DNAAF5 Gene Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia Type 18 NGS Genetic DNA Test
Comprehensive Genetic Analysis for Respiratory Health
The DNAAF5 Gene Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia Type 18 NGS Genetic DNA Test represents a breakthrough in genetic diagnostics for respiratory disorders. This advanced next-generation sequencing test specifically targets the DNAAF5 gene, which plays a critical role in ciliary structure and function. Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD) Type 18 is a rare genetic condition characterized by impaired ciliary movement, leading to recurrent respiratory infections and other systemic complications.
What Does This Test Measure?
Our comprehensive NGS genetic test analyzes the complete coding sequence of the DNAAF5 gene to identify pathogenic variants responsible for Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia Type 18. The test detects:
- Point mutations and small insertions/deletions in the DNAAF5 gene
- Missense, nonsense, and frameshift mutations affecting protein function
- Splice site variants that disrupt normal gene expression
- Copy number variations and structural abnormalities
Who Should Consider This Test?
This genetic test is recommended for individuals presenting with symptoms suggestive of Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia, including:
- Chronic respiratory infections beginning in infancy or early childhood
- Persistent nasal congestion and sinusitis
- Recurrent middle ear infections and hearing loss
- Chronic cough with productive sputum
- Bronchiectasis confirmed by imaging studies
- Neonatal respiratory distress without clear cause
- Laterality defects such as situs inversus
- Male infertility due to impaired sperm motility
- Family history of Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia
Clinical Benefits of DNAAF5 Genetic Testing
Undergoing the DNAAF5 Gene Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia Type 18 test provides numerous clinical advantages:
- Accurate Diagnosis: Confirms or rules out PCD Type 18 with high precision
- Personalized Treatment: Enables targeted management strategies for respiratory symptoms
- Genetic Counseling: Provides essential information for family planning decisions
- Early Intervention: Facilitates proactive management to prevent complications
- Differential Diagnosis: Helps distinguish PCD from other respiratory conditions
- Reproductive Guidance: Informs fertility considerations and options
Understanding Your Test Results
Our genetic specialists provide comprehensive interpretation of your DNAAF5 test results:
- Positive Result: Indicates the presence of pathogenic mutations in the DNAAF5 gene, confirming Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia Type 18 diagnosis
- Negative Result: Suggests that DNAAF5 gene mutations are not responsible for the clinical symptoms
- Variant of Uncertain Significance: Identifies genetic changes with unclear clinical implications requiring further evaluation
- Carrier Status: Determines if an individual carries one copy of a mutated gene without showing symptoms
