Introduction
Welcome to DNA Labs UAE, where we offer the SLURP1 Gene Mal de Meleda Genetic Test. This test is designed to diagnose the rare genetic disorder known as Mal de Meleda. We provide comprehensive analysis of the SLURP1 gene using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology.
About Mal de Meleda
Mal de Meleda is an autosomal recessive skin disorder characterized by thickening and scaling of the palms and soles. It is caused by mutations in the SLURP1 gene, which provides instructions for making a protein called secreted Ly-6/uPAR-related protein 1.
Test Details
Our SLURP1 Gene Mal de Meleda Genetic Test utilizes NGS technology to analyze the SLURP1 gene for mutations. This type of testing allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes, providing a comprehensive assessment of genetic variations that may be contributing to the development of Mal de Meleda.
Test Components and Price
The SLURP1 Gene Mal de Meleda Genetic Test is priced at AED 4400.0. The test can be performed using blood or extracted DNA, or with just one drop of blood on an FTA card.
Report Delivery
Once the test is conducted, the report will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks.
Test Type and Doctor
The SLURP1 Gene Mal de Meleda Genetic Test falls under the category of Osteology Dermatology Immunology Disorders. This test is performed by a dermatologist in our Genetics department.
Pre Test Information
Prior to conducting the SLURP1 Gene Mal de Meleda Genetic Test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient. This includes any relevant information about the patient’s symptoms and any family members affected by the disorder.
