IGF1 Gene Growth Retardation with Deafness and Mental Retardation Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the IGF1 Gene Growth Retardation with Deafness and Mental Retardation Genetic Test. This test is designed to diagnose individuals who may be experiencing growth retardation, deafness, and mental retardation due to IGF1 deficiency. By analyzing the IGF1 gene using NGS technology, we can identify any mutations or variations that may be causing the condition.
Test Components and Price
The IGF1 Gene Growth Retardation with Deafness and Mental Retardation Genetic Test is priced at 4400.0 AED. The test requires a blood sample, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card. The report will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks.
Symptoms and Diagnosis
Individuals with IGF1 deficiency may experience symptoms such as growth retardation, deafness, and mental retardation. To diagnose this condition, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient. A genetic counseling session may also be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by IGF1 deficiency.
NGS Technology and Test Type
NGS technology, also known as Next-Generation Sequencing, is used to analyze multiple genes simultaneously. In the case of IGF1 deficiency, NGS genetic testing can identify any mutations or variations in the IGF1 gene. This method allows for a comprehensive analysis that can aid in diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment options.
Doctor and Test Department
The IGF1 Gene Growth Retardation with Deafness and Mental Retardation Genetic Test is conducted by our experienced pediatric geneticists. The test falls under the Genetics department.
Pre Test Information
Before undergoing the IGF1 Gene Growth Retardation with Deafness and Mental Retardation Genetic Test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient. This information will help in interpreting the test results accurately. Additionally, a genetic counseling session may be conducted to gather information about family members affected by IGF1 deficiency.
Importance of Genetic Testing
Genetic testing is crucial in identifying the specific genetic alterations causing IGF1 deficiency. It can assist in diagnosis, prognosis, and potentially guide treatment options. Additionally, genetic testing can provide valuable information for genetic counseling and family planning, allowing individuals to determine the risk of passing on the condition to future generations.
It is important to note that genetic testing should be performed and interpreted by qualified geneticists or genetic counselors. They can provide detailed information about the specific genetic variant and its implications. It is also best to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the most appropriate course of action, as genetic testing may not be available or necessary in all cases.

| Test Details |
The IGF1 gene is responsible for producing insulin-like growth factor 1, which plays a crucial role in growth and development. Mutations or deficiencies in this gene can lead to various disorders, including growth retardation, deafness, and mental retardation. NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a method used to analyze multiple genes simultaneously to identify genetic variations or mutations. In the case of IGF1 deficiency, NGS genetic testing can be used to identify any mutations or variations in the IGF1 gene that may be causing the condition. By identifying the specific genetic alteration causing IGF1 deficiency, NGS genetic testing can help with diagnosis, prognosis, and potentially guide treatment options. It can also help in genetic counseling and family planning by determining the risk of passing on the condition to future generations. It is important to note that genetic testing should be performed and interpreted by a qualified geneticist or genetic counselor, as they can provide detailed information about the specific genetic variant and its implications. Additionally, genetic testing may not be available or necessary in all cases, so it is best to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the most appropriate course of action. |
