The KRT16 gene pachyonychia congenita type 1 genetic test is a specialized diagnostic tool used to identify mutations in the KRT16 gene, which are responsible for the development of Pachyonychia Congenita Type 1 (PC-1). Pachyonychia Congenita is a rare genetic skin disorder characterized by thickened nails, painful calluses and blisters on the soles of the feet, oral leukokeratosis, and sometimes cysts on the skin. The condition is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner, meaning a mutation in just one of the two copies of the KRT16 gene can cause the disorder.

The test involves collecting a DNA sample, usually through a blood draw or a cheek swab, and analyzing the genetic material for specific mutations in the KRT16 gene. This genetic testing is crucial for the accurate diagnosis of PC-1, allowing for appropriate management and counseling for affected individuals and their families.

Conducted at DNA Labs UAE, a leading facility in genetic testing and analysis, the cost of the KRT16 gene pachyonychia congenita type 1 genetic test is set at 4400 AED. DNA Labs UAE is equipped with state-of-the-art technology and staffed by experienced geneticists and technicians, ensuring reliable and accurate test results. This test not only aids in confirming the diagnosis of PC-1 but also plays a significant role in research aimed at understanding the disease better and developing potential treatments.

KRT16 Gene Pachyonychia congenita type 1 Genetic Test

At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the KRT16 Gene Pachyonychia congenita type 1 Genetic Test for individuals who suspect they may have Pachyonychia congenita type 1 (PC-1), a rare genetic disorder affecting the nails, skin, and mucous membranes.

Test Details

The KRT16 gene is associated with PC-1 and mutations in this gene can lead to the development of the disorder. Our NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing method allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes, including the KRT16 gene.

Components

The KRT16 Gene Pachyonychia congenita type 1 Genetic Test is priced at 4400.0 AED.

Sample Condition

We require a blood sample, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card for the test.

Report Delivery

Once the sample is received, the report will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks.

Method

We utilize NGS technology for the KRT16 Gene Pachyonychia congenita type 1 Genetic Test.

Test Type

The test falls under the categories of Osteology, Dermatology, and Immunology Disorders.

Doctor

A dermatologist will oversee the test.

Test Department

The test is conducted in our Genetics department.

Pre Test Information

Prior to the test, we require a clinical history of the patient and a genetic counseling session to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by PC-1 and the KRT16 gene.

Understanding Pachyonychia congenita type 1

Pachyonychia congenita type 1 (PC-1) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by abnormalities in the nails, skin, and mucous membranes. It is caused by mutations in the KRT16 gene, which encodes a protein called keratin 16.

NGS Genetic Testing

Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) genetic testing is a cutting-edge DNA sequencing technology that allows for the analysis of multiple genes or even the entire genome. In the case of Pachyonychia congenita type 1, NGS testing can identify mutations in the KRT16 gene.

The process involves extracting DNA from a patient’s blood or saliva sample and sequencing it using advanced sequencing platforms. The resulting DNA sequences are then analyzed to identify any mutations or variations in the KRT16 gene.

NGS genetic testing provides a definitive diagnosis of Pachyonychia congenita type 1 by identifying specific mutations in the KRT16 gene. This information is crucial for treatment decisions, genetic counseling, and family planning.
