MYO5B Gene Diarrhea Type 2 with Microvillus Atrophy NGS Genetic DNA Test
Comprehensive Genetic Testing for Severe Intestinal Disorders
The MYO5B Gene Diarrhea Type 2 with Microvillus Atrophy NGS Genetic DNA Test represents a breakthrough in molecular diagnostics for congenital diarrheal disorders. This specialized genetic test utilizes cutting-edge next-generation sequencing technology to identify mutations in the MYO5B gene, which plays a critical role in intestinal epithelial cell function and microvillus formation.
What Does This Test Measure?
This comprehensive genetic analysis specifically targets the MYO5B gene, examining it for pathogenic variants that disrupt normal intestinal absorption and secretion processes. The test detects:
- Point mutations and small insertions/deletions in the MYO5B gene
- Genetic variants associated with microvillus inclusion disease
- Mutations affecting myosin VB protein function in intestinal epithelial cells
- Genetic markers for congenital sodium diarrhea and related intestinal disorders
Who Should Consider This Test?
This genetic test is recommended for individuals presenting with:
- Persistent, severe watery diarrhea beginning in infancy
- Failure to thrive despite adequate nutritional intake
- Developmental delays associated with chronic diarrhea
- Family history of congenital diarrheal disorders
- Unexplained intestinal malabsorption syndromes
- Suspected microvillus inclusion disease based on clinical presentation
Clinical Benefits of Genetic Testing
Undergoing the MYO5B genetic test provides numerous clinical advantages:
- Definitive Diagnosis: Confirms or rules out MYO5B-related diarrhea disorders
- Personalized Treatment: Guides targeted therapeutic interventions
- Genetic Counseling: Enables informed family planning decisions
- Prognostic Information: Helps predict disease progression and outcomes
- Early Intervention: Facilitates timely nutritional and medical management
Understanding Your Test Results
Your genetic test results will be carefully interpreted by our team of certified genetic counselors and medical geneticists:
- Positive Result: Indicates the presence of pathogenic MYO5B mutations, confirming the diagnosis of MYO5B-related diarrhea with microvillus atrophy
- Negative Result: Suggests that MYO5B mutations are not the cause of symptoms, though other genetic or environmental factors may be involved
- Variant of Uncertain Significance: Identifies genetic changes whose clinical significance requires further investigation
- Carrier Status: Determines if individuals carry one copy of a mutated gene without showing symptoms
