BTK Gene Agammaglobulinemia and Isolated Hormone Deficiency Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the BTK Gene Agammaglobulinemia and Isolated Hormone Deficiency Genetic Test. This test is designed to analyze the BTK gene and identify any mutations or variations that may be present. The test can help in the diagnosis, prognosis, and personalized management of patients with BTK gene agammaglobulinemia and isolated hormone deficiency.
Test Details
The BTK gene is responsible for producing a protein called Bruton’s tyrosine kinase, which is essential for the development and function of B-cells in the immune system. Mutations in the BTK gene can lead to a condition called X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA), also known as agammaglobulinemia. XLA is a primary immunodeficiency disorder characterized by a lack of mature B-cells and a significant reduction in the production of immunoglobulins (antibodies). This deficiency makes individuals with XLA highly susceptible to recurrent bacterial infections, particularly in the respiratory tract.
Isolated hormone deficiency refers to a condition in which there is a specific deficiency in one or more hormones, such as growth hormone, thyroid-stimulating hormone, or gonadotropins. These deficiencies can lead to various health issues, depending on the specific hormone affected.
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is a genetic testing method that allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes or even the entire genome. In the context of BTK gene agammaglobulinemia and isolated hormone deficiency, NGS genetic testing can be used to identify mutations or variations in the BTK gene and other genes associated with hormone production and regulation. By analyzing the DNA sequence, NGS can provide valuable information about the presence of genetic variants that may contribute to these conditions.
Test Components and Cost
The BTK Gene Agammaglobulinemia and Isolated Hormone Deficiency Genetic Test is priced at 4400.0 AED. The test requires a sample of blood or extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA Card. The report will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks. The test is conducted using NGS technology and falls under the category of hematology. It is performed by a hematologist in the Genetics department.
Pre Test Information
Before undergoing the BTK Gene Agammaglobulinemia and Isolated Hormone Deficiency 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 BTK Gene Agammaglobulinemia and isolated hormone deficiency. This information will help in the interpretation of the test results and provide a comprehensive understanding of the genetic factors involved.
If you suspect that you or a family member may have BTK Gene Agammaglobulinemia and Isolated Hormone Deficiency, we recommend scheduling an appointment with our genetic specialists at DNA Labs UAE. Our team will guide you through the testing process and provide personalized recommendations based on the results.
