GJC2 Gene Lymphedema hereditary type IC Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the GJC2 Gene Lymphedema hereditary type IC Genetic Test for individuals who may be at risk of developing hereditary lymphedema. This test helps in diagnosing the condition and guiding treatment decisions.
Test Details
The GJC2 gene is associated with hereditary lymphedema type IC, a condition characterized by swelling in the limbs due to impaired lymphatic drainage. Our Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology allows us to analyze multiple genes simultaneously, providing a comprehensive view of an individual’s genetic makeup.
By analyzing the GJC2 gene using NGS, our healthcare professionals can identify any genetic changes or mutations that may be responsible for the development of hereditary lymphedema type IC. This information is crucial for diagnosing the condition, predicting the risk of developing lymphedema in family members, and making informed treatment decisions.
Test Components and Price
Our GJC2 Gene Lymphedema hereditary type IC Genetic Test is priced at 4400.0 AED. The test can be performed on a blood sample, extracted DNA, or even a single drop of blood on an FTA Card.
Report Delivery and Method
Once the sample is received, the report will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks. Our NGS technology ensures accurate and efficient analysis of the GJC2 gene.
Test Type and Doctor
The GJC2 Gene Lymphedema hereditary type IC Genetic Test falls under the category of Osteology Dermatology Immunology Disorders. It is typically ordered and interpreted by a Dermatologist in our Genetics department.
Pre Test Information
Before undergoing the GJC2 Gene Lymphedema hereditary type IC Genetic Test, it is important to provide a clinical history of the patient. Additionally, a Genetic Counselling session will be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by GJC2 Gene Lymphedema hereditary type IC.
Conclusion
Genetic testing for hereditary lymphedema can provide valuable information for diagnosis, risk prediction, and treatment decisions. It is crucial to have the test ordered and interpreted by a qualified healthcare professional, such as a geneticist or genetic counselor, who can provide appropriate counseling and guidance based on the results.

Test Details |
The GJC2 gene is associated with a type of hereditary lymphedema called hereditary lymphedema type IC (also known as lymphedema, hereditary, IC). This condition is characterized by swelling in the limbs due to impaired lymphatic drainage. NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a technique used to analyze multiple genes simultaneously, providing a comprehensive view of an individual’s genetic makeup. In the context of hereditary lymphedema, NGS genetic testing can be used to identify mutations or variations in the GJC2 gene that may be responsible for the development of the condition. By analyzing the GJC2 gene using NGS, healthcare professionals can determine if there are any genetic changes or mutations present that may be causing or contributing to hereditary lymphedema type IC. This information can be useful for diagnosing the condition, predicting the risk of developing lymphedema in family members, and guiding treatment decisions. It is important to note that genetic testing for hereditary lymphedema is typically performed in a clinical setting and should be ordered and interpreted by a qualified healthcare professional, such as a geneticist or genetic counselor. They can provide appropriate counseling and guidance based on the results of the genetic test. |
