Find Clarity About Your Bone Health with FGF23 Genetic Testing
When you or your child experience persistent bone pain, unexplained fractures, or growth concerns, it’s natural to feel anxious and uncertain. Our FGF23 Gene Hypophosphatemic Rickets Autosomal Dominant NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the definitive answers you need to understand inherited bone mineralisation disorders and create an effective treatment plan.
Understanding Your FGF23 Genetic Test
This advanced genetic test examines the FGF23 gene using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology – the gold standard in genetic analysis. The FGF23 gene plays a crucial role in regulating phosphate levels in your body. When mutations occur in this gene, it can lead to hypophosphatemic rickets, a condition where your bones don’t mineralise properly, causing softening and weakening.
Unlike standard blood tests that only show current phosphate levels, our genetic test identifies the root cause of the problem, providing lifelong clarity about your bone health status.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your family members experience:
- Unexplained bone pain or tenderness, especially in legs and spine
- Delayed growth or short stature in children
- Bone deformities such as bowed legs or curved spine
- Dental problems including abscesses without cavities
- Muscle weakness that affects mobility
- Family history of rickets or bone mineralisation disorders
- Previous diagnosis of vitamin D-resistant rickets
If these symptoms sound familiar, genetic testing can provide the answers you’ve been seeking for proper diagnosis and targeted treatment.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Getting an accurate genetic diagnosis offers life-changing benefits:
- Prevent Permanent Damage: Early intervention can prevent irreversible bone deformities in children
- Personalised Treatment: Results guide targeted phosphate and vitamin D therapy
- Family Planning: Understand inheritance patterns for future family decisions
- Peace of Mind: End the uncertainty about your symptoms and diagnosis
- Improved Quality of Life: Proper management reduces pain and improves mobility
Many patients experience significant relief simply from having a clear diagnosis and treatment path.
