SHOX Gene Short Stature Syndrome Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the SHOX Gene Short Stature Syndrome Genetic Test at a cost of AED 4400.0. This test is used to diagnose and identify the genetic causes of short stature syndrome.
Test Details
The SHOX gene, also known as the short stature homeobox-containing gene, is responsible for regulating skeletal growth. Mutations in this gene can lead to a condition called SHOX gene short stature syndrome, which is characterized by short stature and skeletal abnormalities.
Our SHOX gene short stature syndrome NGS genetic test uses NGS technology, or next-generation sequencing, to analyze the SHOX gene and identify any mutations or variants that may be present. This allows for the rapid and efficient sequencing of large amounts of DNA.
To perform the test, we collect a sample of DNA from the individual being tested. This can be done through a blood or saliva sample, or by using one drop of blood on an FTA card. The collected DNA is then sequenced using NGS technology to identify any variations or mutations in the SHOX gene.
The test results, which are typically delivered within 3 to 4 weeks, can help diagnose SHOX gene short stature syndrome and provide information about the specific genetic changes that may be causing the condition. This information is valuable for genetic counseling, treatment planning, and management of the condition.
It’s important to note that a positive result on the genetic test does not necessarily mean that an individual will have symptoms of the condition. The severity and presentation of SHOX gene short stature syndrome can vary widely among affected individuals. Therefore, the test results should be interpreted in conjunction with other clinical findings and a thorough medical evaluation.
Pre Test Information
Prior to undergoing the SHOX gene short stature syndrome NGS genetic test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient. This includes any relevant information about the patient’s symptoms and family history of SHOX gene short stature syndrome. A genetic counseling session may also be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by the condition.
Test Components and Price
The SHOX Gene Short Stature Syndrome Genetic Test is priced at AED 4400.0. This cost includes the analysis of the SHOX gene using NGS technology.
Test Type and Doctor
The SHOX Gene Short Stature Syndrome Genetic Test falls under the category of Dysmorphology tests and is typically ordered by pediatricians who specialize in genetics.
Test Department
The SHOX Gene Short Stature Syndrome Genetic Test is performed in our Genetics department at DNA Labs UAE.
Sample Condition and Report Delivery
The SHOX Gene Short Stature Syndrome Genetic Test requires a sample of either blood or extracted DNA. Alternatively, one drop of blood can be collected on an FTA card. The test results are typically delivered within 3 to 4 weeks.
