TNNI2 Gene Arthrogryposis Distal Type 2B NGS Genetic DNA Test
Comprehensive Genetic Analysis for Musculoskeletal Disorders
The TNNI2 Gene Arthrogryposis Distal Type 2B NGS Genetic DNA Test represents a cutting-edge diagnostic approach for identifying genetic mutations associated with distal arthrogryposis type 2B. This specialized test employs advanced next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology to analyze the TNNI2 gene, which encodes troponin I type 2 (fast skeletal muscle), a crucial protein involved in muscle contraction regulation.
What Does This Test Detect?
This comprehensive genetic test specifically targets mutations in the TNNI2 gene located on chromosome 11q15.5. The test identifies:
- Point mutations affecting the TNNI2 gene structure
- Missense mutations disrupting normal protein function
- Genetic variations associated with autosomal dominant inheritance patterns
- Specific mutations known to cause distal arthrogryposis type 2B
Who Should Consider This Test?
This genetic test is recommended for individuals presenting with the following symptoms or clinical indications:
- Congenital joint contractures affecting hands and feet
- Characteristic clenched fists with overlapping fingers
- Foot deformities including clubfoot or vertical talus
- Limited joint mobility present at birth
- Family history of distal arthrogryposis
- Unexplained musculoskeletal abnormalities in newborns
- Individuals with suspected genetic musculoskeletal disorders
Key Benefits of TNNI2 Genetic Testing
Undergoing this specialized genetic analysis provides numerous advantages:
- Accurate Diagnosis: Confirms or rules out distal arthrogryposis type 2B with high precision
- Family Planning Guidance: Provides crucial information for genetic counseling and reproductive decisions
- Early Intervention: Enables timely medical management and therapeutic interventions
- Genetic Counseling: Supports informed decision-making for affected families
- Differential Diagnosis: Helps distinguish between various forms of arthrogryposis
Understanding Your Test Results
Your genetic test results will be carefully interpreted by our expert geneticists and clinicians:
- Positive Result: Indicates the presence of a TNNI2 gene mutation associated with distal arthrogryposis type 2B
- Negative Result: Suggests no detectable mutation in the TNNI2 gene, though other genetic causes may need consideration
- Variant of Uncertain Significance: Identifies genetic changes whose clinical significance requires further evaluation
All results include comprehensive interpretation and recommendations for next steps, including potential treatment options and family screening considerations.
