ALX3 Gene Frontonasal Dysplasia Type 1 Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the ALX3 Gene Frontonasal Dysplasia Type 1 Genetic Test. This test helps in diagnosing and understanding Frontonasal Dysplasia Type 1 (FND1), a rare genetic disorder characterized by abnormalities of the head and face.
Test Details
The ALX3 gene is associated with FND1. This condition is characterized by abnormalities such as a wide or bifid nasal tip, cleft lip and/or palate, hypertelorism (increased distance between the eyes), and malformations of the forehead and skull.
Our ALX3 Gene Frontonasal Dysplasia Type 1 Genetic Test uses NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology. This allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes, including the ALX3 gene. By analyzing this gene, we can determine if there are any mutations or variants present that may be responsible for the condition.
Test Components and Price
The cost of the ALX3 Gene Frontonasal Dysplasia Type 1 Genetic Test is 4400.0 AED.
Sample Condition
We accept blood samples, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card.
Report Delivery
The test results will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks.
Test Type
The ALX3 Gene Frontonasal Dysplasia Type 1 Genetic Test falls under the category of Dysmorphology.
Doctor and Test Department
This test is conducted by our qualified Pediatrics doctor and is performed in our Genetics department.
Pre Test Information
Prior to the test, we require the clinical history of the patient who is going for the ALX3 Gene Frontonasal Dysplasia Type 1 NGS Genetic DNA Test. Additionally, a Genetic Counselling session will be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by the ALX3 gene.
Importance of Genetic Testing
NGS genetic testing can help confirm a diagnosis of FND1 in individuals with suspected symptoms. It can also identify carriers of the condition within a family and provide information about the specific genetic variant involved. This information can be useful for genetic counseling and family planning.
It’s important to note that genetic testing for FND1 should be performed by a qualified healthcare professional or genetic counselor. They can interpret the results and provide appropriate guidance and support.
