KRT14 Gene Naegeli-Franceschetti-Jadassohn syndrome Genetic Test
Cost: AED 4400.0
Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Test Details
The KRT14 gene is responsible for encoding the keratin 14 protein, which is a structural protein found in the skin, hair, and nails. Mutations in this gene can cause Naegeli-Franceschetti-Jadassohn syndrome (NFJS), a rare genetic disorder characterized by abnormal skin pigmentation, thickening of the skin on the palms and soles, and the absence or reduction of sweat glands.
NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a method used to analyze multiple genes simultaneously. In the context of NFJS, NGS can be used to identify mutations in the KRT14 gene or other genes associated with the syndrome. This type of testing can provide a comprehensive analysis of an individual’s genetic makeup and help diagnose the underlying cause of their symptoms.
By identifying the specific genetic mutation causing NFJS, NGS genetic testing can also be used for carrier screening and prenatal diagnosis in families with a history of the condition. Additionally, it can aid in genetic counseling and management of the disorder.
