ERCC5 Gene Xeroderma pigmentosum group G Genetic Test
Test Name: ERCC5 Gene Xeroderma pigmentosum group G Genetic Test
Components: DNA Labs UAE offers the ERCC5 Gene Xeroderma pigmentosum group G Genetic Test at a price of 4400.0 AED.
Sample Condition: The test can be performed using blood, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card.
Report Delivery: The test results are usually delivered within 3 to 4 weeks.
Method: The ERCC5 Gene Xeroderma pigmentosum group G Genetic Test utilizes NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology.
Test Type: This test falls under the categories of Osteology, Dermatology, and Immunology Disorders.
Doctor: The test is typically conducted by a Dermatologist.
Test Department: The ERCC5 Gene Xeroderma pigmentosum group G Genetic Test is conducted in the Genetics department of DNA Labs UAE.
Pre Test Information: Prior to undergoing the ERCC5 Gene Xeroderma pigmentosum group G Genetic Test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient. Additionally, a genetic counseling session may be conducted to create a pedigree chart of family members affected by the ERCC5 Gene Xeroderma pigmentosum group G Genetic Test gene.
Test Details: The ERCC5 gene is associated with Xeroderma pigmentosum, group G (XP-G), a rare genetic disorder characterized by extreme sensitivity to UV radiation from sunlight. Individuals with XP-G have an increased risk of developing skin cancer and other skin abnormalities due to impaired DNA repair mechanisms. NGS genetic testing allows for the analysis of multiple genes simultaneously, including the ERCC5 gene. By targeting the ERCC5 gene, this test can identify mutations or variations that may be responsible for XP-G. This information is crucial for diagnosing the condition and providing appropriate medical management and genetic counseling for affected individuals and their families.

| Test Details |
The ERCC5 gene is associated with a condition called Xeroderma pigmentosum, group G (XP-G). XP-G is a rare genetic disorder characterized by extreme sensitivity to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from sunlight. Individuals with XP-G are at a significantly increased risk of developing skin cancer and other skin abnormalities, as their DNA repair mechanisms are impaired. NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a type of genetic testing that analyzes multiple genes simultaneously. It allows for the identification of mutations or variations in the DNA sequence of multiple genes, including the ERCC5 gene. NGS can provide a comprehensive analysis of an individual’s genetic makeup, enabling the detection of disease-causing mutations or variations. In the context of XP-G, an NGS genetic test targeting the ERCC5 gene can identify mutations or variations that may be responsible for the condition. This information can help in diagnosing XP-G and providing appropriate medical management and genetic counseling for affected individuals and their families. |
