What is a "PTEN genetic test"?
A PTEN genetic test analyzes the PTEN gene to check for changes. This test helps identify genetic changes that may increase the risk of certain cancers or other health conditions. It is often used to diagnose conditions like Cowden syndrome and other disorders related to PTEN abnormalities. Identifying changes in the PTEN gene can help choose medical management and preventive measures for those at risk.
