C5 Gene C5 deficiency Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the C5 Gene C5 deficiency Genetic Test at a cost of AED 4400.0. This test is designed to diagnose C5 deficiency, a rare genetic disorder that affects the C5 protein responsible for clearing pathogens and damaged cells from the body.
Test Details
The C5 gene, also known as complement component 5 gene, encodes the C5 protein. This protein is part of the complement system, which is essential for immune system function. Individuals with C5 deficiency have a lack or dysfunction of the C5 protein, making them more susceptible to certain infections, particularly those caused by bacteria.
Our C5 deficiency Genetic Test utilizes Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology. This advanced technique allows us to analyze an individual’s DNA sequence and identify any specific genetic mutations or variations associated with C5 deficiency. To perform the test, we require a sample of either blood, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card.
The test results will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks, and the analysis is conducted in our Genetics department by our experienced Dermatologist.
Pre-Test Information
Prior to undergoing the C5 Gene C5 deficiency NGS Genetic DNA Test, it is important for the patient to provide their clinical history. Additionally, a Genetic Counselling session will be conducted to create a pedigree chart of family members affected by C5 Gene C5 deficiency. This information helps us better understand the genetic makeup and inheritance patterns associated with C5 deficiency.
Importance of C5 Gene C5 deficiency Genetic Test
NGS genetic testing for C5 deficiency is crucial for diagnosing individuals with this condition. By identifying specific genetic variations or mutations in the C5 gene, our test enables accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment planning. Furthermore, this test can be used for carrier testing, which is valuable for family planning and genetic counseling purposes.
Please note that C5 deficiency NGS genetic testing is performed in specialized laboratories and requires a healthcare professional’s order. It is essential to have the test results interpreted by a qualified healthcare provider who can provide appropriate counseling and guidance based on the findings.
At DNA Labs UAE, we are dedicated to providing accurate and reliable genetic testing services. Our C5 Gene C5 deficiency Genetic Test is designed to help individuals and their families understand and manage this rare genetic disorder.

C5 gene, also known as complement component 5 gene, is responsible for encoding a protein called C5. C5 is a component of the complement system, which is a part of the immune system that helps to clear pathogens and damaged cells from the body. C5 deficiency is a rare genetic disorder that is characterized by a lack or dysfunction of the C5 protein. This deficiency can lead to an increased susceptibility to certain infections, particularly those caused by bacteria. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) genetic testing is a technique that can be used to analyze the DNA sequence of an individual’s genes. This type of testing can identify specific genetic mutations or variations that may be associated with C5 deficiency. NGS genetic testing for C5 deficiency involves collecting a sample of the individual’s DNA, typically through a blood or saliva sample. The DNA is then sequenced using high-throughput sequencing technologies to identify any variations or mutations in the C5 gene. By identifying specific genetic variations associated with C5 deficiency, NGS genetic testing can help in diagnosing individuals with this condition. It can also be used for carrier testing to determine if an individual carries a mutation in the C5 gene, which may be important for family planning or genetic counseling. It’s important to note that NGS genetic testing for C5 deficiency is typically performed in specialized laboratories and requires a healthcare professional’s order. The results of the test should be interpreted by a qualified healthcare provider who can provide appropriate counseling and guidance based on the findings. |
