ABCB6 Gene Dyschromatosis Universalis Hereditaria Type 3 Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the ABCB6 Gene Dyschromatosis Universalis Hereditaria Type 3 Genetic Test at a cost of AED 4400.0. This test is used to diagnose and identify the ABCB6 gene mutation associated with Dyschromatosis Universalis Hereditaria Type 3 (DUH3).
Test Details
Dyschromatosis Universalis Hereditaria Type 3 (DUH3) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by abnormal pigmentation of the skin, resulting in irregular patches of hyperpigmentation and hypopigmentation. The ABCB6 gene is responsible for this condition.
Our NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology allows for a more comprehensive evaluation of an individual’s genetic makeup by analyzing multiple genes simultaneously. In the case of DUH3, NGS genetic testing can identify mutations or variations in the ABCB6 gene that may be responsible for the condition.
Symptoms and Diagnosis
Individuals with DUH3 may exhibit irregular patches of hyperpigmentation and hypopigmentation on their skin. To determine if a patient has DUH3, a dermatologist will conduct a clinical examination and evaluate their medical history. Genetic counseling may also be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by DUH3.
Report Delivery and Method
After the genetic test is conducted, the report will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks. The test requires a blood sample for analysis.
Test Type and Department
The ABCB6 Gene Dyschromatosis Universalis Hereditaria Type 3 Genetic Test falls under the category of Osteology Dermatology Immunology Disorders. The test is conducted by our Genetics department.
Doctor and Pre-Test Information
A dermatologist will oversee the ABCB6 Gene Dyschromatosis Universalis Hereditaria Type 3 Genetic Test. It is important to provide the clinical history of the patient before the test, including any symptoms or concerns related to DUH3. A genetic counseling session may also be conducted to gather information about affected family members and draw a pedigree chart.
Importance of NGS Genetic Testing
NGS genetic testing is a valuable tool for confirming a diagnosis of DUH3 and providing important information for genetic counseling and management of the condition. It can also identify carriers of the gene mutation within families, enabling informed reproductive decisions.
It is essential to have NGS genetic testing ordered and interpreted by a qualified healthcare professional, such as a geneticist or genetic counselor, who can provide appropriate guidance and support based on the test results.

| Test Details | The ABCB6 gene is associated with a condition called Dyschromatosis universalis hereditaria type 3 (DUH3). DUH3 is a rare genetic disorder characterized by abnormal pigmentation of the skin, with irregular patches of hyperpigmentation and hypopigmentation. NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a technique used to analyze multiple genes simultaneously, allowing for a more comprehensive evaluation of an individual’s genetic makeup. In the case of DUH3, NGS genetic testing can be used to identify mutations or variations in the ABCB6 gene that may be responsible for the condition. By detecting these genetic changes, NGS genetic testing can help confirm a diagnosis of DUH3 and provide valuable information for genetic counseling and management of the condition. It can also be used to identify carriers of the gene mutation within families and assist in making informed reproductive decisions. It’s important to note that NGS genetic testing should be ordered and interpreted by a qualified healthcare professional, such as a geneticist or genetic counselor, who can provide appropriate guidance and support based on the test results. |
