Detail Description

WNT10A Gene Odontoonychodermal Dysplasia NGS Genetic DNA Test Cost INR: 20000 Symptoms Diagnosis

Odontoonychodermal dysplasia (OODD) is a rare genetic disorder that affects the development of teeth, nails, and skin. The disorder is caused by mutations in the WNT10A gene, which provides instructions for making a protein that is involved in the development and maintenance of teeth, hair, and nails.

NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) is a powerful technology that can sequence the entire WNT10A gene in a single test, making it easier to diagnose OODD. This test is available at DNA Labs India and costs INR 20000.

Symptoms of OODD

The symptoms of OODD can vary from person to person, but typically include:

• Abnormal teeth with thin enamel, small or missing teeth, and delayed eruption
• Brittle nails that are prone to breaking and splitting
• Thickened skin on the palms and soles
• Hair that is sparse, thin, and slow-growing
• Short stature
• Delayed development of motor skills

Diagnosis of OODD

Diagnosing OODD can be challenging because it is a rare disorder and the symptoms can be similar to other conditions. However, a genetic test that looks for mutations in the WNT10A gene can confirm the diagnosis. The NGS genetic DNA test at DNA Labs India can identify mutations in the WNT10A gene and is highly accurate.

Conclusion

If you or someone you know is experiencing symptoms of OODD, it is important to seek medical attention and consider genetic testing. The NGS genetic DNA test at DNA Labs India is a reliable and affordable option for diagnosing OODD and can provide valuable information for treatment and management of the disorder.
