The Anti IA-2 Insulinoma Associated Antigen Test is a specialized blood test used to detect antibodies against the Insulinoma-Associated-2 (IA-2) antigen. IA-2 is a protein tyrosine phosphatase-like molecule that is primarily found in pancreatic beta cells, which are responsible for insulin production. The presence of antibodies against IA-2 is a significant marker for the autoimmune basis of type 1 diabetes, as these antibodies can be indicative of the body’s immune system mistakenly attacking and destroying its own insulin-producing cells.

This test plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and management of type 1 diabetes, particularly in distinguishing it from type 2 diabetes or other forms of diabetes. It is often ordered when a patient presents symptoms of diabetes or when a healthcare provider suspects type 1 diabetes. In some cases, the test may also be used to assess the risk of developing type 1 diabetes in individuals who have a family history of the disease.

In the United Arab Emirates, the Anti IA-2 Insulinoma Associated Antigen Test is available at DNA Labs UAE, a leading provider of diagnostic and genetic testing services. The test is priced at 1170 AED, reflecting the specialized nature of the test and the sophisticated technology and expertise required to perform it.

Test Details

The Anti IA-2 (Insulinoma Associated Antigen) test is a blood test used to detect the presence of antibodies against the IA-2 protein in the body. IA-2 is an antigen found on the surface of beta cells in the pancreas, which are responsible for producing insulin.

The test is primarily used in the diagnosis of type 1 diabetes and to differentiate it from type 2 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the beta cells in the pancreas, leading to a deficiency of insulin.

By measuring the levels of anti-IA-2 antibodies in the blood, the test can help determine if an individual has an autoimmune response against their own beta cells. Elevated levels of anti-IA-2 antibodies are often seen in individuals with type 1 diabetes, while they are typically absent in individuals with type 2 diabetes.

The Anti IA-2 test can be used in combination with other tests, such as the Anti-GAD (glutamic acid decarboxylase) test, to provide a more accurate diagnosis of type 1 diabetes. It is important to note that this test is not used for routine screening or monitoring of diabetes, but rather for diagnostic purposes in individuals suspected of having type 1 diabetes.
