ALAS2 Gene Protoporphyria erythropoietic X-linked Genetic Test
Welcome to DNA Labs UAE, your trusted genetic testing lab. We offer the ALAS2 Gene Protoporphyria erythropoietic X-linked Genetic Test at a cost of AED 4400.0.
Test Details
The ALAS2 Gene Protoporphyria erythropoietic X-linked Genetic Test is a type of genetic test that uses Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to analyze the ALAS2 gene for mutations associated with protoporphyria, specifically the erythropoietic subtype, which is inherited in an X-linked manner.
Protoporphyria is a group of rare genetic disorders that affect the production of heme, a component of hemoglobin. ALAS2 gene mutations can cause an overproduction of protoporphyrin, leading to symptoms such as photosensitivity, skin rashes, and liver problems.
NGS technology allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes, providing a comprehensive assessment of genetic variations. In the case of ALAS2 gene protoporphyria, erythropoietic, X-linked NGS genetic test, it specifically focuses on identifying mutations within the ALAS2 gene that may be responsible for the condition.
This genetic test can be helpful in confirming a diagnosis of ALAS2 gene protoporphyria, erythropoietic, X-linked, and can also be used for carrier testing and family planning purposes. It can be performed on a blood or saliva sample, and the results are typically interpreted by a genetic counselor or healthcare provider.
It is important to note that genetic testing is usually recommended in conjunction with a comprehensive clinical evaluation and may not be the sole factor in making a diagnosis or treatment decision. Genetic counseling is also an essential part of the testing process to help individuals understand the results and their implications.
