Detail Description

BMP2 Gene Brachydactyly type A2 NGS Genetic DNA Test

Brachydactyly type A2 is a genetic condition that affects the bones in the hands and feet. It is caused by a mutation in the BMP2 gene, which provides instructions for making a protein that is important for bone growth and development. DNA Labs India offers a specialized genetic test to identify this mutation in individuals with suspected Brachydactyly type A2.

Symptoms of Brachydactyly type A2

The main symptom of Brachydactyly type A2 is shortened fingers and toes. In some cases, the nails may also be affected. The severity of the condition can vary, with some individuals having only mild shortening while others may have more significant deformities.

Diagnosis of Brachydactyly type A2

Brachydactyly type A2 is typically diagnosed through physical examination and X-rays of the hands and feet. However, genetic testing can be used to confirm the diagnosis and identify the specific mutation in the BMP2 gene.

BMP2 Gene Brachydactyly type A2 NGS Genetic DNA Test

The BMP2 Gene Brachydactyly type A2 NGS Genetic DNA Test offered by DNA Labs India is a specialized genetic test that uses Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to identify mutations in the BMP2 gene. The test is a simple blood test that can be performed at any of our DNA Labs India locations.

Cost of the BMP2 Gene Brachydactyly type A2 NGS Genetic DNA Test

The cost of the BMP2 Gene Brachydactyly type A2 NGS Genetic DNA Test at DNA Labs India is INR 20,000. This includes the cost of the test, interpretation of results, and genetic counseling if needed.

Conclusion

If you or someone you know has symptoms of Brachydactyly type A2, it is important to seek medical attention and consider genetic testing. The BMP2 Gene Brachydactyly type A2 NGS Genetic DNA Test offered by DNA Labs India can provide valuable information about the specific mutation causing the condition and help guide treatment and management decisions.

The BMP2 gene is associated with a genetic condition called Brachydactyly Type A2. Brachydactyly refers to the shortening of the fingers and toes due to abnormal development of the phalanges (finger and toe bones). Different types of brachydactyly exist, each associated with specific genetic mutations.
