The SOX10 Gene Waardenburg Syndrome Type 4C Genetic Test is a specialized diagnostic procedure available at DNA Labs UAE, designed to identify mutations in the SOX10 gene, which are linked to Waardenburg Syndrome Type 4C (WS4C). Waardenburg Syndrome is a group of genetic conditions characterized by varying degrees of hearing loss, changes in skin, hair, and eye pigmentation, and, in some cases, Hirschsprung disease. Type 4C specifically involves a combination of these symptoms along with issues in the development of the neural crest, which can affect the gastrointestinal system.

The SOX10 gene plays a crucial role in the development of neural crest cells, which contribute to the formation of melanocytes, structures in the ear, and the enteric nervous system. Mutations in this gene can disrupt these processes, leading to the symptoms observed in Waardenburg Syndrome Type 4C. Identifying mutations in the SOX10 gene through this genetic test can provide definitive diagnosis of WS4C, guide treatment options, and offer vital information for family planning.

The test is conducted at DNA Labs UAE, a facility known for its advanced genetic testing services. The cost of the SOX10 Gene Waardenburg Syndrome Type 4C Genetic Test is 4400 AED. This test is essential for individuals with a family history of Waardenburg Syndrome or those exhibiting symptoms associated with WS4C, as it offers a clear genetic basis for the condition, thereby facilitating targeted interventions and management strategies.
