MSX1 Gene Witkop Syndrome Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the MSX1 Gene Witkop Syndrome Genetic Test. This test is designed to analyze the MSX1 gene for any mutations or variants that may be associated with Witkop syndrome, also known as tooth and nail syndrome.
Test Details
Witkop syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by abnormalities in tooth and nail development. Our NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology allows us to analyze multiple genes simultaneously, providing a comprehensive analysis of the MSX1 gene.
Components and Price
The cost of the MSX1 Gene Witkop Syndrome Genetic Test is 4400.0 AED. The test can be conducted using a blood sample, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA Card.
Report Delivery
Once the sample is received, the report will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks.
Method
We use NGS technology for this test, which involves sequencing the DNA obtained from the sample to identify any genetic variations.
Test Type and Doctor
The MSX1 Gene Witkop Syndrome Genetic Test falls under the category of Dysmorphology. It is recommended to consult a pediatrician for this test.
Test Department
This test is conducted in our Genetics department, where our experienced professionals ensure accurate and reliable results.
Pre Test Information
Before undergoing the MSX1 Gene Witkop Syndrome Genetic 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 Witkop syndrome.
Benefits of Genetic Testing for Witkop Syndrome
Genetic testing for Witkop syndrome can be highly beneficial in various ways:
- Confirmation of diagnosis
- Identification of the specific genetic cause of the condition
- Guidance for treatment and management options
- Information about the risk of having a child with Witkop syndrome for family members
It is important to note that genetic testing for Witkop syndrome, including NGS, should always be done under the guidance of a healthcare professional or genetic counselor who can provide appropriate counseling and interpretation of the results.

| Test Details |
The MSX1 gene is associated with a condition called Witkop syndrome, also known as tooth and nail syndrome. Witkop syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by abnormalities in tooth and nail development. NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) is a type of genetic testing that allows for the analysis of multiple genes simultaneously. In the context of Witkop syndrome, NGS can be used to analyze the MSX1 gene for any mutations or variants that may be contributing to the condition. NGS testing involves obtaining a DNA sample, typically through a blood or saliva sample, and sequencing the DNA to identify any genetic variations. By analyzing the MSX1 gene using NGS, healthcare professionals can determine if there are any mutations or variants present that may be associated with Witkop syndrome. Genetic testing for Witkop syndrome can be useful in confirming a diagnosis, providing information about the specific genetic cause of the condition, and helping to guide treatment and management options. It can also be beneficial for family members of individuals with Witkop syndrome, as it can provide information about their risk of having a child with the condition. It is important to note that genetic testing for Witkop syndrome, including NGS, should be done under the guidance of a healthcare professional or genetic counselor who can provide appropriate counseling and interpretation of the results. |
