Detail Description

CITED2 Gene and Ventricular Septal Defect Type 2 NGS Genetic DNA Test

Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) is a common congenital heart defect that affects approximately 1 in every 500 newborns. It is characterized by a hole in the wall that separates the two lower chambers of the heart. While some VSDs close on their own, others require medical intervention. There are different types of VSDs, and one of them is VSD type 2.

Researchers have identified a gene known as CITED2 that may play a role in the development of VSD type 2. The CITED2 gene provides instructions for making a protein that regulates the activity of other genes. In animal studies, researchers have found that mutations in the CITED2 gene can lead to abnormal heart development, including VSD type 2.

If you suspect that your child may have VSD type 2, it is important to get a proper diagnosis. One way to do this is through NGS Genetic DNA testing, which analyzes the DNA sequence of the CITED2 gene. The test can determine if there are any mutations or variations in the gene that may be causing the VSD type 2.

Symptoms of VSD Type 2

Some of the common symptoms of VSD type 2 include:

• Rapid breathing
• Trouble feeding
• Difficulty gaining weight
• Pale or bluish skin color
• Frequent lung infections
• Tiring easily during activity

If you notice any of these symptoms in your child, it is important to consult a doctor right away.

Diagnosing VSD Type 2

Diagnosing VSD type 2 typically involves a physical examination, as well as imaging tests such as echocardiogram or chest X-ray. Your doctor may also recommend genetic testing to determine if there are any underlying genetic factors contributing to the VSD type 2.

NGS Genetic DNA Test Cost

The cost of NGS Genetic DNA testing for the CITED2 gene can vary depending on the provider. At DNA Labs India, the cost of the test is INR 20,000. The test is conducted using state-of-the-art technology and is performed by highly trained professionals.

Conclusion

Ventricular Septal Defect type 2 can be a serious condition that requires medical intervention. If you suspect that your child may have VSD type 2, it is important to consult a doctor right away. NGS Genetic DNA testing can help determine if there are any underlying genetic factors contributing to the condition. At DNA Labs India, we offer reliable and affordable testing for the CITED2 gene.
