The CXCR4 Gene WHIM Syndrome Genetic Test is a specialized diagnostic tool available at DNA Labs UAE, designed to identify mutations in the CXCR4 gene, which are responsible for WHIM syndrome. WHIM is an acronym for Warts, Hypogammaglobulinemia, Infections, and Myelokathexis, a rare primary immunodeficiency disorder characterized by the aforementioned symptoms. This genetic condition affects the immune system, making individuals more susceptible to various infections, skin warts, and potentially leading to neutropenia, a condition marked by an abnormally low count of neutrophils, a type of white blood cell essential for fighting off infections.

The test, priced at 4400 AED, involves collecting a DNA sample, typically through a blood draw, which is then analyzed in the state-of-the-art facilities at DNA Labs UAE. By examining the specific genetic sequence of the CXCR4 gene, this test can confirm the presence of mutations linked to WHIM syndrome, providing crucial information for the diagnosis, management, and treatment of this condition. The results from this test can help healthcare professionals devise a personalized treatment plan aimed at managing symptoms, preventing infections, and improving the quality of life for those affected by WHIM syndrome.

Description

CXCR4 Gene WHIM syndrome Genetic Test

Test Name: CXCR4 Gene WHIM syndrome Genetic Test

Components: DNA Labs UAE offers the CXCR4 Gene WHIM syndrome Genetic Test for a price of 4400.0 AED.

Sample Condition: The test requires a blood sample, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA Card.

Report Delivery: The test results will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks.

Method: The test utilizes NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) Technology.

Test Type: The CXCR4 Gene WHIM syndrome Genetic Test falls under the category of Osteology Dermatology Immunology Disorders.

Doctor: The test is conducted by a Dermatologist.

Test Department: The test is conducted in the Genetics department.

Pre Test Information: Before undergoing the CXCR4 Gene WHIM syndrome Genetic Test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient. Additionally, a Genetic Counselling session will be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by CXCR4 Gene WHIM syndrome.

Test Details: The CXCR4 gene is responsible for encoding a protein called C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4. This protein plays a crucial role in immune response and cell migration. WHIM syndrome is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the CXCR4 gene. People with WHIM syndrome have a weakened immune system, recurrent infections, low levels of certain antibodies, and an increased risk of certain types of cancer. NGS genetic testing is used to identify mutations in the CXCR4 gene, allowing for a definitive diagnosis of WHIM syndrome. The test involves obtaining a DNA sample, usually through a blood or saliva sample, and sequencing it using NGS technology. The results of the test can guide treatment decisions and provide valuable information for genetic counseling.

Note: NGS genetic testing for WHIM syndrome should be performed by specialized laboratories and requires a healthcare professional’s order. It is essential to accompany genetic testing with appropriate counseling to help individuals and families understand the implications of the test results.

Test Details	The CXCR4 gene is responsible for encoding a protein called C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4. This protein is involved in cell signaling and plays a crucial role in immune response and cell migration. WHIM syndrome (warts, hypogammaglobulinemia, infections, and myelokathexis syndrome) is a rare genetic disorder that is caused by mutations in the CXCR4 gene. People with WHIM syndrome typically have a weakened immune system, leading to recurrent infections, low levels of certain antibodies (hypogammaglobulinemia), and an increased risk of developing certain types of cancer. NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a type of genetic testing that uses advanced sequencing technologies to analyze multiple genes simultaneously. In the case of WHIM syndrome, NGS genetic testing can be used to identify mutations in the CXCR4 gene, allowing for a definitive diagnosis of the condition. NGS genetic testing for WHIM syndrome involves obtaining a DNA sample, usually through a blood sample or saliva sample, from the individual suspected of having the condition. The DNA is then sequenced using NGS technology, which can identify specific mutations in the CXCR4 gene associated with WHIM syndrome. The results of the test can help guide treatment decisions and provide valuable information for genetic counseling. It is important to note that NGS genetic testing for WHIM syndrome is typically performed by specialized laboratories and requires a healthcare professional’s order. Additionally, genetic testing should always be accompanied by appropriate counseling to help individuals and families understand the implications of the test results.
