Understanding HOXD13 Syndactyly: Your Family’s Genetic Health Journey
When you notice webbed fingers or toes in your family, it’s natural to feel concerned about what this means for your children’s future. At Oracle Genomics, we understand the emotional weight of genetic conditions and provide compassionate, accurate testing to give you the clarity you deserve.
What Does This Test Detect?
The HOXD13 Gene Syndactyly Type 1 NGS Genetic DNA Test specifically identifies mutations in the HOXD13 gene, which plays a crucial role in normal hand and foot development during pregnancy. When this gene contains specific changes, it can lead to syndactyly – where fingers or toes are fused together. Our advanced Next-Generation Sequencing technology examines every part of this gene with 99.9% accuracy, giving you definitive answers about your genetic status.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important for South African families experiencing:
- Babies born with webbed fingers or toes
- Family history of syndactyly across generations
- Planning pregnancy when syndactyly runs in the family
- Unexplained hand or foot abnormalities in children
- Concerns about passing genetic conditions to future children
If you’ve noticed these patterns in your family, genetic testing can provide the answers that bring peace of mind and informed healthcare decisions.
