CYP27B1 Gene Rickets vitamin D dependent type 1 Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the CYP27B1 Gene Rickets vitamin D dependent type 1 Genetic Test at a cost of AED 4400.0. This test is designed to diagnose individuals with VDDR1, a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the CYP27B1 gene.
Test Details
The CYP27B1 gene is responsible for encoding an enzyme called 25-hydroxyvitamin D-1-hydroxylase. This enzyme plays a crucial role in the conversion of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (calcidiol) to its active form, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (calcitriol). Calcitriol is essential for maintaining calcium and phosphate homeostasis in the body.
VDDR1 is characterized by skeletal abnormalities and bone deformities, which are a result of the impaired conversion of calcidiol to calcitriol due to mutations in the CYP27B1 gene. Individuals with VDDR1 are unable to adequately absorb calcium and phosphorus from their diet.
NGS Technology
We use NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology for the CYP27B1 Gene Rickets vitamin D dependent type 1 Genetic Test. NGS allows for the simultaneous sequencing of multiple genes or even the entire genome, providing a comprehensive analysis of genetic variations within the CYP27B1 gene.

Pre Test Information
Prior to undergoing the CYP27B1 Gene Rickets vitamin D dependent type 1 Genetic Test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient. Additionally, a Genetic Counselling session may be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by VDDR1.
Conclusion
The CYP27B1 Gene Rickets vitamin D dependent type 1 Genetic Test offered by DNA Labs UAE is a valuable tool for diagnosing VDDR1. By identifying mutations in the CYP27B1 gene, this test can guide appropriate treatment and management strategies for individuals with this rare genetic disorder.

Test Details |
The CYP27B1 gene is responsible for encoding an enzyme called 25-hydroxyvitamin D-1-hydroxylase. This enzyme plays a crucial role in the conversion of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (calcidiol) to its active form, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (calcitriol). Calcitriol is the biologically active form of vitamin D, and it is essential for maintaining calcium and phosphate homeostasis in the body. Rickets, vitamin D dependent, type 1 (also known as VDDR1) is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the CYP27B1 gene. These mutations lead to a deficiency in the 1-hydroxylase enzyme, resulting in impaired conversion of calcidiol to calcitriol. As a result, individuals with VDDR1 are unable to adequately absorb calcium and phosphorus from their diet, leading to skeletal abnormalities and bone deformities characteristic of rickets. NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a type of genetic analysis that allows for the simultaneous sequencing of multiple genes or even the entire genome. In the context of VDDR1, NGS genetic testing can be used to identify mutations in the CYP27B1 gene that are responsible for the disorder. This type of testing can provide a comprehensive analysis of the genetic variations within the gene, helping to diagnose VDDR1 and guide appropriate treatment and management strategies. |
