The EPB42 gene plays a crucial role in the stability and shape of red blood cells. Mutations in this gene are associated with hereditary spherocytosis type 5, a genetic condition characterized by anemia, jaundice, and an enlarged spleen due to the abnormal shape of red blood cells. To diagnose this condition, a genetic test targeting the EPB42 gene can be conducted.

DNA Labs UAE offers this specific genetic test to identify mutations in the EPB42 gene, providing crucial information for the diagnosis and management of hereditary spherocytosis type 5. The test is priced at 4400 AED and is conducted in their state-of-the-art facilities, ensuring accurate and reliable results. This genetic test is a vital tool for affected individuals and their families to understand their condition better and make informed health decisions.

EPB42 Gene Spherocytosis type 5 Genetic Test

At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the EPB42 Gene Spherocytosis type 5 Genetic Test at a cost of 4400.0 AED. This test is designed to analyze the EPB42 gene and detect any mutations or genetic variants that may be associated with spherocytosis type 5.

Test Components and Price

Components: EPB42 Gene Spherocytosis type 5 Genetic Test

Price: 4400.0 AED

Sample Condition

Sample can be either Blood, Extracted DNA, or One drop Blood on FTA Card.

Report Delivery

Reports will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks.

Method

The EPB42 Gene Spherocytosis type 5 Genetic Test utilizes NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology.

Test Type

This test falls under the category of Hematology.

Doctor

The test will be conducted by a Hematologist.

Test Department

The test is conducted in the Genetics department.

Pre Test Information

Prior to the test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient who is undergoing the EPB42 Gene Spherocytosis type 5 NGS Genetic DNA Test. Additionally, a Genetic Counselling session will be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by the EPB42 gene.

Test Details

The EPB42 gene is associated with spherocytosis type 5, a condition characterized by the presence of spherical-shaped red blood cells (spherocytes) instead of the normal biconcave shape. This condition is caused by mutations in the EPB42 gene, which encodes a protein called erythrocyte membrane protein band 4.2. This protein plays a crucial role in maintaining the shape and stability of red blood cells.

NGS technology allows for the simultaneous sequencing of multiple genes or even the entire exome (the protein-coding regions of all genes) in a cost-effective and efficient manner. By performing an NGS genetic test for spherocytosis type 5, healthcare providers can identify individuals who are at risk of developing the condition or confirm a diagnosis in individuals with suspected spherocytosis. This information can be used for genetic counseling, family planning, and management of the condition.

It is important to note that genetic testing should be performed by a qualified healthcare professional or genetic counselor who can interpret the results and provide appropriate recommendations based on the individual’s specific situation.
