DSG1 Gene Keratosis palmoplantaris striata type 1 Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the DSG1 Gene Keratosis palmoplantaris striata type 1 Genetic Test at a cost of AED 4400.0. This test is used to diagnose and understand the genetic basis of keratosis palmoplantaris striata type 1, a rare genetic disorder characterized by thickened skin on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet.
Test Details
The DSG1 gene keratosis palmoplantaris striata type 1 NGS genetic test utilizes Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to analyze the DSG1 gene for mutations associated with this disorder. The DSG1 gene provides instructions for making a protein called desmoglein 1, which is involved in the structure and function of the skin.
By sequencing the DNA of an individual, this test can identify any changes or mutations in the DSG1 gene, confirming a diagnosis of keratosis palmoplantaris striata type 1. Additionally, it provides information about the specific mutation present in an individual, which can be useful for genetic counseling and family planning.
NGS technology allows for the simultaneous sequencing of multiple genes or the entire exome, providing a comprehensive analysis of genetic information. This enables the identification of rare or novel mutations that may not be detected using other genetic testing methods.

| Test Details |
DSG1 gene keratosis palmoplantaris striata type 1 NGS genetic test is a type of genetic test that uses Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to analyze the DSG1 gene for mutations associated with keratosis palmoplantaris striata type 1. Keratosis palmoplantaris striata type 1 is a rare genetic disorder characterized by thickened skin on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. It is caused by mutations in the DSG1 gene, which provides instructions for making a protein called desmoglein 1. This protein is involved in the structure and function of the skin. The NGS genetic test for DSG1 gene mutations involves sequencing the DNA of an individual to identify any changes or mutations in the DSG1 gene. This can help in confirming a diagnosis of keratosis palmoplantaris striata type 1 and can also provide information about the specific mutation present in an individual, which can be useful for genetic counseling and family planning. NGS technology allows for the simultaneous sequencing of multiple genes or the entire exome (the protein-coding regions of the genome), providing a comprehensive analysis of the genetic information. This can help in identifying rare or novel mutations that may not be detected using other genetic testing methods. Overall, the DSG1 gene keratosis palmoplantaris striata type 1 NGS genetic test is a valuable tool for diagnosing and understanding the genetic basis of this rare skin disorder. |
