Previous medical reports on bone development are recommended
Test results are not affected by routine medications

Frequently Asked Questions

Short answers to the FAQs published with this service.

• What is the FLNA gene and its role in this condition?

The FLNA gene produces Filamin A protein, essential for cytoskeleton structure and bone development. Mutations lead to skeletal disorders.

• Is fasting required for this genetic analysis?

No, fasting is not required for the FLNA deletions/duplications test; it can be performed at any time.

• How is the sample collected for this test?

A standard blood sample is drawn from a vein, similar to routine laboratory blood tests.

• How long does it take to receive the genetic results?

Due to the complexity of molecular testing, results typically take between 2 to 3 weeks.

• Can this test be performed at home?

Yes, home sample collection is available for this genetic test through the Lahalak platform.

• What does a deletion or duplication in the FLNA gene mean?

It indicates a change in the amount of genetic material for that gene, which may explain clinical skeletal symptoms.
