DOCK8 Gene Hyper-IgE Recurrent Infection Syndrome Autosomal Recessive Genetic Test
Welcome to DNA Labs UAE, where we offer comprehensive genetic testing services. In this blog, we will discuss the DOCK8 gene Hyper-IgE recurrent infection syndrome autosomal recessive genetic test.
Test Details
The DOCK8 gene is associated with a rare genetic disorder called Hyper-IgE recurrent infection syndrome (HIES). HIES is an autosomal recessive disorder, meaning that both copies of the gene must be mutated for the condition to be present.
NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a type of genetic test that uses advanced sequencing technologies to analyze multiple genes simultaneously. In the case of HIES, NGS genetic testing can be used to identify mutations in the DOCK8 gene.
The DOCK8 gene provides instructions for producing a protein that is involved in immune system function. Mutations in this gene can lead to a deficiency or dysfunction of the DOCK8 protein, resulting in a weakened immune system and increased susceptibility to recurrent infections.
NGS genetic testing for HIES can help in the diagnosis of the condition by identifying mutations in the DOCK8 gene. This information can be used to confirm a clinical suspicion of HIES and guide appropriate treatment and management strategies.

Doctor and Test Department
If you suspect that you or someone in your family may have HIES and would like to undergo the DOCK8 gene Hyper-IgE recurrent infection syndrome autosomal recessive genetic test, it is recommended to consult with a dermatologist. The test is conducted in our Genetics department.
Pre-Test Information
Before undergoing the DOCK8 gene Hyper-IgE recurrent infection syndrome autosomal recessive genetic test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient. Additionally, a genetic counseling session may be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with HIES. This helps in understanding the inheritance pattern and identifying potential carriers of the mutated gene.
Please note that genetic testing for HIES should always be performed by a qualified healthcare professional or genetic counselor who can interpret the results accurately and provide appropriate counseling and support.
At DNA Labs UAE, we are dedicated to providing accurate and reliable genetic testing services. If you have any further questions or would like to schedule an appointment, please contact us.
