GHR Gene Laron Syndrome Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the GHR Gene Laron Syndrome Genetic Test for individuals who suspect they may have Laron syndrome or want to determine if they are carriers of the condition. This test can provide valuable information for diagnosis, genetic counseling, and potential treatment options.
Test Components and Price
The GHR Gene Laron Syndrome Genetic Test is priced at 4400.0 AED. The test can be conducted using either blood or extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA Card.
Report Delivery
Once the sample is collected, the report will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks.
Method and Test Type
The GHR Gene Laron Syndrome Genetic Test utilizes NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology. This method allows us to analyze the DNA sequence of genes, including the GHR gene, to identify any genetic variations or mutations. The test falls under the categories of Hepatology, Nephrology, and Endocrinology Disorders.
Doctor and Test Department
The test can be ordered by a General Physician and is conducted in our Genetics department.
Pre-Test Information
Before undergoing the GHR Gene Laron Syndrome Genetic Test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient. Additionally, a Genetic Counselling session will be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by Laron syndrome and the GHR gene.
Test Details
The GHR gene, also known as the growth hormone receptor gene, is responsible for encoding the growth hormone receptor protein. Mutations in this gene can lead to Laron syndrome, a rare genetic disorder characterized by short stature and insensitivity to growth hormone (GH).
Individuals with Laron syndrome have a deficiency or malfunction in the growth hormone receptor, which prevents them from responding to GH. As a result, they experience impaired growth and development.
NGS genetic testing is used to analyze the DNA sequence of genes, including the GHR gene, to identify any genetic variations or mutations. This type of genetic testing can help diagnose Laron syndrome by identifying mutations in the GHR gene associated with the disorder.
NGS genetic testing involves sequencing the entire coding region of the GHR gene, as well as any known regulatory regions, to identify variations or mutations. This helps determine if an individual has Laron syndrome or is a carrier of the condition.
By identifying specific genetic mutations associated with Laron syndrome, NGS genetic testing provides valuable information for diagnosis, genetic counseling, and potential treatment options for individuals with this rare genetic disorder.

| Test Details |
The GHR gene, also known as the growth hormone receptor gene, is responsible for encoding the growth hormone receptor protein. Mutations in this gene can lead to a rare genetic disorder called Laron syndrome. Laron syndrome, also known as Laron-type dwarfism, is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by short stature and insensitivity to growth hormone (GH). Individuals with Laron syndrome have a deficiency or malfunction in the growth hormone receptor, which prevents them from responding to GH. As a result, they experience impaired growth and development. NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a method used to analyze the DNA sequence of genes, including the GHR gene, to identify any genetic variations or mutations. This type of genetic testing can help diagnose Laron syndrome by identifying mutations in the GHR gene that are associated with the disorder. NGS genetic testing involves sequencing the entire coding region of the GHR gene, as well as any known regulatory regions, to identify any variations or mutations. This can help determine if an individual has Laron syndrome or is a carrier of the condition. By identifying the specific genetic mutations associated with Laron syndrome, NGS genetic testing can provide valuable information for diagnosis, genetic counseling, and potential treatment options for individuals with this rare genetic disorder. |
