The LCAT gene plays a crucial role in the body’s metabolism of lipids. It encodes an enzyme called lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase, which is instrumental in the process of converting cholesterol into a form that can be easily transported through the bloodstream. Mutations in the LCAT gene can lead to a condition known as LCAT deficiency, which is characterized by abnormal lipid levels in the blood, potentially leading to a range of health issues including kidney disease, corneal opacities, and anemia.

To diagnose LCAT deficiency, a genetic test is conducted, which involves analyzing the patient’s DNA to look for mutations in the LCAT gene. This test is crucial for confirming the diagnosis, understanding the severity of the condition, and guiding treatment decisions.

In the United Arab Emirates, DNA Labs UAE offers this specialized genetic test. The cost of the test is 3200 AED. DNA Labs UAE is known for its state-of-the-art facilities and expertise in genetic testing, providing accurate and reliable results.

LCAT Gene LCAT DEFICIENCY Genetic Test

At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the LCAT Gene LCAT DEFICIENCY Genetic Test at a cost of AED 3200.0. This test is used to diagnose LCAT deficiency, a rare genetic disorder characterized by the impaired function of the LCAT enzyme.

Test Details

The LCAT gene is responsible for producing an enzyme called lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT). This enzyme plays a crucial role in lipid metabolism, specifically in the formation of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. LCAT deficiency can lead to abnormal lipid metabolism, resulting in low levels of HDL cholesterol and high levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol.

Symptoms and Diagnosis

LCAT deficiency can cause various symptoms, including corneal opacities, anemia, kidney problems, and cardiovascular disease. If you suspect LCAT deficiency, it is important to consult with a General Physician who can refer you for the LCAT Gene LCAT DEFICIENCY Genetic Test.

Test Components and Sample Condition

The LCAT Gene LCAT DEFICIENCY Genetic Test requires a blood sample or extracted DNA. Alternatively, one drop of blood on an FTA card can also be used as a sample.

Report Delivery and Test Method

After the sample is collected, the report will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks. The test is performed using NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology, which allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes.

Test Type and Department

The LCAT Gene LCAT DEFICIENCY Genetic Test falls under the category of Metabolic Disorders. It is conducted in the Genetics department of our laboratory.

Pre Test Information

Prior to the test, it is recommended to provide the clinical history of the patient who is going for the LCAT Gene LCAT DEFICIENCY NGS Genetic DNA Test. Additionally, a Genetic Counselling session will be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with LCAT DEFICIENCY.

Conclusion

The LCAT Gene LCAT DEFICIENCY Genetic Test is a valuable tool in diagnosing LCAT deficiency and guiding appropriate management and treatment options for affected individuals and their families. If you suspect LCAT deficiency, consult with a General Physician and consider getting tested at DNA Labs UAE.
