VWF Gene von Willebrand disease Genetic Test
Test Name: VWF Gene von Willebrand disease Genetic Test
Components: DNA Labs UAE offers the VWF Gene von Willebrand disease Genetic Test for a price of 4400.0 AED.
Sample Condition: The test can be performed using blood, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card.
Report Delivery: The test results will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks.
Method: The VWF Gene von Willebrand disease Genetic Test utilizes NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology.
Test Type: The test falls under the category of Hematology.
Doctor: The test is conducted by a Hematologist.
Test Department: The test is performed in the Genetics department.
Pre Test Information: Before undergoing the VWF Gene von Willebrand disease Genetic Test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient. Additionally, a Genetic Counselling session may be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by VWF Gene von Willebrand disease.
Test Details: The VWF gene is associated with von Willebrand disease (VWD), a bleeding disorder caused by a deficiency or dysfunction of von Willebrand factor (VWF). VWF is essential for blood clotting as it helps platelets adhere to the site of injury and promotes clot formation. NGS technology allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes, including the VWF gene. By sequencing the VWF gene, NGS genetic testing can identify genetic variations or mutations responsible for VWD. This testing aids in the diagnosis, classification, and management of VWD subtypes, as different mutations can result in varying clinical presentations and severities of the disease. It also provides valuable information for genetic counseling, family planning, personalized treatment strategies, and predicting the risk of bleeding complications. Overall, NGS genetic testing for VWF gene mutations is an important tool in understanding and managing von Willebrand disease.

| Test Details |
The VWF gene is associated with von Willebrand disease (VWD), which is a bleeding disorder characterized by a deficiency or dysfunction of von Willebrand factor (VWF). VWF plays a crucial role in blood clotting by helping platelets adhere to the site of injury and promoting the stability of clot formation. NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) is a high-throughput DNA sequencing technology that allows for the analysis of multiple genes simultaneously. In the context of VWD, NGS genetic testing involves sequencing the VWF gene to identify any genetic variations or mutations that may be responsible for the disease. NGS genetic testing for VWD can help in the diagnosis and classification of VWD subtypes, as different mutations in the VWF gene can result in different clinical presentations and severities of the disease. It can also provide valuable information for genetic counseling and family planning. By identifying the specific genetic variant causing VWD in an individual, NGS testing can help guide personalized treatment strategies and management plans. It can also aid in predicting the risk of bleeding complications and inform decisions regarding surgical procedures or other medical interventions. Overall, NGS genetic testing for VWF gene mutations is an important tool in the diagnosis, classification, and management of von Willebrand disease. |
