Alkaline Phosphatase Report

Alkaline PhosphataseThe Alkaline Phosphatase report is a genetic test used to identify mutations in the ALPL gene, which is involved in bone mineralization and metabolism. Mutations in this gene can lead to hypophosphatasia, a rare genetic disorder characterized by defective bone and teeth mineralization. The report tests for genetic variants that are known to affect these processes.3 or more genes analyzed It is recommended if: This report is designed for individuals with a family history of hypophosphatasia or individuals with symptoms of the condition, such as skeletal abnormalities, dental problems, and muscle weakness. Genetic testing can confirm a diagnosis, inform treatment and management decisions, and guide family planning. Testing can also provide reassurance for unaffected family members.
