The ABCC9 gene plays a crucial role in our body by influencing the activity of ATP-sensitive potassium channels, which are integral in various physiological processes including muscle contraction and insulin release. Mutations in the ABCC9 gene are associated with Cantu Syndrome, a rare genetic condition characterized by excessive hair growth, distinctive facial features, heart defects, and other physical abnormalities.

This test is crucial for individuals showing symptoms of the syndrome or for families with a history of the condition, as it provides definitive confirmation of the diagnosis. The process involves collecting a DNA sample, usually through a blood draw or a cheek swab, which is then analyzed for mutations in the ABCC9 gene.

The cost of the ABCC9 gene Cantu Syndrome genetic test at DNA Labs UAE is 4400 AED. Although the price might seem steep, the test offers invaluable information for affected individuals and their families, including insights into the condition’s management, treatment options, and the risk of passing the syndrome to future generations.
