CFTR Gene Analysis

CFTR Gene Analysis


The CFTR Gene Analysis examines the CFTR (Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator) gene to detect genetic variations that may cause cystic fibrosis or CFTR-related disorders. This test may be advised if there is a family history of cystic fibrosis, unexplained respiratory or digestive symptoms, or as part of preconception or prenatal screening. Identifying gene changes early can help guide medical management and informed healthcare decisions.

What the Test Measures

This test analyses the CFTR gene to identify mutations or genetic changes that may affect how the body regulates salt and fluid movement across cells. Abnormalities in this gene can lead to cystic fibrosis or other related health conditions.
