Pre Test Information
Prior to undergoing the SLC6A19 Gene Hartnup Disorder Genetic Test, it is essential to provide the clinical history of the patient. Additionally, a Genetic Counselling session will be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by Hartnup disorder.
Test Details
The SLC6A19 gene is responsible for encoding the sodium-dependent neutral amino acid transporter B(0)AT1 protein. When mutations occur in this gene, it can result in Hartnup disorder. Hartnup disorder is an autosomal recessive disorder that affects the absorption of specific amino acids from the intestines and kidneys.
Common symptoms of Hartnup disorder include:
- Skin rash
- Sensitivity to sunlight
- Neurological symptoms (e.g., ataxia and tremors)
- Psychiatric symptoms (e.g., anxiety and depression)
NGS genetic testing is employed to identify any mutations in the SLC6A19 gene that may be responsible for Hartnup disorder. This advanced technology allows for the rapid and cost-effective sequencing of large amounts of DNA, making it an invaluable tool in detecting genetic variations associated with various disorders.
By analyzing the DNA sequence of the SLC6A19 gene, NGS can detect any mutations or variations that may be present. This information not only helps confirm a diagnosis of Hartnup disorder but also provides crucial insights for genetic counseling and family planning.
It is important to note that the SLC6A19 Gene Hartnup Disorder Genetic Test should only be performed by qualified healthcare professionals or genetic counselors who can accurately interpret the results and provide appropriate guidance and support.

| Test Details |
The SLC6A19 gene is responsible for encoding a protein called the sodium-dependent neutral amino acid transporter B(0)AT1. Mutations in this gene can lead to a disorder called Hartnup disorder. Hartnup disorder is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by impaired absorption of certain amino acids from the intestine and kidneys. This can result in a variety of symptoms, including skin rash, sensitivity to sunlight, neurological symptoms (such as ataxia and tremors), and psychiatric symptoms (such as anxiety and depression). NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing can be used to identify mutations in the SLC6A19 gene that may be responsible for Hartnup disorder. NGS allows for the sequencing of large amounts of DNA in a rapid and cost-effective manner, making it a valuable tool for identifying genetic variations associated with various disorders. By analyzing the DNA sequence of the SLC6A19 gene, NGS can detect any mutations or variations that may be present. This information can help in confirming a diagnosis of Hartnup disorder and can also provide valuable information for genetic counseling and family planning. It is important to note that genetic testing for Hartnup disorder should be performed by a qualified healthcare professional or genetic counselor who can interpret the results and provide appropriate guidance and support. |
