Understanding the symptoms and underlying genetic causes of certain diseases is crucial for effective diagnosis and management. Among these, Cholestasis of benign recurrent intrahepatic type 2, caused by mutations in the ABCB11 gene, is a condition that requires particular attention. DNA Labs UAE offers a comprehensive genetic test for this condition, aimed at providing accurate […]
Cholestasis of pregnancy, also known as intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP), is a liver disorder that occurs in pregnant women. This condition can cause severe itching and increase the risk of fetal distress, preterm birth, and stillbirth. One of the genetic factors associated with this condition is mutations in the ABCB4 gene, which can lead […]
Cholestasis progressive intraheptic type 1, also known as Byler disease, is a rare genetic condition that affects the liver. It is caused by mutations in the ATP8B1 gene. This condition is characterized by impaired bile flow (cholestasis), which can lead to liver damage. Understanding the symptoms and undergoing genetic testing can be crucial for early […]
Cholestasis is a liver condition that slows or stops the flow of bile from the liver. Bile is essential for digesting fats and removing waste products from the body. When bile flow is impaired, it can cause a buildup of bile acids in the liver, leading to liver damage. One specific form of this condition, […]
The ABCB4 gene plays a crucial role in the body, particularly in the liver. It is responsible for producing a protein that helps move bile acids out of liver cells. When there is a mutation in this gene, it can lead to a condition known as progressive intrahepatic cholestasis type 3. This condition is characterized […]
Cholestasis is a condition characterized by the reduction or stoppage of bile flow from the liver to the duodenum. Among its various types, Benign Recurrent Intrahepatic Cholestasis (BRIC) associated with the ATP8B1 gene is a rare genetic disorder. This condition can lead to significant discomfort and health issues for those affected. DNA Labs UAE offers […]
In the complex and ever-evolving field of genetics, understanding the intricate details of specific conditions can be a gateway to tailored healthcare and improved outcomes. Among these conditions, intraheptic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) stands out due to its potential impact on pregnant individuals and their unborn children. The ATP8B1 gene cholestasis intrahepatic of pregnancy type […]
Cholesteryl ester storage disease (CESD) is a rare genetic disorder that affects the body’s ability to break down cholesterol and triglycerides. This condition is caused by mutations in the LIPA gene, which plays a crucial role in the lysosomal degradation of lipids. Individuals with CESD accumulate large amounts of cholesteryl esters and triglycerides in various […]
Chylomicron retention disease, also known as Anderson’s disease or Hypobetalipoproteinemia Type 1, is a rare genetic disorder that affects the body’s ability to absorb fats and certain vitamins from the diet. This condition is caused by mutations in the SAR1B gene, which plays a crucial role in the assembly and secretion of chylomicrons, particles that […]
Branched-chain ketoacid dehydrogenase kinase (BCKDK) deficiency is a rare genetic disorder that impacts the body’s ability to properly process certain amino acids found in proteins. This condition can lead to a range of symptoms, varying in severity from mild to severe, and can affect individuals differently. Understanding the symptoms and the availability of genetic testing […]
