The G6PD gene test, aimed at determining susceptibility to Favism, is a crucial genetic assessment available at DNA Labs UAE. Favism is a condition triggered by a deficiency in the enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), which is vital for red blood cell function. This deficiency can lead to hemolytic anemia, especially after consuming fava beans or certain drugs. The test specifically identifies mutations in the G6PD gene, helping to diagnose the deficiency and enabling individuals to take preventative measures against potential triggers.

Conducted at the state-of-the-art facilities of DNA Labs UAE, the test is priced at 4400 AED. It is a valuable tool for those with a family history of G6PD deficiency or individuals of ethnicities with higher prevalence rates, offering them an opportunity to understand their genetic risk and manage their health proactively.

G6PD Gene Favism susceptibility to Genetic Test

Introduction

G6PD gene favism is a condition characterized by a deficiency of the enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) in red blood cells. This deficiency can lead to severe hemolytic anemia triggered by the consumption of fava beans. Genetic testing using Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology can identify specific mutations or variations in the G6PD gene associated with favism susceptibility.

Pre Test Information

Clinical History of Patient who is going for G6PD Gene Favism susceptibility to NGS Genetic DNA Test. A Genetic Counselling session to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with G6PD Gene Favism, susceptibility to NGS Genetic DNA Test gene G6PD.

Test Details

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is a genetic testing method that allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes, including the G6PD gene. NGS can detect various genetic variations, such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and small insertions or deletions (indels). By analyzing the entire coding region of the G6PD gene, NGS provides comprehensive information about potential disease-causing variants.

Genetic testing for G6PD favism susceptibility using NGS can be beneficial for individuals with a family history of the condition or those who want to determine their risk of developing favism. It can also assist with genetic counseling and family planning decisions. However, it is essential to seek guidance from a healthcare professional or genetic counselor who can interpret the results and provide appropriate recommendations and support.

Test Details

G6PD gene favism is a condition characterized by a deficiency of the enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) in red blood cells. This enzyme plays a crucial role in protecting red blood cells from oxidative damage. Favism is named after the consumption of fava beans, which can trigger severe hemolytic anemia in individuals with G6PD deficiency.

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is a genetic testing method that allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes, including the G6PD gene. NGS is a high-throughput technique that can detect various genetic variations, including single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and small insertions or deletions (indels).

A genetic test for G6PD deficiency using NGS can identify specific mutations or variations in the G6PD gene that may be associated with favism susceptibility. By analyzing the entire coding region of the G6PD gene, NGS can provide comprehensive information about potential disease-causing variants.

NGS genetic testing for G6PD favism susceptibility can be beneficial for individuals with a family history of the condition or those who want to determine their risk of developing favism. It can also help with genetic counseling and family planning decisions.

It is important to note that genetic testing should be performed under the guidance of a healthcare professional or genetic counselor who can interpret the results and provide appropriate recommendations and support.
