The Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) Genotype Test is a crucial diagnostic tool offered by DNA Labs UAE, designed to identify the specific genotype of the hepatitis B virus present in an individual’s blood. This test is essential for guiding the treatment plan and predicting the course of the infection, as different genotypes can affect the severity of the disease, response to treatment, and the likelihood of developing liver complications such as cirrhosis or liver cancer.

Priced at 2100 AED, the HBV Genotype Test involves analyzing the patient’s blood sample to detect the genetic material of the virus. By determining the genotype, healthcare providers can tailor treatment strategies more effectively, potentially improving patient outcomes. This test is recommended for individuals diagnosed with hepatitis B, especially those about to commence antiviral therapy, as it provides critical information that can influence the choice of medication and treatment duration.

DNA Labs UAE is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and employs advanced technologies to ensure accurate and reliable test results. The lab’s commitment to providing high-quality diagnostic services makes it a trusted choice for patients and healthcare professionals alike seeking comprehensive hepatitis B virus testing and analysis.

Hepatitis B Virus HBV Genotype Test

At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the Hepatitis B Virus HBV Genotype Test to help diagnose and manage HBV infections. This test provides valuable information about the genotype of the virus, which can have implications for treatment and prognosis.

Test Details

The Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) is classified into several genotypes based on genetic differences. Currently, there are 10 recognized genotypes, labeled A to J. Each genotype and sub-genotype has distinct geographic distributions and clinical characteristics.

HBV genotype A is found predominantly in Europe, North America, and Africa. Sub-genotype A1 is prevalent in Western Europe, while A2 is more common in North America. Genotype B is found in East Asia, including China, Japan, and Korea. Genotype C is also prevalent in East Asia, particularly in China and Korea. Genotype D is widespread globally and is commonly found in the Mediterranean region, the Middle East, and South Asia. Genotype E is primarily found in West Africa, while genotype F is prevalent in Central and South America. Genotype G is found in Europe and North America, and genotype H is mainly found in Central America and Mexico. Genotype I is primarily found in Vietnam and Laos, and genotype J is found in Japan.

Different HBV genotypes may have varying clinical outcomes and responses to antiviral therapy. For example, genotypes A and B are associated with a milder disease course and better response to treatment, while genotypes C and D are associated with more severe liver disease and a higher risk of developing hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer).

The Hepatitis B Virus HBV Genotype Test is performed using Sanger Sequencing, a molecular technique that allows for accurate determination of the genotype. The test requires a peripheral blood, plasma, or serum sample collected in an EDTA Vacutainer (2ml).

Test Details

Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) is classified into several genotypes based on genetic differences. Currently, there are 10 recognized genotypes, labeled A to J. These genotypes are further divided into sub-genotypes, indicated by numbers (e.g., A1, A2, etc.). Each genotype and sub-genotype has distinct geographic distributions and clinical characteristics.

HBV genotype A is found predominantly in Europe, North America, and Africa. Sub-genotype A1 is prevalent in Western Europe, while A2 is more common in North America. Genotype B is found in East Asia, including China, Japan, and Korea. Genotype C is also prevalent in East Asia, particularly in China and Korea. Genotype D is widespread globally and is commonly found in the Mediterranean region, the Middle East, and South Asia.

Genotype E is primarily found in West Africa, while genotype F is prevalent in Central and South America. Genotype G is found in Europe and North America, and genotype H is mainly found in Central America and Mexico. Genotype I is primarily found in Vietnam and Laos, and genotype J is found in Japan.

Different HBV genotypes may have varying clinical outcomes and responses to antiviral therapy. For example, genotypes A and B are associated with a milder disease course and better response to treatment, while genotypes C and D are associated with more severe liver disease and a higher risk of developing hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer).

Genotyping of HBV is typically done using molecular techniques, such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and DNA sequencing. Determining the genotype can help in understanding the epidemiology, transmission patterns, and clinical management of HBV infection.
