Help shorten the diagnostic journey with gene panel testing
The Discover Dysplasias™ sponsored testing program can help facilitate diagnosis for some of the most common causes of skeletal dysplasias and, in some cases, put your patients on the path to disease-specific management sooner.1-5
Most skeletal dysplasias have a genetic component
92% of skeletal dysplasias have an identified molecular basis.6
Identifying the underlying genetic cause of a skeletal dysplasia is important, as each case might be managed differently.3
Delayed or incomplete diagnoses can result in less-optimal patient outcomes, including potential surgical risks.1,3
