Your doctor will request a sample of your child\u2019s saliva, blood, or cells from a cheek swab. This may happen at the doctor\u2019s office, or you may be able to do this at home.<\/p>\n<p>Once the sample is collected, it\u2019s sent to a lab for analysis. Usually, results will be ready within a few weeks. Once they are ready, you may meet with your doctor or a genetic counselor who will help you and your family understand the results and what\u2019s next.<\/p>\n                                                                                    <\/div>\n                    \n                                            <div class=\"content-block second-block\">\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    \n                                    \n                                                                                                                \n                                    \n                                    <figure>\n                                        <div class=\"image image-rounded\">\n                                                                                            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/skeletal-dysplasia.biomarin.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/Gen-panel-Image_D.png?v=0.23\" alt=\"Photo of doctor giving a toddler with skeletal dysplasia a high five\" \/>                                                                                    <\/div>\n                                                                            <\/figure>\n                                                                                    <\/div>\n                                                \t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div id=\"acf-block-6461693ddc540\" class=\"block split-content equal-bias block-tight-top block-tight-bottom\" data-muted-autoplay=\"false\">\n\t<div class=\"wrapper\">\n\t\t<div class=\"inner-wrapper\">\n\t\t                                                                <div class=\"content-block first-block\">\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    \n                                    \n                                                                                                                \n                                    \n                                    <figure>\n                                        <div class=\"image image-rounded\">\n                                                                                            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/skeletal-dysplasia.biomarin.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/What-happens-Image_M.png?v=0.23\" alt=\"Photo of child playing outdoors after skeletal dysplasia gene panel\" \/>                                                                                    <\/div>\n                                                                            <\/figure>\n                                                                                    <\/div>\n                    \n                                            <div class=\"content-block second-block\">\n                                                                                                <h3>What happens after you receive your gene panel test results?<\/h3>\n<p>Once you receive your child\u2019s test results, you may be able to find more specific care for your child\u2019s condition.
