It is a biological marker that produces a molecular diagnosis.
It becomes possible to do a prenatal test to determine if the fetus a woman is carrying has the gene which causes IP.
The mother of a baby born with can be tested to determine if she has the gene and has transmitted it to her fetus. This would give her information when considering additional pregnancies.
A basis for the further study of the various mutations of the gene to predetermine the level of severity.
A male fetus that was miscarried can be tested to determine if the cause was IP.
A woman can choose to have in-vitro fertilization. Pre implantation diagnosis tests an embryo fertilized in a test tube for IP. The parents then have the choice of selecting embryos unaffected by the genetic condition
