Find Clarity for Unexplained Bone Disorders with FGF23 Genetic Testing
When your child struggles with bone pain, bowed legs, or delayed growth, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. You deserve answers about whether these symptoms point to inherited hypophosphatemic rickets. Our FGF23 gene test provides the definitive diagnosis you need to move forward with confidence and appropriate treatment.
Understanding Your FGF23 Genetic Test
The FGF23 gene plays a crucial role in regulating phosphate levels in your body. When this gene carries specific mutations, it can lead to autosomal dominant hypophosphatemic rickets – a condition where your bones don’t mineralise properly, causing softening, bending, and growth problems. Our Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines every part of your FGF23 gene with exceptional precision, identifying even the smallest genetic variations that could be affecting your bone health.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your child experience:
- Unexplained bone pain or tenderness
- Bowed legs or other bone deformities
- Delayed growth or short stature
- Dental abnormalities or early tooth decay
- Family history of rickets or bone disorders
- Muscle weakness or fatigue
- Abnormal walking pattern or gait
If these symptoms sound familiar, genetic testing can provide the answers that routine blood tests might miss.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Getting a definitive diagnosis through FGF23 genetic testing opens the door to targeted treatment strategies that can significantly improve quality of life. Early detection means:
- Starting appropriate phosphate and vitamin D therapy sooner
- Preventing progressive bone deformities in children
- Reducing pain and improving mobility
- Understanding inheritance risks for family planning
- Avoiding unnecessary treatments for misdiagnosed conditions
- Peace of mind knowing the exact cause of symptoms
