SLC26A4 Gene Pendred Syndrome Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the SLC26A4 gene Pendred syndrome genetic test. This test is designed to detect mutations in the SLC26A4 gene, which is associated with Pendred syndrome. Pendred syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by hearing loss and an enlarged thyroid gland (goiter).
Test Components and Price
The SLC26A4 gene Pendred syndrome genetic test is priced at 4400.0 AED. The test can be performed using a blood sample, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card.
Report Delivery
The report for the SLC26A4 gene Pendred syndrome genetic test is typically delivered within 3 to 4 weeks.
Method
The SLC26A4 gene Pendred syndrome genetic test is performed using NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology. NGS allows for the simultaneous sequencing of multiple genes, including the SLC26A4 gene, in a single test.
Test Type
The SLC26A4 gene Pendred syndrome genetic test falls under the category of Ear Nose Throat Disorders.
Doctor and Test Department
The SLC26A4 gene Pendred syndrome genetic test is conducted by an ENT doctor and falls under the Genetics test department.
Pre Test Information
Prior to undergoing the SLC26A4 gene Pendred syndrome genetic test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient. Additionally, a genetic counseling session is recommended to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by SLC52A2 Gene Brown-Vialetto-Van Laere syndrome type 2 NGS Genetic DNA Test gene SLC52A16.
Test Details
The SLC26A4 gene is responsible for encoding a protein called pendrin, which is involved in the transport of iodide. Iodide is essential for the synthesis of thyroid hormones. Mutations in the SLC26A4 gene can lead to Pendred syndrome. The SLC26A4 gene Pendred syndrome genetic test utilizes NGS technology to detect mutations or variations in the gene that may be responsible for Pendred syndrome. This testing method is more efficient and cost-effective compared to traditional Sanger sequencing, as it can analyze multiple genes in a single test.
To perform the SLC26A4 gene Pendred syndrome genetic test, a DNA sample is required. This sample can be obtained through a blood or saliva sample. The DNA is then sequenced using NGS technology to identify any mutations or variations in the SLC26A4 gene. The results of the test can help diagnose Pendred syndrome and provide information about the specific genetic changes involved.
Genetic testing for Pendred syndrome can be beneficial for individuals with hearing loss and an enlarged thyroid gland, as it can confirm the diagnosis and provide information about the inheritance pattern of the condition. It can also be useful for family members of individuals with Pendred syndrome, as it can identify carriers of the genetic mutation.
It is important to note that genetic testing for Pendred syndrome should be performed by a qualified healthcare professional or genetic counselor who can interpret the results and provide appropriate counseling and guidance.
