ZFPM2 Gene Tetralogy of Fallot Genetic Test
Test Name: ZFPM2 Gene Tetralogy of Fallot Genetic Test
Components: DNA Labs UAE offers the ZFPM2 Gene Tetralogy of Fallot Genetic Test at a cost of AED 4400.0
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 ZFPM2 Gene Tetralogy of Fallot Genetic Test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient. A Genetic Counselling session may also be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with the ZFPM2 Gene Tetralogy of Fallot NGS Genetic DNA Test gene ZFPM2.
Test Details: The ZFPM2 gene codes for a protein called zinc finger protein, FOG family member 2. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), a congenital heart defect characterized by four specific heart structure defects. These defects include a ventricular septal defect, pulmonary stenosis, right ventricular hypertrophy, and an overriding aorta. NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) is a genetic testing technique used to analyze multiple genes or the entire genome simultaneously. In the case of TOF, NGS can identify mutations or variations in the ZFPM2 gene that may contribute to the development of the condition. This information aids in the diagnosis, prognosis, and management of TOF. It is important to note that genetic testing is typically performed alongside other diagnostic methods, such as imaging tests and clinical evaluations, to confirm the diagnosis of TOF. Genetic testing may also be recommended for family members to determine their risk of developing the condition.

Test Details |
ZFPM2 is a gene that codes for a protein called zinc finger protein, FOG family member 2. Mutations in this gene have been associated with a congenital heart defect called Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). TOF is a complex heart condition characterized by four specific defects in the structure of the heart. These defects include a ventricular septal defect (a hole between the two lower chambers of the heart), pulmonary stenosis (narrowing of the pulmonary valve and artery), right ventricular hypertrophy (thickening of the right ventricle), and an overriding aorta (the aorta is shifted to the right and receives blood from both ventricles). NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) is a genetic testing technique that allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes or the entire genome. In the case of TOF, NGS can be used to identify mutations or variations in the ZFPM2 gene that may be responsible for the development of the condition. By analyzing the genetic information of an individual using NGS, doctors and geneticists can identify specific mutations or variations in the ZFPM2 gene that may contribute to the development of TOF. This information can help in the diagnosis, prognosis, and management of the condition. It is important to note that while genetic testing can provide valuable information, it is usually performed in conjunction with other diagnostic methods, such as imaging tests and clinical evaluations, to confirm the diagnosis of TOF. Additionally, genetic testing may also be recommended for family members of individuals with TOF to determine their risk of developing the condition. |
