The A2M Gene Alpha-2-Macroglobulin Deficiency Genetic Test is a specialized diagnostic procedure designed to detect mutations in the A2M gene, which can lead to Alpha-2-Macroglobulin (A2M) deficiency. This condition is characterized by a lack of A2M, a vital plasma protein that plays a crucial role in the body’s immune response and in protecting tissues from enzymes that could damage them. Identifying mutations in the A2M gene is essential for understanding the risk of developing related conditions, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), liver cirrhosis, and certain types of cancer.

Conducted at DNA Labs UAE, a leading facility in genetic testing, this test offers individuals the opportunity to gain insights into their genetic makeup, particularly concerning the A2M gene. The test is performed using a blood sample, from which DNA is extracted and analyzed for any abnormalities in the A2M gene.

The cost of the A2M Gene Alpha-2-Macroglobulin Deficiency Genetic Test is 4400 AED. This price reflects the comprehensive nature of the test, including the advanced technology and expertise required to accurately identify mutations in the A2M gene. For individuals with a family history of conditions associated with A2M deficiency or those experiencing symptoms related to these conditions, this test provides a valuable tool for early detection and management, potentially improving health outcomes and quality of life.

Pre Test Information

Prior to undergoing the A2M Gene Alpha-2-macroglobulin deficiency 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 Alpha-2-macroglobulin deficiency.

Test Details

The A2M gene is responsible for producing a protein called alpha-2-macroglobulin, which plays a crucial role in the immune system and inflammation regulation. Mutations in the A2M gene can result in a deficiency of this protein, known as alpha-2-macroglobulin deficiency.

To diagnose alpha-2-macroglobulin deficiency, we utilize Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology. NGS allows for the simultaneous sequencing of multiple genes or even the entire genome. In the case of alpha-2-macroglobulin deficiency, the NGS test focuses on sequencing the A2M gene to identify any mutations or genetic variants.

The A2M Gene Alpha-2-macroglobulin deficiency Genetic Test can help determine if a person has a genetic predisposition to this condition. It can also be used for carrier testing to identify individuals who carry a single copy of the mutated gene but do not exhibit any symptoms themselves.

Understanding the results of genetic testing is crucial for family planning and genetic counseling purposes. It is important to note that the presence of a mutation in the A2M gene does not necessarily mean a person will develop alpha-2-macroglobulin deficiency. The severity and manifestation of the condition can vary depending on the specific mutation and other genetic and environmental factors.

If you have any questions or require further information, please consult a healthcare professional or genetic counselor who can provide guidance and explain the implications of genetic testing results.

To diagnose alpha-2-macroglobulin deficiency, a Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) genetic test can be performed. NGS is a high-throughput sequencing technology that allows for the simultaneous sequencing of multiple genes or even the entire genome. In the case of alpha-2-macroglobulin deficiency, the NGS test would focus on sequencing the A2M gene to identify any mutations or genetic variants that may be present.

NGS genetic testing for alpha-2-macroglobulin deficiency can help determine if a person has a genetic predisposition to this condition. It can also be used for carrier testing to identify individuals who carry a single copy of the mutated gene but do not show any symptoms themselves.
