FOXH1 Gene Congenital Heart Disease and Transposition of the Great Arteries NGS Genetic DNA Test
Comprehensive Genetic Testing for Congenital Heart Conditions
The FOXH1 Gene Congenital Heart Disease and Transposition of the Great Arteries NGS Genetic DNA Test represents a significant advancement in pediatric cardiology and genetic diagnostics. This specialized test focuses on identifying mutations in the FOXH1 gene, which plays a crucial role in embryonic heart development and has been linked to serious congenital heart defects, particularly transposition of the great arteries (TGA).
What Does This Test Measure?
This advanced genetic screening utilizes Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to comprehensively analyze the FOXH1 gene for:
- Point mutations and single nucleotide variants
- Insertions and deletions within the gene sequence
- Regulatory region abnormalities affecting gene expression
- Pathogenic variants associated with congenital heart disease
- Specific mutations linked to transposition of the great arteries
Who Should Consider This Test?
This genetic test is recommended for individuals displaying the following indications:
- Newborns or infants with suspected congenital heart defects
- Children diagnosed with transposition of the great arteries
- Patients with family histories of congenital heart disease
- Individuals with multiple congenital anomalies involving cardiac structures
- Parents planning pregnancy with previous children affected by heart defects
- Patients undergoing evaluation for dysmorphology syndromes
Key Benefits of FOXH1 Genetic Testing
- Early Diagnosis: Enables prompt identification of genetic predispositions to congenital heart conditions
- Personalized Treatment: Guides surgical planning and medical management strategies
- Family Planning: Provides valuable information for genetic counseling and reproductive decisions
- Proactive Monitoring: Allows for early intervention and specialized cardiac care
- Comprehensive Analysis: Utilizes state-of-the-art NGS technology for accurate results
Understanding Your Test Results
Your genetic test results will be carefully interpreted by our team of certified genetic counselors and pediatric cardiologists:
- Positive Result: Indicates the presence of a FOXH1 gene mutation associated with congenital heart disease risk
- Negative Result: Suggests no detectable mutations in the FOXH1 gene, though other genetic factors may still be present
- Variant of Uncertain Significance: Some genetic changes may require additional family studies for proper interpretation
- Clinical Correlation: Results should always be interpreted in the context of clinical symptoms and family history
