CLOPIDOGREL CYP2C19 GENOTYPE Test
Welcome to DNA Labs UAE, a leading genetic lab offering the CLOPIDOGREL CYP2C19 genotype test. This test helps determine a patient’s genetic variation in the CYP2C19 gene, which is responsible for metabolizing the drug clopidogrel.
Test Details
The CLOPIDOGREL CYP2C19 genotype test is a genetic test that identifies a patient’s genetic makeup in relation to the CYP2C19 gene. This gene is crucial in metabolizing clopidogrel, a medication used to prevent blood clots in patients with certain cardiovascular conditions like heart attacks and strokes.
Components
The test costs AED 8420.0 and requires a sample of 4 mL (2 mL minimum) of whole blood in a Lavender Top (EDTA) tube. The sample should be shipped refrigerated or frozen. Additionally, a duly filled Test Send Out Consent Form is mandatory.
Report Delivery
The sample should be sent by the 7th of the month, and the report will be delivered after 2-3 weeks.
Method
The CLOPIDOGREL CYP2C19 genotype test is conducted using the Real Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) method, specifically the Single Nucleotide Primer Extension technique.
Test Type
The test is primarily used for diagnosing heart diseases and is recommended by cardiologists.
Pre Test Information
No special preparation is required before undergoing the CLOPIDOGREL CYP2C19 genotype test.
Why is the Test Important?
The CLOPIDOGREL CYP2C19 genotype test helps identify patients who may not respond well to clopidogrel due to their genetic makeup. By determining the patient’s genetic variation in the CYP2C19 gene, healthcare professionals can create a more effective treatment plan tailored to the patient’s specific needs. This test is usually recommended before starting clopidogrel therapy to ensure the most suitable and beneficial treatment for the patient.
