Chromosomes 18 X and Y Test Cost AED:1200.0 | DNA Labs UAE
Welcome to DNA Labs UAE, where we offer the Chromosomes 18 X and Y Test at a cost of AED 1200.0. This test is used to diagnose various genetic disorders and is performed using the FISH method.
Test Details
The Chromosomes 18 X and Y Test focuses on specific types of chromosomes found in humans. Chromosome 18 is one of the 23 pairs of chromosomes and is not involved in determining an individual’s sex. It contains around 76 million base pairs and is estimated to have about 300 to 400 genes. Mutations or deletions of genes on chromosome 18 can lead to genetic disorders such as Edwards syndrome or chromosomal translocations.
The X and Y chromosomes, known as the sex chromosomes, determine an individual’s sex. Females have two X chromosomes (XX), while males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY). The presence of the Y chromosome determines male development, while its absence results in female development. The X chromosome contains around 155 million base pairs and over 1,000 genes responsible for traits like color vision and blood clotting. The Y chromosome is smaller, containing around 59 million base pairs and only a few dozen genes responsible for male sexual development.

Test Details |
Chromosomes 18, X, and Y are specific types of chromosomes found in humans. Chromosome 18 is one of the 23 pairs of chromosomes in humans. It is the third smallest autosome, meaning it is not involved in determining the sex of an individual. Chromosome 18 contains around 76 million base pairs and is estimated to have about 300 to 400 genes. Mutations or deletions of genes on chromosome 18 can lead to various genetic disorders, such as Edwards syndrome (trisomy 18) or chromosomal translocations. The X and Y chromosomes are known as the sex chromosomes. Females have two X chromosomes (XX), while males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY). The presence of the Y chromosome determines male development, while the absence of it results in female development. The X chromosome contains around 155 million base pairs and is estimated to have over 1,000 genes, including those responsible for traits like color vision and blood clotting. The Y chromosome is smaller, containing around 59 million base pairs and only a few dozen genes, including those responsible for male sexual development. |
