Understanding ZFPM2 Gene and Tetralogy of Fallot: DNA Labs India’s NGS Genetic Test
Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is a congenital heart defect that affects about 1 in every 2,500 babies born worldwide. This condition occurs when there is an abnormality in the development of the heart during the first eight weeks of fetal growth. The four defects that make up TOF include a hole in the heart, narrow pulmonary artery, enlarged right ventricle, and misplaced aorta.
While the exact cause of TOF is not known, recent studies have shown that genetic factors play a significant role in its development. One such gene that has been linked to TOF is the ZFPM2 gene.
What is the ZFPM2 Gene?
The ZFPM2 gene is responsible for the production of a protein that plays a crucial role in the development of the heart. This protein, known as FOG2, helps in the formation of the heart valves and septa, which are essential for proper blood circulation. Mutations in the ZFPM2 gene can affect the production of FOG2, leading to heart defects such as TOF.
NGS Genetic Test for ZFPM2 Gene Mutation
DNA Labs India offers a Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) Genetic Test that can detect mutations in the ZFPM2 gene. This test involves the analysis of a DNA sample obtained from the patient’s blood or saliva. The sample is processed using advanced sequencing technology that can detect even the smallest changes in the DNA sequence.
Cost of NGS Genetic Test for ZFPM2 Gene Mutation
The cost of the NGS Genetic Test for ZFPM2 Gene Mutation offered by DNA Labs India is INR 20,000. This test is highly accurate and can provide valuable insights into the genetic factors that may be contributing to the development of TOF.
Symptoms of Tetralogy of Fallot
The symptoms of TOF can vary from person to person, depending on the severity of the condition. Some common symptoms include:
- Blue-tinted skin, lips, and nails (cyanosis)
- Rapid breathing
- Fainting
- Poor weight gain
- Tiring easily during physical activity
Diagnosis of Tetralogy of Fallot
TOF can be diagnosed prenatally through ultrasound imaging. After birth, a physical examination, echocardiogram, and electrocardiogram may be used to confirm the diagnosis. Genetic testing such as the NGS Genetic Test for ZFPM2 Gene Mutation can also be performed to identify any underlying genetic factors contributing to the condition.
Conclusion
TOF is a serious heart condition that requires prompt diagnosis and treatment. DNA Labs India’s NGS Genetic Test for ZFPM2 Gene Mutation can provide valuable information about the genetic factors that may be contributing to the development of TOF. Early detection and treatment can significantly improve the long-term outcomes for individuals with this condition.
