Understanding Brachydactyly Type A2: Your Path to Genetic Clarity
When you notice your child’s fingers or toes are shorter than expected, particularly affecting the middle bones, it’s natural to feel concerned about their development and future. Brachydactyly Type A2 is an inherited condition that specifically shortens the middle bone of the index fingers and second toes, and our BMPR1B genetic test provides the definitive answers you need for peace of mind and proper management.
What This Advanced Genetic Test Detects
Our NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) technology examines the BMPR1B gene with exceptional accuracy, identifying the specific genetic mutations responsible for Brachydactyly Type A2. This isn’t just about confirming a diagnosis – it’s about understanding the inheritance pattern that could affect future generations in your family.

- Children showing unusually short index fingers or second toes
