KRT5 Gene Epidermolysis bullosa simplex Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the KRT5 Gene Epidermolysis bullosa simplex Genetic Test to diagnose and understand this rare genetic disorder. Epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS) affects the skin and causes blistering and fragility. Our test helps in identifying specific mutations in the KRT5 gene that are associated with EBS.
Test Details
The KRT5 gene is responsible for producing a protein called keratin 5, which is found in the basal layer of the epidermis. In the case of EBS, the gene mutations or variations in the KRT5 gene can lead to the development of the condition.
Test Components and Price
The KRT5 Gene Epidermolysis bullosa simplex Genetic Test is priced at 4400.0 AED. The test requires a blood sample, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card.
Report Delivery and Method
After conducting the test, the report will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks. The test utilizes Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, which allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes.
Test Type and Doctor
The KRT5 Gene Epidermolysis bullosa simplex Genetic Test falls under the category of Osteology Dermatology Immunology Disorders. Our experienced dermatologists handle this test in the Genetics department.
Pre Test Information
Prior to the test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient who is going for the KRT5 Gene Epidermolysis bullosa simplex NGS Genetic DNA Test. A Genetic Counseling session will be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by the KRT5 Gene Epidermolysis bullosa simplex NGS Genetic DNA Test gene KRT5.
Benefits of the Test
The KRT5 Gene Epidermolysis bullosa simplex Genetic Test using NGS technology helps in confirming a diagnosis, providing genetic counseling, and potentially guiding treatment options for affected individuals and their families. By identifying specific mutations in the KRT5 gene, healthcare professionals can better understand the condition and its inheritance pattern.
At DNA Labs UAE, we strive to provide accurate and timely genetic testing services. Our KRT5 Gene Epidermolysis bullosa simplex Genetic Test can help in diagnosing and managing this rare genetic disorder. Contact us today to schedule an appointment or learn more about our services.

| Test Details |
The KRT5 gene is responsible for providing instructions to produce a protein called keratin 5. This protein is found in the skin, particularly in the basal layer of the epidermis. Epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS) is a rare genetic disorder that affects the skin and causes blistering and fragility. It is usually inherited in an autosomal dominant manner, meaning that an affected individual has a 50% chance of passing the condition on to each of their children. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is a genetic testing technique that allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes. In the context of EBS, NGS can be used to identify mutations or variations in the KRT5 gene that may be responsible for the condition. By performing a genetic test using NGS, healthcare professionals can identify specific mutations in the KRT5 gene that are associated with EBS. This information can be helpful in confirming a diagnosis, providing genetic counseling, and potentially guiding treatment options for affected individuals and their families. |
