FSHB Gene Follicle-stimulating hormone deficiency isolated Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the FSHB Gene Follicle-stimulating hormone deficiency isolated Genetic Test to diagnose and understand the underlying cause of infertility and delayed puberty in individuals. This test is crucial for reproductive disorders and is performed in our Genetics department.
Test Details
The FSHB gene, also known as follicle-stimulating hormone beta subunit, encodes the beta subunit of the follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). FSH is responsible for stimulating the growth and development of ovarian follicles in females and sperm production in males. A deficiency in the FSHB gene can lead to isolated follicle-stimulating hormone deficiency, resulting in low levels of FSH in the blood.
Method
We utilize NGS (next-generation sequencing) technology to perform this genetic test. NGS allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes, the entire exome, or genome. By sequencing the DNA sample obtained from the individual, we can identify any genetic variations or mutations in the FSHB gene that may be responsible for the deficiency.
Test Components and Price
The FSHB Gene Follicle-stimulating hormone deficiency isolated Genetic Test is priced at 4400.0 AED. The sample condition required for this test includes blood, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA Card.
Report Delivery
The report for this test will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks.
Test Type and Doctor
This test falls under the category of Reproductive Disorders and is recommended for individuals seeking consultation with a Gynecology specialist.
Pre Test Information
Prior to undergoing the FSHB Gene Follicle-stimulating hormone deficiency isolated Genetic 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 FSHB Gene Follicle-stimulating hormone deficiency.
Implications and Treatment
Identifying FSHB gene deficiency through this genetic test enables clinicians to determine the underlying cause of infertility or delayed puberty in individuals. This information is crucial in guiding treatment decisions, such as hormone replacement therapy, to address the hormonal imbalance caused by FSH deficiency.
Please note that genetic testing for FSHB gene deficiency should be performed in specialized laboratories or genetic clinics under the supervision of healthcare professionals. Genetic counseling is also recommended before and after testing to discuss the implications of the results and provide support to individuals and families.

| Test Details |
The FSHB gene, also known as follicle-stimulating hormone beta subunit, is responsible for encoding the beta subunit of the follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). FSH is a hormone that plays a crucial role in reproductive function by stimulating the growth and development of ovarian follicles in females and sperm production in males. A deficiency in FSHB gene can lead to isolated follicle-stimulating hormone deficiency, which is characterized by low levels of FSH in the blood. This condition can result in infertility and delayed puberty in both males and females. To diagnose FSHB gene deficiency, a genetic test called next-generation sequencing (NGS) can be performed. NGS is a high-throughput sequencing method that allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes or the entire exome or genome. It can detect variations or mutations in the FSHB gene that may be responsible for the deficiency. NGS genetic testing involves obtaining a DNA sample, typically through a blood or saliva sample, from the individual being tested. The DNA is then sequenced using NGS technology, and the resulting data is analyzed to identify any genetic variations or mutations in the FSHB gene. The identification of FSHB gene deficiency through NGS genetic testing can help clinicians determine the underlying cause of infertility or delayed puberty in individuals. This information can guide treatment decisions, such as hormone replacement therapy, to address the hormonal imbalance caused by FSH deficiency. It is important to note that genetic testing for FSHB gene deficiency is typically performed in specialized laboratories or genetic clinics under the supervision of healthcare professionals. Genetic counseling may also be recommended before and after testing to discuss the implications of the results and provide support to individuals and families. |
