HOXD13 Gene VATER Association NGS Genetic DNA Test
Comprehensive Genetic Analysis for Limb Development Disorders
The HOXD13 Gene VATER Association NGS Genetic DNA Test represents a significant advancement in genetic diagnostics for individuals and families affected by congenital limb abnormalities and VATER/VACTERL association syndrome. This specialized test focuses on the HOXD13 gene, which plays a fundamental role in embryonic development, particularly in the formation of limbs and digits.
What Does This Test Measure?
Our advanced NGS technology provides comprehensive analysis of the HOXD13 gene, specifically targeting:
- Point mutations and single nucleotide variations
- Insertions and deletions within the gene sequence
- Regulatory region abnormalities affecting gene expression
- Polyalanine tract expansions associated with synpolydactyly
- Genetic variations linked to limb malformation syndromes
Who Should Consider This Test?
This genetic test is particularly recommended for individuals presenting with:
- Congenital limb abnormalities including syndactyly or polydactyly
- Family history of VATER/VACTERL association syndrome
- Multiple congenital anomalies affecting limbs and other systems
- Unexplained developmental delays with limb involvement
- Previous inconclusive genetic testing for limb disorders
- Planning for family with known HOXD13 gene mutations
Key Benefits of HOXD13 Genetic Testing
- Accurate Diagnosis: Provides definitive genetic confirmation for VATER association and related conditions
- Family Planning Guidance: Helps understand inheritance patterns and recurrence risks
- Early Intervention: Enables timely medical management and specialized care
- Comprehensive Analysis: NGS technology ensures thorough examination of the entire gene
- Expert Interpretation: Includes genetic counseling for result explanation
Understanding Your Test Results
Our genetic counselors will help you interpret your results, which may include:
- Positive Result: Indicates presence of HOXD13 gene mutation, confirming genetic basis for symptoms
- Negative Result: Suggests symptoms may be due to other genetic or environmental factors
- Variant of Uncertain Significance: Requires additional family studies for interpretation
- Carrier Status: Important information for family planning decisions
