How is the disorder diagnosed?
Diagnosis is based on clinical features and genetic testing, such as NGS to identify mutations in the EDAR gene.
What is the NGS genetic test?
Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) is a technology that can identify mutations in multiple genes simultaneously, used for accurate diagnosis of genetic disorders.
What is the cost of the test in India?
The cost of NGS genetic testing for EDAR gene ectodermal dysplasia at DNA Labs India is INR 20,000.
Is home sample collection available?
