PPARG Gene Lipodystrophy familial partial type 3 Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the PPARG Gene Lipodystrophy familial partial type 3 Genetic Test. This test is designed to identify mutations or variations in the PPARG gene that may be responsible for the development of Lipodystrophy, familial partial, type 3 (FPLD3).
Test Details
The PPARG gene encodes a protein called peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-gamma). This protein plays a crucial role in regulating genes involved in lipid metabolism and adipocyte differentiation. FPLD3 is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the loss of subcutaneous fat in specific areas of the body, such as the limbs, buttocks, and face. It can lead to metabolic abnormalities, including insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and diabetes.

Pre Test Information
Prior to undergoing the PPARG Gene Lipodystrophy familial partial type 3 Genetic Test, it is important for the patient to provide their clinical history. Additionally, a genetic counseling session will be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with Lipodystrophy, familial partial, type 3. This information will help in the interpretation of the test results and provide appropriate recommendations.
Methodology
NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) is a high-throughput DNA sequencing technology used in the analysis of multiple genes simultaneously. In the case of genetic testing for FPLD3, NGS is employed to identify mutations or variations in the PPARG gene. By analyzing the patient’s DNA sample, NGS can detect specific changes in the PPARG gene sequence, such as single nucleotide variations (SNVs), insertions, deletions, or duplications.
Importance of Genetic Testing for FPLD3
Genetic testing for FPLD3 using NGS is crucial for diagnosing the condition and providing important information for genetic counseling, disease management, and potential treatment options. It is important to note that this test should be performed by a qualified geneticist or genetic counselor who can interpret the results and provide appropriate recommendations based on the individual’s specific case.
At DNA Labs UAE, we strive to provide accurate and reliable genetic testing services.
