Price: 4400.0 AED
Sample Condition: Blood or Extracted DNA or One drop Blood on FTA Card
Report Delivery: 3 to 4 Weeks
Method: NGS Technology

Pre Test Information: Clinical History of Patient who is going for CASP8 Gene Autoimmune Lymphoproliferative Syndrome Type 2B NGS Genetic DNA Test. A Genetic Counselling session to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with CASP8 Gene Autoimmune Lymphoproliferative Syndrome Type 2B NGS Genetic DNA Test gene CASP8
Test Details: The CASP8 gene is a gene that encodes for the caspase-8 protein, which plays a crucial role in programmed cell death (apoptosis). Mutations in the CASP8 gene can lead to a rare genetic disorder called autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome type 2B (ALPS2B). ALPS2B is characterized by abnormal immune system function, leading to the accumulation of lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell) in various organs such as the lymph nodes, liver, and spleen. This can result in symptoms such as enlarged lymph nodes, hepatosplenomegaly (enlarged liver and spleen), autoimmune disorders, and an increased risk of developing certain types of cancer. NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a type of genetic testing that allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes or even the entire genome. In the context of ALPS2B, NGS genetic testing can be used to identify mutations in the CASP8 gene that may be responsible for the development of the disorder. By identifying these mutations, NGS genetic testing can help confirm a diagnosis of ALPS2B and provide important information for the management and treatment of the condition. It can also be used for genetic counseling and to assess the risk of passing on the condition to future generations.
