FAT4 Gene Hennekam lymphangiectasia-lymphedema syndrome type 2 Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the FAT4 Gene Hennekam lymphangiectasia-lymphedema syndrome type 2 Genetic Test at a cost of AED 4400.0. This test is used to diagnose individuals suspected of having Hennekam lymphangiectasia-lymphedema syndrome type 2 (HLS2).
Test Details
HLS2 is a rare genetic disorder characterized by abnormalities in the lymphatic system, resulting in lymphangiectasia (dilation of lymphatic vessels) and lymphedema (swelling due to fluid buildup). The FAT4 gene is associated with this syndrome.
Our test utilizes Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, which allows for the analysis of multiple genes simultaneously. By analyzing the FAT4 gene, we can identify any mutations or variations that may be responsible for the development of HLS2.
Obtaining a definitive diagnosis through NGS genetic testing is crucial for the proper management and treatment of HLS2. It also provides valuable information for genetic counseling and family planning decisions for individuals with HLS2 or those at risk of passing on the syndrome to their children.
Test Components and Price
The FAT4 Gene Hennekam lymphangiectasia-lymphedema syndrome type 2 Genetic Test costs AED 4400.0. The sample required for testing can be either blood, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA Card.
Report Delivery and Method
Once the sample is received, the report will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks. The test is performed using NGS technology.
Doctor and Test Department
The FAT4 Gene Hennekam lymphangiectasia-lymphedema syndrome type 2 Genetic Test is conducted under the supervision of a pediatrician in the Genetics department.
Pre Test Information
Before undergoing the FAT4 Gene Hennekam lymphangiectasia-lymphedema syndrome type 2 NGS Genetic DNA Test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient. Additionally, a genetic counseling session will be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by the syndrome.
By offering this comprehensive genetic test, DNA Labs UAE aims to provide accurate diagnoses and facilitate appropriate management and treatment plans for individuals with HLS2.

The FAT4 gene is associated with Hennekam lymphangiectasia-lymphedema syndrome type 2 (HLS2). This syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by abnormalities in the lymphatic system, leading to lymphangiectasia (dilation of lymphatic vessels) and lymphedema (swelling due to fluid buildup). NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) is a genetic testing method that can analyze multiple genes simultaneously. In the context of HLS2, NGS genetic testing can be used to identify mutations or variations in the FAT4 gene that may be responsible for the development of the syndrome. By performing an NGS genetic test for FAT4 gene mutations, healthcare professionals can provide a definitive diagnosis for individuals suspected of having HLS2. This information is crucial for proper management and treatment of the condition. Additionally, genetic testing can also help in genetic counseling and family planning decisions for individuals with HLS2 or those at risk of passing on the syndrome to their children. |
