Test Details
The SLC5A1 gene is responsible for encoding a protein called sodium/glucose cotransporter 1 (SGLT1). This protein is primarily found in the small intestine and is involved in the absorption of glucose and galactose from the diet into the bloodstream.
Glucose/galactose malabsorption is a genetic disorder characterized by the inability to absorb glucose and galactose from the diet. This condition is caused by mutations in the SLC5A1 gene, leading to a dysfunctional SGLT1 protein. As a result, affected individuals are unable to properly absorb glucose and galactose, leading to symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, and failure to thrive.
NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a type of genetic test that uses advanced sequencing technologies to analyze multiple genes simultaneously. In the context of glucose/galactose malabsorption, NGS genetic testing can be used to identify mutations in the SLC5A1 gene that may be causing the condition. This test can help confirm a diagnosis, guide treatment decisions, and provide information about the likelihood of passing on the condition to future generations.
