Find Clarity About Hereditary Bone Growth Conditions
If you or your family members experience unexplained bone growths, lumps near joints, or have been diagnosed with multiple exostoses, you understand the uncertainty and concern that comes with these conditions. The EXT1 Gene Exostoses Multiple Type 1 NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the answers you need to take control of your health journey.
Understanding Your EXT1 Gene Test
This advanced genetic test examines the EXT1 gene using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, the gold standard in genetic analysis. The EXT1 gene plays a crucial role in bone development, and mutations in this gene can lead to hereditary multiple exostoses – a condition where benign bone tumours develop, typically during childhood and adolescence.
Our testing process is designed with your comfort in mind, requiring only a simple blood sample or DNA extraction. The comprehensive analysis provides clear, actionable results that your healthcare provider can use to develop an effective management plan.
Who Should Consider This Test?
- Individuals with multiple bony growths (exostoses) near joints
- Children or adults with restricted joint movement or bone deformities
- People with a family history of multiple exostoses
- Parents concerned about passing hereditary conditions to children
- Individuals experiencing pain or discomfort from bone growths
- Those with previous inconclusive bone disorder diagnoses
If you recognise these symptoms in yourself or your family, this test can provide the clarity needed for proper management and peace of mind.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Early identification of EXT1 gene mutations offers significant benefits for your long-term health and quality of life:
- Proactive Management: Early detection allows for timely monitoring and intervention
- Family Planning: Understand inheritance patterns for informed reproductive decisions
- Reduced Anxiety: Replace uncertainty with clear understanding and control
- Prevent Complications: Monitor growths to prevent joint damage or nerve compression
- Personalised Care: Work with specialists to create tailored treatment plans
