ITGB3 Gene Thrombocytopenia Neonatal Alloimmune NGS Genetic DNA Test
Introduction
The ITGB3 Gene Thrombocytopenia Neonatal Alloimmune NGS Genetic DNA Test is a specialized diagnostic tool that assesses genetic factors contributing to neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (NAIT). NAIT occurs when maternal antibodies attack fetal platelets, leading to serious complications. This test plays a crucial role in early diagnosis and management, allowing healthcare providers to tailor treatments effectively.
What the Test Measures
This genetic test specifically measures mutations in the ITGB3 gene, which encodes the integrin beta-3 protein involved in platelet function. Detecting these mutations helps in understanding the underlying causes of thrombocytopenia in newborns.
Who Should Consider This Test?
Individuals who may benefit from this test include:
- Newborns diagnosed with thrombocytopenia.
- Pregnant women with a history of recurrent fetal thrombocytopenia.
- Families with a known history of NAIT or related genetic disorders.
Symptoms to consider include unexplained bruising, bleeding, or a family history of platelet disorders.
Benefits of Taking the Test
- Early identification of genetic causes of neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia.
- Informed decision-making for management and treatment options.
- Potential to prevent serious complications associated with untreated NAIT.
- Guidance for future pregnancies through genetic counseling.
Understanding Your Results
Results from the ITGB3 Gene Thrombocytopenia test will indicate whether any mutations are present. A positive result may prompt further testing and a tailored management plan, while a negative result can provide reassurance. It is essential to discuss results with a healthcare provider for comprehensive understanding and next steps.

Additional Information
Turnaround time for results is approximately 3 to 4 weeks. The sample type required can be blood, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card. Prior to testing, a genetic counseling session is recommended to gather the clinical history of the patient and to draw a pedigree chart of affected family members.
