FGF23 Gene Hypophosphatemic Rickets Autosomal Dominant Genetic Test

Test Details:

FGF23 gene hypophosphatemic rickets, autosomal dominant is a rare genetic disorder characterized by low levels of phosphate in the blood, leading to soft and weak bones (rickets). This condition is caused by mutations in the FGF23 gene, which provides instructions for making a protein called fibroblast growth factor 23.

Autosomal dominant inheritance means that a person only needs to inherit one copy of the mutated gene from one parent to develop the condition. In other words, if one parent has the condition, there is a 50% chance of passing it on to each child.

NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a type of genetic test that can analyze multiple genes simultaneously. In the case of FGF23 gene hypophosphatemic rickets, autosomal dominant, NGS genetic testing can identify mutations in the FGF23 gene, confirming the diagnosis of the condition.

NGS genetic testing involves obtaining a DNA sample, typically through a blood sample or saliva sample. The DNA is then sequenced using advanced technology, allowing for the detection of mutations in the FGF23 gene. This information can help healthcare professionals provide appropriate management and treatment options for individuals with this condition.
