KIT Gene Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor Familial Genetic Test
Test Name: KIT Gene Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor Familial Genetic Test
Components: Blood or Extracted DNA or One drop Blood on FTA Card
Price: 4400.0 AED
Report Delivery: 3 to 4 Weeks
Method: NGS Technology
Test Type: Cancer
Doctor: Oncologist
Test Department: Genetics
Pre Test Information: Clinical History of Patient who is going for KIT Gene Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor, Familial NGS Genetic DNA Test. A Genetic Counselling session to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with KIT Gene Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor, Familial NGS Genetic DNA Test gene KIT.
Test Details: The KIT gene is a gene that codes for a protein called KIT receptor tyrosine kinase. Mutations in this gene have been associated with the development of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), which are a type of cancer that typically occurs in the stomach or small intestine. Familial NGS genetic testing refers to Next-Generation Sequencing testing that is specifically designed to identify genetic mutations associated with a particular condition in families. In the case of KIT gene GISTs, familial NGS genetic testing would involve sequencing the KIT gene in individuals with a family history of GISTs to identify any mutations that may be present.
This type of genetic testing can be helpful in identifying individuals who may be at an increased risk of developing GISTs due to an inherited mutation in the KIT gene. It can also be useful in providing information for family members who may be at risk of developing GISTs and may benefit from early screening or other preventive measures. It’s important to note that genetic testing for familial GISTs is typically only recommended for individuals with a strong family history of GISTs or other related cancers. The decision to undergo genetic testing should be made in consultation with a healthcare professional who can provide guidance and information about the benefits, limitations, and implications of the testing.
