MSH2 Gene Colorectal Cancer Hereditary Nonpolyposis Type 1 Genetic Test
Are you concerned about your risk of developing colorectal cancer? The MSH2 Gene Colorectal Cancer Hereditary Nonpolyposis Type 1 Genetic Test offered by DNA Labs UAE can provide valuable insights. Let’s explore the details of this test.
Test Components and Price
The MSH2 Gene Colorectal Cancer Hereditary Nonpolyposis Type 1 Genetic Test is priced at AED 4400.0. The test requires either a blood sample, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card.
Report Delivery
You can expect to receive your test report within 3 to 4 weeks after the sample is submitted.
Method and Test Type
The MSH2 Gene Colorectal Cancer Hereditary Nonpolyposis Type 1 Genetic Test utilizes NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology. This advanced testing method allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes, including the MSH2 gene. The test specifically focuses on identifying mutations or variations in the MSH2 gene that may be associated with an increased risk of developing colorectal cancer or other cancers related to HNPCC (hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer).
Doctor and Test Department
The MSH2 Gene Colorectal Cancer Hereditary Nonpolyposis Type 1 Genetic Test is conducted under the supervision of an oncologist. The test is performed in the Genetics department of DNA Labs UAE.
Pre Test Information
Prior to undergoing the MSH2 Gene Colorectal Cancer Hereditary Nonpolyposis Type 1 Genetic Test, it is essential 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 MSH2 Gene Colorectal Cancer, hereditary nonpolyposis type 1 NGS Genetic DNA Test gene MSH2.
Test Details
The MSH2 gene is associated with hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC), also known as Lynch syndrome. HNPCC is an inherited condition that increases the risk of developing colorectal cancer and other types of cancer, such as endometrial, ovarian, gastric, urinary tract, and small bowel cancer.
NGS genetic testing, which analyzes multiple genes simultaneously, including the MSH2 gene, can help identify mutations or variations in the MSH2 gene that may increase the risk of developing colorectal cancer or other HNPCC-related cancers.
By identifying individuals at higher risk, NGS genetic testing can guide medical management, including increased surveillance and screening for early detection and prevention of cancer.
It is crucial to note that NGS genetic testing should be performed by qualified healthcare professionals, such as genetic counselors or medical geneticists, who can interpret the results and provide appropriate recommendations based on the individual’s personal and family history.

Test Details |
The MSH2 gene is one of several genes associated with hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC), also known as Lynch syndrome. HNPCC is an inherited condition that increases the risk of developing colorectal cancer and other types of cancer, including endometrial, ovarian, gastric, urinary tract, and small bowel cancer. NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a type of genetic testing that allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes, including the MSH2 gene. This testing method can identify mutations or variations in the MSH2 gene that may be associated with an increased risk of developing colorectal cancer or other cancers related to HNPCC. NGS genetic testing for the MSH2 gene and other genes associated with HNPCC can be helpful in identifying individuals who are at a higher risk of developing certain types of cancer. This information can be used to guide medical management, such as increased surveillance and screening for early detection and prevention of cancer. It is important to note that NGS genetic testing should be performed by a qualified healthcare professional, such as a genetic counselor or medical geneticist, who can interpret the results and provide appropriate recommendations based on the individual’s personal and family history. |
