CFB Gene Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the CFB Gene Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome Genetic Test for individuals suspected of having hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). This test utilizes next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology to analyze the CFB gene for mutations associated with HUS.
Test Details
Hemolytic uremic syndrome is a rare condition characterized by the destruction of red blood cells, kidney failure, and low platelet count. The CFB gene encodes the complement factor B protein, which plays a crucial role in the complement system – a part of the immune system responsible for clearing pathogens and damaged cells from the body.
Mutations in the CFB gene can disrupt the normal functioning of the complement system, leading to the development of HUS. Our NGS genetic test involves sequencing the entire coding region of the CFB gene to identify any variations or mutations that may be present.
Components and Price
The CFB Gene Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome Genetic Test is priced at 4400.0 AED. We accept blood samples, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card as sample conditions.
Report Delivery and Method
You can expect to receive your test results within 3 to 4 weeks. Our test utilizes NGS technology, which allows for accurate and comprehensive analysis of the CFB gene.
Test Type and Doctor
The CFB Gene Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome Genetic Test falls under the category of Hepatology, Nephrology, and Endocrinology Disorders. It is recommended to consult with a general physician before undergoing this test.
Test Department and Pre-Test Information
This test is conducted in our Genetics department. Before undergoing the CFB Gene Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome Genetic Test, it is important to provide a clinical history of the patient and participate in a genetic counseling session. This session helps in drawing a pedigree chart of family members affected by the CFB gene and hemolytic uremic syndrome.
Benefits and Implications
Genetic testing for hemolytic uremic syndrome can provide valuable information for confirming a clinical diagnosis, determining disease prognosis, and guiding treatment decisions. It can also identify at-risk family members who may benefit from early intervention or genetic counseling.
It is crucial to note that genetic testing for hemolytic uremic syndrome should be performed in specialized genetic laboratories and ordered and interpreted by healthcare professionals with expertise in genetics. We strongly advise discussing the test results with a genetic counselor or medical geneticist to fully understand the implications and potential impact on medical management.

The NGS genetic test for CFB gene mutations involves sequencing the entire coding region of the gene to identify any variations or mutations that may be present. This test can help in diagnosing individuals with HUS and determining the underlying genetic cause of the condition. Genetic testing for hemolytic uremic syndrome can be useful for confirming a clinical diagnosis, providing information on disease prognosis, and guiding treatment decisions. It can also help in identifying at-risk family members who may benefit from early intervention or genetic counseling. It is important to note that genetic testing for hemolytic uremic syndrome is typically performed in specialized genetic laboratories and should be ordered and interpreted by healthcare professionals with expertise in genetics.
