Test Details
The GLI2 gene is associated with a genetic condition called Holoprosencephaly-type 9 (HPE9). Holoprosencephaly is a developmental disorder of the brain in which the forebrain fails to divide properly during early embryonic development.
NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) is a genetic testing technique that allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes, including GLI2, to identify potential disease-causing variants. This type of genetic test can help diagnose individuals with suspected HPE9 by detecting mutations or variations in the GLI2 gene.
The GLI2 gene provides instructions for making a protein that plays a crucial role in early brain development. Mutations in this gene can disrupt the normal development of the forebrain, leading to the characteristic features of HPE9, which can include facial abnormalities, intellectual disability, and central nervous system malformations.
By identifying mutations in the GLI2 gene through NGS genetic testing, healthcare professionals can provide a more accurate diagnosis and appropriate management strategies for individuals with HPE9. Additionally, this information can be useful for genetic counseling and family planning purposes.
