Pre Test Information
Prior to the test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient who is undergoing the COL3A1 Gene Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type 4 NGS Genetic DNA Test. Additionally, a genetic counseling session will be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by the gene COL3A1.
Test Details
The COL3A1 gene is responsible for producing collagen type III alpha 1 chain, a protein found in connective tissues such as skin, blood vessels, and organs. Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type 4 (EDS type 4), also known as vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (vEDS), is a rare genetic disorder that affects the production of collagen type III. This can lead to weakened blood vessels and tissues, increasing the risk of life-threatening complications like organ rupture and arterial dissection.
NGS genetic testing is used to analyze multiple genes simultaneously. In the case of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type 4, NGS can identify mutations or variations in the COL3A1 gene. This test helps confirm a diagnosis of vEDS and provides information about the specific genetic variant causing the condition.
It is important to note that NGS testing for Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type 4 should be performed by a qualified geneticist or genetic counselor. The interpretation of the results can be complex and requires expertise in genetic testing and counseling.

Test Details |
The COL3A1 gene is responsible for providing instructions to produce a protein called collagen type III alpha 1 chain. This protein is a component of connective tissues such as skin, blood vessels, and organs. Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type 4 (EDS type 4), also known as vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (vEDS), is a rare genetic disorder characterized by abnormalities in the production of collagen type III. This can lead to weakened blood vessels and tissues, increasing the risk of life-threatening complications such as organ rupture and arterial dissection. NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a technique used to analyze multiple genes simultaneously. In the case of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type 4, NGS can be used to identify mutations or variations in the COL3A1 gene. This test can help confirm a diagnosis of vEDS and provide information about the specific genetic variant causing the condition. It is important to note that NGS testing for Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type 4 should be performed by a qualified geneticist or genetic counselor, as the interpretation of the results can be complex and requires expertise in genetic testing and counseling. |
