CFH Gene Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the CFH Gene Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome Genetic Test at a cost of AED 4400.0. This test is used to diagnose and identify genetic mutations associated with hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), a rare condition characterized by the destruction of red blood cells, kidney failure, and low platelet count.
Test Components and Sample Condition
The CFH Gene Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome Genetic Test requires either blood, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card as a sample condition.
Report Delivery and Method
The test results will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks using NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology.
Test Type and Test Department
This test falls under the categories of Hepatology, Nephrology, and Endocrinology Disorders. It is performed in our Genetics department.
Referring Doctor
The CFH Gene Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome Genetic Test can be requested by a General Physician.
Pre Test Information
Prior to the test, it is essential to provide the clinical history of the patient who is undergoing the CFH Gene Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome Genetic Test. Additionally, a Genetic Counselling session is recommended to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by CFH Gene Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome.
Test Details
The CFH gene, also known as complement factor H gene, is associated with a genetic predisposition to atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS). Mutations in this gene can disrupt the regulation of the complement system, which plays a role in the immune response and inflammation. Dysregulation of the complement system can lead to the destruction of red blood cells and the development of HUS.
NGS genetic testing, utilizing advanced sequencing technologies, can analyze multiple genes simultaneously. In the case of hemolytic uremic syndrome, NGS genetic testing can identify mutations in the CFH gene and other genes linked to aHUS. This information aids in the diagnosis and management of individuals suspected of having a genetic predisposition to HUS.
By identifying specific genetic mutations, NGS genetic testing provides crucial information for healthcare professionals to better comprehend the underlying cause of hemolytic uremic syndrome. This information guides treatment decisions, predicts the risk of recurrence, and allows for genetic counseling for affected individuals and their families.

Test Details |
Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is a rare condition characterized by the destruction of red blood cells, kidney failure, and low platelet count. It is usually caused by an infection, most commonly by certain strains of E. coli bacteria. The CFH gene, also known as complement factor H gene, is associated with a genetic predisposition to atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS). Mutations in this gene can disrupt the regulation of the complement system, which is involved in the immune response and inflammation. Dysregulation of the complement system can lead to the destruction of red blood cells and the development of HUS. NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a type of genetic test that uses advanced sequencing technologies to analyze multiple genes simultaneously. In the context of hemolytic uremic syndrome, NGS genetic testing can be used to identify mutations in the CFH gene and other genes associated with aHUS. This information can help in the diagnosis and management of individuals with a suspected genetic predisposition to HUS. By identifying specific genetic mutations, NGS genetic testing can provide important information for healthcare professionals to better understand the underlying cause of hemolytic uremic syndrome in an individual. This information can help guide treatment decisions, predict the risk of recurrence, and provide genetic counseling for affected individuals and their families. |
