KRT17 Gene Steatocystoma Multiplex Genetic Test
Are you experiencing symptoms of steatocystoma multiplex? Do you want to know if you have the KRT17 gene mutation? DNA Labs UAE offers the KRT17 Gene Steatocystoma Multiplex Genetic Test at an affordable cost of AED 4400.0.
Test Details
The KRT17 gene is responsible for encoding a protein called keratin 17. Mutations in this gene have been associated with a skin condition called steatocystoma multiplex. Steatocystoma multiplex is a rare inherited disorder characterized by the development of multiple cysts on the skin. These cysts are typically filled with a thick, oily substance called sebum. They can occur anywhere on the body but are most commonly found on the chest, abdomen, and upper arms.
Our KRT17 Gene Steatocystoma Multiplex Genetic Test utilizes NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology to analyze multiple genes simultaneously. This advanced sequencing technology allows us to identify mutations in the KRT17 gene that may be causing the condition. By confirming a diagnosis of steatocystoma multiplex, our genetic test provides valuable information for genetic counseling and management of the condition.
NGS genetic testing can also identify carriers of the mutated gene within families, enabling early detection and intervention. However, it is important to note that genetic testing for steatocystoma multiplex is not always necessary for diagnosis. In many cases, the condition can be identified based on its characteristic appearance and family history. Genetic testing is typically recommended for cases where the diagnosis is uncertain or when additional information is needed for family planning or management of the condition.
Test Components and Price
Our KRT17 Gene Steatocystoma Multiplex Genetic Test is priced at AED 4400.0. The test requires a blood sample or extracted DNA, or just one drop of blood on an FTA card. The report will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks.
Test Type and Doctor
The KRT17 Gene Steatocystoma Multiplex Genetic Test falls under the category of Osteology Dermatology Immunology Disorders. Our dermatologist will oversee the test and provide expert guidance based on the results.
Pre-Test Information
Prior to taking the KRT17 Gene Steatocystoma Multiplex Genetic Test, we recommend providing the clinical history of the patient. Additionally, a genetic counseling session will be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with the KRT17 Gene Steatocystoma Multiplex NGS Genetic DNA Test gene KRT17.
Don’t let uncertainty linger. Take control of your health and get tested for the KRT17 gene mutation. Contact DNA Labs UAE today to schedule your KRT17 Gene Steatocystoma Multiplex Genetic Test.
