Test Overview & Methodology
The WNT4 gene SERKAL syndrome NGS test detects pathogenic and likely pathogenic variants linked to sex reversal, renal agenesis, and adrenal hypoplasia, providing definitive molecular diagnosis and guiding reproductive risk assessment and personalised surveillance. Our validated NGS pipeline delivers comprehensive coverage of the entire WNT4 coding region, flanking intronic sequences, and copy number variations (CNVs).

Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As a DHA-licensed Consultant Medical Genetics, I emphasise that WNT4 gene NGS results must be interpreted within the full clinical and family history. A negative result does not exclude other genetic or syndromic causes of renal and reproductive anomalies. All management decisions should involve your endocrinologist or paediatric nephrologist.”
