletal abnormalities can include malformations of the fingers, toes, limbs, and spine. Other features may include dental anomalies, eye abnormalities, and developmental delays.
The PORCN Gene Focal Dermal Hypoplasia Genetic Test utilizes Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to analyze multiple genes simultaneously. This allows for a comprehensive analysis of the PORCN gene, enabling a more accurate diagnosis of FDH.
Pre Test Information
Before undergoing the PORCN Gene Focal Dermal Hypoplasia Genetic Test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient. Additionally, a genetic counseling session may be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by FDH and the gene PORCN.

The PORCN gene is responsible for producing a protein that plays a crucial role in embryonic development and tissue formation. Mutations in this gene can lead to a rare genetic disorder called focal dermal hypoplasia (FDH), also known as Goltz syndrome. FDH is characterized by abnormalities in the skin, skeletal system, eyes, and other organs. Individuals with FDH may have skin abnormalities such as atrophic or thin skin, hypo- or hyperpigmentation, and the presence of soft, fatty nodules. Skeletal abnormalities can include malformations of the fingers, toes, limbs, and spine. Other features may include dental anomalies, eye abnormalities, and developmental delays. NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a type of genetic test that allows for the analysis of multiple genes simultaneously. It is commonly used to identify mutations or variations in genes associated with various genetic disorders, including FDH. NGS can provide a comprehensive analysis of the PORCN gene, allowing for a more accurate diagnosis of FDH. Genetic testing for FDH can be beneficial for individuals suspected of having the condition, as it can confirm the diagnosis, provide information about the specific genetic mutation involved, and help with family planning and genetic counseling. It can also aid in the management and treatment of the disorder. It is important to note that genetic testing should be done under the guidance of a healthcare professional or genetic counselor, who can provide appropriate counseling and support throughout the testing process. |
