The KRT16 gene palmoplantar keratoderma nonepidermolytic focal genetic test is a specialized diagnostic procedure aimed at identifying mutations in the KRT16 gene, which are known to cause a specific form of palmoplantar keratoderma (PPK). This non-epidermolytic, focal type of PPK is a rare genetic skin disorder characterized by the development of thick, callus-like areas on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. These skin abnormalities are due to excessive growth of the keratin layer in the epidermis, directly linked to mutations in the KRT16 gene.

Conducted at DNA Labs UAE, this genetic test is crucial for accurate diagnosis, enabling targeted management and genetic counseling for affected individuals and their families. The test involves collecting a DNA sample, typically through a blood draw or cheek swab, which is then analyzed for specific mutations in the KRT16 gene that are associated with the condition.

The cost of the KRT16 gene palmoplantar keratoderma nonepidermolytic focal genetic test is 4400 AED. This investment covers the comprehensive analysis required to detect the presence of the genetic mutation, offering invaluable insights for the management of the condition. It is a pivotal step towards personalized treatment planning, helping to mitigate symptoms and improve the quality of life for those affected by this rare genetic disorder.

KRT16 Gene Palmoplantar keratoderma nonepidermolytic focal Genetic Test

Introduction

The KRT16 gene is associated with a condition called Palmoplantar keratoderma, nonepidermolytic, focal. This genetic disorder affects the skin on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet, causing thickening and scaling of the skin in these areas.

Test Details

The KRT16 Gene Palmoplantar keratoderma nonepidermolytic focal Genetic Test is a type of NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing. This advanced sequencing technology allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes. In the case of Palmoplantar keratoderma, nonepidermolytic, focal, NGS genetic testing can identify mutations or variations in the KRT16 gene that may be responsible for the condition.

Test Components and Price

  • Components: KRT16 Gene Palmoplantar keratoderma nonepidermolytic focal Genetic Test
  • Price: 4400.0 AED

Sample Condition

The test requires either blood, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card as a sample.

Report Delivery

The report will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks.

Method

The test utilizes NGS technology for analysis.

Test Type

The KRT16 Gene Palmoplantar keratoderma nonepidermolytic focal Genetic Test falls under the categories of Osteology, Dermatology, and Immunology Disorders.

Doctor and Test Department

The test is conducted by a Dermatologist and falls under 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 KRT16 Gene Palmoplantar keratoderma nonepidermolytic focal NGS Genetic DNA Test. A Genetic Counselling session may also be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with the KRT16 Gene Palmoplantar keratoderma nonepidermolytic focal NGS Genetic DNA Test gene KRT16.

Conclusion

Genetic testing for the KRT16 gene can provide valuable information for the diagnosis, genetic counseling, and potential treatment decisions for Palmoplantar keratoderma, nonepidermolytic, focal. It is crucial to consult a qualified healthcare professional or genetic counselor for the proper conduct and interpretation of the test.

Test Details

The KRT16 gene is associated with a condition called Palmoplantar keratoderma, nonepidermolytic, focal. This is a genetic disorder that affects the skin on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet, causing thickening and scaling of the skin in these areas.

NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a type of genetic testing that uses advanced sequencing technology to analyze multiple genes simultaneously. In the case of Palmoplantar keratoderma, nonepidermolytic, focal, NGS genetic testing can be used to identify mutations or variations in the KRT16 gene that may be responsible for the condition.

By analyzing the genetic code of an individual, NGS genetic testing can provide information about specific genetic variants that may be associated with the development of Palmoplantar keratoderma, nonepidermolytic, focal. This can help with diagnosis, genetic counseling, and potentially guide treatment decisions.

It is important to note that genetic testing should be conducted and interpreted by a qualified healthcare professional or genetic counselor, who can provide appropriate guidance and support based on the results.
