GATA4 Gene Tetralogy of Fallot NGS Genetic DNA Test: Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Cost

Are you or a loved one experiencing symptoms of Tetralogy of Fallot? It can be a scary and confusing time, but DNA Labs India is here to help. Our GATA4 Gene Tetralogy of Fallot NGS Genetic DNA Test can provide answers and a personalized treatment plan.

Symptoms of Tetralogy of Fallot

Tetralogy of Fallot is a congenital heart defect that affects approximately 1 in every 2,000 newborns. The condition occurs when there is a combination of four heart defects present at birth. These defects include:

• A hole between the two lower chambers of the heart (ventricular septal defect)
• Narrowing of the pulmonary valve and artery
• The aorta sits over the hole in the lower chambers of the heart
• The muscle surrounding the lower right chamber of the heart becomes too thick (right ventricular hypertrophy)

Common symptoms of Tetralogy of Fallot include:

• Bluish tint to the skin, lips, and nails (cyanosis)
• Fainting or passing out during physical activity
• Clubbing of fingers and toes (enlarged fingertips and toenails that curve down over the tips)
• Shortness of breath, especially during physical activity
• Tiring easily during play or exercise

Diagnosis of Tetralogy of Fallot

Tetralogy of Fallot is usually diagnosed in infancy or early childhood. A doctor may suspect the condition based on symptoms, such as a heart murmur or cyanosis. To confirm a diagnosis, the following tests may be performed:

• Echocardiogram
• Chest X-ray
• Electrocardiogram (ECG)
• Cardiac MRI or CT scan

GATA4 Gene Tetralogy of Fallot NGS Genetic DNA Test

At DNA Labs India, we offer a GATA4 Gene Tetralogy of Fallot NGS Genetic DNA Test. This test analyzes the GATA4 gene, which provides instructions for making a protein that plays a critical role in the development of the heart. Mutations in this gene can lead to the development of Tetralogy of Fallot.

Our test uses Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to analyze the GATA4 gene. This technology allows us to sequence millions of DNA fragments simultaneously, providing a more comprehensive view of the genetic information. The test is non-invasive and requires only a small blood sample.

Cost of GATA4 Gene Tetralogy of Fallot NGS Genetic DNA Test

The cost of our GATA4 Gene Tetralogy of Fallot NGS Genetic DNA Test is INR 20,000. We understand that the cost of medical testing can be a burden on families, which is why we offer affordable pricing and payment plans to help make genetic testing more accessible.

Conclusion

If you or a loved one is experiencing symptoms of Tetralogy of Fallot, it's important to seek medical attention and a proper diagnosis. Our GATA4 Gene Tetralogy of Fallot NGS Genetic DNA Test can provide answers and a personalized treatment plan. Contact DNA Labs India today to learn more about our testing services.
