CLDN1 Gene Ichthyosis leukocyte vacuoles alopecia and sclerosing cholangitis Genetic Test
Genetic testing plays a crucial role in diagnosing and understanding various genetic disorders. One such test is the CLDN1 Gene Ichthyosis leukocyte vacuoles alopecia and sclerosing cholangitis Genetic Test offered by DNA Labs UAE.
Test Details
The CLDN1 gene is associated with a condition called ichthyosis, which is a group of genetic skin disorders characterized by dry, scaly skin. Specifically, mutations in the CLDN1 gene can cause a specific type of ichthyosis known as ichthyosis vulgaris.
Leukocyte vacuoles refer to the presence of vacuoles or small cavities within white blood cells. This can be seen in certain genetic disorders or as a result of certain medications.
Alopecia, on the other hand, refers to hair loss. It can be caused by various factors including genetic predisposition, autoimmune disorders, or certain medical treatments.
Sclerosing cholangitis is a condition characterized by inflammation and scarring of the bile ducts in the liver. It can be caused by various factors including autoimmune disorders, infections, or genetic mutations.
Test Components and Price
The CLDN1 Gene Ichthyosis leukocyte vacuoles alopecia and sclerosing cholangitis Genetic Test is priced at 4400.0 AED.
The test requires a sample condition of either blood, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA Card.
The report delivery time for this test is estimated to be 3 to 4 weeks.
NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology is used for this genetic test, allowing for a comprehensive analysis of multiple genes simultaneously.
Referring Doctor and Test Department
The referring doctor for this test is a Dermatologist, given the dermatological nature of the symptoms associated with the CLDN1 gene.
The test is conducted in the Genetics department, ensuring accurate analysis and interpretation of the genetic data.
Pre-Test Information
Prior to the CLDN1 Gene Ichthyosis leukocyte vacuoles alopecia and sclerosing cholangitis Genetic Test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient. This helps in understanding the specific symptoms and medical background.
A Genetic Counselling session is also recommended to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by CLDN1 Gene Ichthyosis, leukocyte vacuoles, alopecia, and sclerosing cholangitis. This helps in identifying potential genetic patterns and inheritance.
Advantages of NGS Genetic Testing
NGS genetic testing allows for a more comprehensive analysis of multiple genes involved in a specific condition. In the case of the CLDN1 gene and the associated symptoms mentioned, NGS genetic testing can identify mutations or variants in the CLDN1 gene and other relevant genes responsible for the observed symptoms.
This type of testing provides a more accurate diagnosis, potentially guiding treatment decisions and improving patient outcomes.
