SLC2A9 Gene Hypouricemia renal type 2 Genetic Test
Are you experiencing abnormally low levels of uric acid in your blood? It could be a result of a condition called hypouricemia, renal type 2. At DNA Labs UAE, we offer a comprehensive genetic test to diagnose this condition and provide personalized treatment options.
Test Details
The SLC2A9 gene is responsible for encoding a protein called glucose transporter 9 (GLUT9), primarily found in the kidneys. This protein plays a crucial role in uric acid transport. Mutations in the SLC2A9 gene can lead to hypouricemia, renal type 2.
Hypouricemia is characterized by abnormally low levels of uric acid in the blood. In renal type 2 hypouricemia, the kidneys are unable to reabsorb uric acid properly, resulting in increased excretion of uric acid in the urine and low levels in the blood.
To diagnose hypouricemia, renal type 2, we utilize NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology. NGS genetic testing allows us to analyze multiple genes simultaneously, providing a comprehensive evaluation of the SLC2A9 gene.
Test Components and Price
Our SLC2A9 Gene Hypouricemia renal type 2 Genetic Test is priced at 4400.0 AED. The test requires a blood sample, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card.
Report Delivery
Once the sample is collected, the report will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks.
Test Type and Doctor
The SLC2A9 Gene Hypouricemia renal type 2 Genetic Test falls under the category of Hepatology, Nephrology, and Endocrinology Disorders. It is recommended to consult with a General Physician for this test.
Test Department and Pre Test Information
Our Genetics department is responsible for conducting the SLC2A9 Gene Hypouricemia renal type 2 Genetic Test. Before the test, it is essential to provide the clinical history of the patient. Additionally, a Genetic Counselling session will be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by SLC2A9 Gene Hypouricemia, renal type 2 NGS Genetic DNA Test gene SLC2A9.
Personalized Treatment and Management
By identifying specific mutations in the SLC2A9 gene through NGS genetic testing, we can accurately diagnose hypouricemia, renal type 2. This information is crucial for developing personalized treatment plans and managing the condition effectively.
Furthermore, the test results can be utilized for genetic counseling and identifying family members who may be at risk of developing hypouricemia, renal type 2.
Don’t wait any longer to address your abnormally low levels of uric acid. Contact DNA Labs UAE today to schedule your SLC2A9 Gene Hypouricemia renal type 2 Genetic Test!

Test Details |
The SLC2A9 gene is responsible for encoding a protein called glucose transporter 9 (GLUT9), which is primarily expressed in the kidneys and plays a role in uric acid transport. Mutations in the SLC2A9 gene can lead to a condition called hypouricemia, renal type 2. Hypouricemia is a condition characterized by abnormally low levels of uric acid in the blood. In renal type 2 hypouricemia, the kidneys are unable to reabsorb uric acid properly, leading to increased excretion of uric acid in the urine and low levels in the blood. NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a type of genetic testing that uses high-throughput sequencing technologies to analyze multiple genes simultaneously. In the context of hypouricemia, NGS genetic testing can be used to identify mutations in the SLC2A9 gene that may be responsible for the condition. By identifying specific mutations in the SLC2A9 gene, NGS genetic testing can help diagnose hypouricemia, renal type 2 and provide valuable information for personalized treatment and management of the condition. It can also be used for genetic counseling and to identify family members who may be at risk of developing the condition. |
