GATA4 Gene Atrial Septal Defect Type 2 Genetic Test
Introduction
The GATA4 gene is a transcription factor involved in the development of the heart. Mutations in this gene have been associated with various heart defects, including atrial septal defect type 2 (ASD2). Atrial septal defect is a congenital heart defect characterized by a hole in the wall (septum) between the two upper chambers of the heart (atria). ASD type 2 specifically refers to a defect in the area known as the fossa ovalis.
About the Test
The GATA4 Gene Atrial Septal Defect Type 2 Genetic Test is a genetic test offered by DNA Labs UAE. It is a Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology-based test that allows for the analysis of the GATA4 gene to identify any genetic variations or mutations that may be contributing to the development of atrial septal defect type 2.

Test Details |
The GATA4 gene is a gene that encodes a transcription factor involved in the development of the heart. Mutations in this gene have been associated with various heart defects, including atrial septal defect type 2 (ASD2). Atrial septal defect is a congenital heart defect characterized by a hole in the wall (septum) between the two upper chambers of the heart (atria). ASD type 2 specifically refers to a defect in the area known as the fossa ovalis. NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a high-throughput sequencing method that allows for the analysis of multiple genes simultaneously. It is used to identify genetic variations, including mutations, in specific genes associated with certain diseases or conditions. Therefore, a GATA4 gene NGS genetic test would involve sequencing the GATA4 gene to identify any genetic variations or mutations that may be contributing to the development of atrial septal defect type 2. This information can be useful for diagnosis, genetic counseling, and potentially guiding treatment options. |
