The ANK1 Gene Spherocytosis Type 1 Genetic Test is a specialized diagnostic procedure offered by DNA Labs UAE, designed to identify mutations in the ANK1 gene that are associated with Hereditary Spherocytosis Type 1. Hereditary Spherocytosis is a condition characterized by anemia, jaundice, and an enlarged spleen due to the presence of spherical red blood cells, which are more prone to breaking apart. The test is crucial for individuals showing symptoms of the condition or those with a family history, as it aids in confirming the diagnosis, understanding the severity, and planning appropriate treatment strategies.

This test specifically targets the ANK1 gene, mutations in which are known to cause a significant proportion of Hereditary Spherocytosis cases. The procedure involves collecting a DNA sample, usually through a blood draw, which is then analyzed in the laboratory to detect any genetic abnormalities present within the ANK1 gene.

The cost of the ANK1 Gene Spherocytosis Type 1 Genetic Test at DNA Labs UAE is set at 4400 AED. This price reflects the comprehensive nature of the test, including the sophisticated technology and expertise required to accurately identify mutations within the gene. For patients and families affected by Hereditary Spherocytosis, this test provides essential information that can guide treatment decisions and offer insights into the genetic underpinnings of their condition.

ANK1 Gene Spherocytosis type 1 Genetic Test

Are you or a loved one at risk for spherocytosis type 1? DNA Labs UAE offers the ANK1 Gene Spherocytosis type 1 Genetic Test to provide valuable insights into this inherited blood disorder.

Test Details

The ANK1 gene is responsible for producing ankyrin-1, a protein crucial for the structure and function of red blood cells. Mutations in the ANK1 gene can lead to spherocytosis type 1, a condition characterized by abnormally shaped red blood cells (spherocytes). These cells are more susceptible to destruction by the spleen, resulting in hemolytic anemia.

Our ANK1 Gene Spherocytosis type 1 Genetic Test utilizes NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology to analyze multiple genes simultaneously. By specifically targeting the ANK1 gene, this test can identify mutations associated with spherocytosis type 1, confirming a diagnosis and providing information about the specific genetic variant present in an individual.

This test is essential for genetic counseling and family planning decisions, as it helps identify the specific genetic mutation and aids in the development of targeted treatment strategies and management plans for individuals with spherocytosis type 1.

Test Details

The ANK1 gene is responsible for providing instructions for making a protein called ankyrin-1. Ankyrin-1 plays a crucial role in the structure and function of red blood cells. Mutations in the ANK1 gene can lead to a condition called spherocytosis type 1.

Spherocytosis is a group of inherited blood disorders characterized by the presence of abnormally shaped red blood cells (spherocytes). These cells are more prone to being destroyed by the spleen, leading to a condition known as hemolytic anemia.

NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a method used to analyze multiple genes simultaneously. In the case of spherocytosis type 1, an NGS genetic test can identify mutations in the ANK1 gene that are associated with the condition. This test can help confirm a diagnosis and provide information about the specific genetic variant present in an individual.

By identifying the specific genetic mutation, NGS testing can also help with genetic counseling and family planning decisions. Additionally, it can aid in the development of targeted treatment strategies and management plans for individuals with spherocytosis type 1.
