ADAM10 Gene Reticulate Acropigmentation of Kitamura Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the ADAM10 Gene Reticulate Acropigmentation of Kitamura Genetic Test at a cost of AED 4400.0. This test is used to diagnose and determine the likelihood of passing on the rare genetic disorder known as Reticulate Acropigmentation of Kitamura (RAK).
Test Details
The ADAM10 gene is responsible for coding a protein called a disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain-containing protein 10. This protein plays a role in the processing of other proteins involved in cell adhesion and signaling.
RAK is characterized by reticulated hyperpigmentation (darkening) of the skin, primarily on the hands and feet. It is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner, meaning that a mutation in one copy of the ADAM10 gene is enough to cause the condition.
Our NGS (next-generation sequencing) genetic testing utilizes high-throughput sequencing technologies to analyze multiple genes simultaneously. In the case of RAK, this test can identify mutations in the ADAM10 gene responsible for the condition.
By identifying the specific mutation in the ADAM10 gene, our NGS genetic testing can confirm a diagnosis of RAK and provide valuable information for genetic counseling and family planning purposes. It can help determine the likelihood of passing on the condition to future generations.

Pre Test Information
Before undergoing the ADAM10 Gene Reticulate Acropigmentation of Kitamura NGS Genetic DNA Test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient. Additionally, a genetic counseling session may be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by the ADAM10 gene mutation.
This information helps in understanding the inheritance pattern of RAK and assists in accurate diagnosis and genetic counseling.
At DNA Labs UAE, we strive to provide comprehensive genetic testing services to aid in the diagnosis and management of genetic disorders. Our ADAM10 Gene Reticulate Acropigmentation of Kitamura Genetic Test is conducted by our Genetics department and overseen by experienced dermatologists.
