SCNN1B Gene Liddle Syndrome Genetic Test
Introduction
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the SCNN1B Gene Liddle Syndrome Genetic Test, which is designed to identify mutations or variations in the SCNN1B gene associated with Liddle syndrome. Liddle syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant disorder that affects the kidneys and causes early-onset hypertension (high blood pressure).
Test Components and Price
The SCNN1B Gene Liddle Syndrome Genetic Test is priced at 4400.0 AED. The test can be performed on blood samples, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card.
Report Delivery
Once the sample is received, the report will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks.
Method and Test Type
The SCNN1B Gene Liddle Syndrome Genetic Test utilizes NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology. NGS genetic testing allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes to identify mutations or variations associated with Liddle syndrome. The test falls under the categories of Hepatology, Nephrology, and Endocrinology Disorders.
Referring Doctor and Test Department
The SCNN1B Gene Liddle Syndrome Genetic Test is recommended by General Physicians. The test is conducted in our Genetics department.
Pre Test Information
Before undergoing the SCNN1B Gene Liddle Syndrome Genetic Test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient. Additionally, a genetic counseling session may be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by Liddle syndrome.
Test Details
The SCNN1B gene is associated with Liddle syndrome, a rare genetic disorder characterized by excessive reabsorption of sodium in the kidneys. This leads to increased sodium levels in the body and fluid retention, resulting in early-onset hypertension. NGS genetic testing can analyze the SCNN1B gene for mutations or variations that may be responsible for the disorder. The test provides valuable information for diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment decisions. It can help confirm the diagnosis, identify affected family members, and guide appropriate management strategies, such as targeted drug therapies.
Conclusion
If you suspect you or a family member may have Liddle syndrome or any other genetic disorder, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional or genetic counselor. They can provide a comprehensive evaluation, proper diagnosis, and recommend appropriate genetic testing options.

| Test Details |
The SCNN1B gene is associated with a rare genetic disorder called Liddle syndrome. Liddle syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder that affects the kidneys and causes hypertension (high blood pressure) at an early age. It is characterized by excessive reabsorption of sodium in the kidneys, leading to increased sodium levels in the body and fluid retention. NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a type of genetic testing that can analyze multiple genes simultaneously to identify mutations or variations that may be associated with a particular disorder. In the case of Liddle syndrome, NGS genetic testing can be used to analyze the SCNN1B gene for mutations or variations that may be responsible for the disorder. NGS genetic testing can provide valuable information for diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment decisions for individuals suspected of having Liddle syndrome. It can help confirm the diagnosis, identify affected family members, and guide appropriate management strategies, such as targeted drug therapies. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional or genetic counselor for a comprehensive evaluation, proper diagnosis, and appropriate genetic testing options for Liddle syndrome or any other genetic disorder. |
