Test Overview & Methodology
This genetic test sequences the entire IFT80 gene to detect pathogenic mutations responsible for Short-Rib Thoracic Dysplasia Type 2 (SRTD2) with or without polydactyly. SRTD2 is a rare skeletal dysplasia characterized by a narrow thorax, respiratory insufficiency, and postaxial polydactyly. Early molecular diagnosis enables targeted multidisciplinary management and informed genetic counseling for at-risk families.

Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As a Consultant Medical Geneticist, I recognize the profound impact that a diagnosis of skeletal dysplasia can have on a family. The IFT80 gene test provides crucial information for accurate diagnosis, prognosis, and reproductive planning. I strongly encourage patients to discuss results with a genetics professional who can interpret findings in the context of clinical presentation and family history.”
