HNF1A Gene Diabetes mellitus insulin-dependent type 20 Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the HNF1A Gene Diabetes mellitus insulin-dependent type 20 Genetic Test at a cost of 4400.0 AED. This test is used to diagnose and identify genetic variations or mutations in the HNF1A gene associated with maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) type 3.
Test Details
The HNF1A gene is associated with a form of diabetes called maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) type 3. This type of diabetes is characterized by early onset (usually before the age of 25), a strong family history of diabetes, and a relatively mild form of the disease.
The HNF1A Gene Diabetes mellitus insulin-dependent type 20 Genetic Test uses next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology to analyze the DNA sequence of the HNF1A gene. This helps identify any genetic variations or mutations that may be present, confirming a diagnosis of MODY type 3 and providing information about the specific genetic cause of the disease.
This genetic test is particularly useful for individuals with a clinical suspicion of MODY type 3, especially when the diagnosis is uncertain or when typical features of other types of diabetes are lacking. It can also be beneficial for family members of individuals with known HNF1A gene mutations, as it can identify those who may be at risk of developing diabetes in the future.
It is important to note that not all individuals with MODY type 3 will have mutations in the HNF1A gene, as there are other genes that can also cause this form of diabetes. Additionally, not all individuals with HNF1A gene mutations will develop diabetes, as there can be variability in the penetrance and expression of these mutations.

Pre Test Information
Prior to undergoing the HNF1A Gene Diabetes mellitus insulin-dependent type 20 Genetic Test, it is recommended to provide the clinical history of the patient who is going for the test. Additionally, a genetic counseling session is conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with Diabetes mellitus, insulin-dependent type 20.
If you have concerns about your risk of diabetes or if you have a family history of MODY type 3, it is highly recommended to consult with a healthcare professional or a genetic counselor who can provide more information and guidance regarding genetic testing options.
