Understanding MEOX1 Gene Klippel-Feil Syndrome Type 2
Living with unexplained neck stiffness, limited head movement, or spinal concerns can be worrying, especially when these symptoms affect your child’s development. The MEOX1 Gene Klippel-Feil Syndrome Type 2 test offers the clarity you need to understand these genetic conditions and make informed healthcare decisions for your family.
What This Test Detects
This advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) test specifically examines the MEOX1 gene for mutations that cause Klippel-Feil syndrome type 2, an autosomal dominant condition. The test identifies genetic variations that lead to congenital fusion of cervical vertebrae, helping you understand the genetic basis of spinal abnormalities in your family.
Who Should Consider This Test
- Children or adults with limited neck mobility or neck stiffness
- Individuals with congenital spinal fusion or vertebral abnormalities
- Patients with short neck, low hairline, or restricted head movement
- Families with history of Klippel-Feil syndrome or related spinal conditions
- Parents concerned about genetic inheritance patterns for spinal development
