Find Answers for Limb Development Concerns with Our WNT7A Gene Test
When you notice unusual limb development in your child or family member, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our WNT7A Gene Test provides the clarity and answers you deserve, helping you understand the genetic factors behind limb abnormalities and plan the best possible care pathway.
Understanding the WNT7A Gene Test
The WNT7A gene plays a crucial role in proper limb development during pregnancy. When mutations occur in this gene, it can lead to various limb abnormalities including missing or underdeveloped fibula bones, bowed femurs, and unusual finger or toe formations. Our test uses Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to accurately identify these genetic variations, giving you definitive answers about the underlying causes of these conditions.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important for:
- Children born with missing or underdeveloped fibula bones
- Individuals with noticeably bowed thigh bones (femurs)
- Those with extra fingers or toes (polydactyly)
- People with fused fingers or toes (syndactyly)
- Individuals with fewer than normal fingers or toes (oligodactyly)
- Families with a history of these limb abnormalities
- Parents planning future pregnancies after having a child with these conditions
Why This Test Matters for Your Family’s Health
Getting a definitive genetic diagnosis provides numerous benefits:
- Clear Treatment Planning: Understand the specific genetic cause to guide orthopedic and surgical interventions
- Family Planning Insights: Learn about inheritance patterns for future family planning decisions
- Early Intervention: Enable timely medical and therapeutic interventions for better outcomes
- Peace of Mind: Reduce uncertainty and anxiety by understanding the genetic basis of the condition
- Comprehensive Care: Coordinate with multiple specialists using accurate genetic information
Understanding Your Test Results
Our genetic counselling team will walk you through your results with compassion and clarity. We’ll explain what any identified genetic variations mean for your child’s health, discuss potential treatment options, and provide guidance on managing the condition. Whether the results confirm a WNT7A gene mutation or rule it out, you’ll have the information needed to make informed healthcare decisions.
