GATA6 Gene Tetralogy of Fallot Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the GATA6 Gene Tetralogy of Fallot Genetic Test, a comprehensive genetic test that helps diagnose Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) and identify individuals who may be at risk of developing this congenital heart defect.

- Sample Condition: Blood or Extracted DNA or One drop Blood on FTA Card
- Report Delivery: 3 to 4 Weeks
- Method: NGS Technology
- Test Type: Cardiovascular Pneumology Disorders
- Doctor: Cardiologist
- Test Department: Genetics
Pre Test Information
Prior to undergoing the GATA6 Gene Tetralogy of Fallot Genetic Test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient. Additionally, a genetic counseling session will be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by the GATA6 gene and Tetralogy of Fallot.
Test Details
The GATA6 gene is a transcription factor involved in the development of various organs, including the heart. Mutations in this gene have been linked to Tetralogy of Fallot, a complex heart defect characterized by four specific abnormalities: ventricular septal defect, pulmonary valve narrowing, overriding aorta, and right ventricular hypertrophy.
Our NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology allows for the rapid and cost-effective sequencing of the GATA6 gene. By identifying potential mutations or variants, this genetic test aids in the diagnosis of TOF and helps identify individuals at risk of developing the condition.
Furthermore, the test results are crucial for genetic counseling and family planning, as TOF can have a genetic component and be inherited in some cases. It is important to note that genetic testing for TOF and the GATA6 gene is typically performed in specialized laboratories and is recommended for individuals with a suspected or confirmed diagnosis of TOF, as well as their family members.
After receiving the test results, it is essential to consult with a healthcare professional or genetic counselor who can provide further guidance and support.

| Test Details |
The GATA6 gene is a gene that encodes a transcription factor involved in the development of various organs, including the heart. Mutations in this gene have been associated with a congenital heart defect called Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). Tetralogy of Fallot is a complex heart defect characterized by four specific abnormalities: a ventricular septal defect (hole between the two lower chambers of the heart), narrowing of the pulmonary valve (which controls blood flow from the heart to the lungs), an overriding aorta (where the aorta is positioned over the ventricular septal defect), and right ventricular hypertrophy (thickening of the right ventricle). NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) is a genetic testing method that allows for the rapid and cost-effective sequencing of large portions of the genome. In the context of Tetralogy of Fallot and the GATA6 gene, an NGS genetic test would involve sequencing the GATA6 gene to identify any potential mutations or variants that may be associated with the development of TOF. This genetic test can help in diagnosing TOF and identifying individuals who may be at risk of developing the condition. It can also provide important information for genetic counseling and family planning, as TOF can have a genetic component and be inherited in some cases. It’s important to note that genetic testing for TOF and the GATA6 gene is typically performed in specialized laboratories and is usually recommended for individuals with a suspected or confirmed diagnosis of TOF, as well as their family members. The test results should be interpreted and discussed with a healthcare professional or genetic counselor who can provide further guidance and support. |
