Blepharophimosis-Ptosis-Epicanthus Inversus syndrome (BPES) via the FOXL2 Gene
Use
This test is intended for individuals who have relevant clinical features or a suspected diagnosis of Blepharophimosis-Ptosis-Epicanthus Inversus Syndrome (BPES). It aims to detect genetic variants in the FOXL2 gene, which are associated with the condition. The results can help confirm a diagnosis and potentially guide clinical management and genetic counseling.
