TAZ Gene Barth Syndrome NGS Genetic DNA Test
Introduction to the Test
The TAZ Gene Barth Syndrome NGS Genetic DNA Test is a revolutionary diagnostic tool that assesses the presence of genetic mutations associated with Barth syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that primarily affects the heart and muscle function. This test utilizes next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology to provide accurate and comprehensive results, allowing for early diagnosis and management of the condition.
What the Test Measures
This test specifically detects mutations in the TAZ gene, which is crucial for mitochondrial function. By identifying these mutations, healthcare providers can better understand the underlying causes of cardiovascular issues and tailor treatment plans accordingly.
