HOXB13 Gene Prostate Cancer Familial Association with Genetic Test
Genetic testing plays a crucial role in the early detection, screening, and personalized treatment plans for prostate cancer. One such test is the HOXB13 Gene Prostate Cancer Familial Association with Genetic Test offered by DNA Labs UAE.
Test Name: HOXB13 Gene Prostate Cancer Familial Association with Genetic Test
Test Components:
- Price: 4400.0 AED
- Sample Condition: Blood or Extracted DNA or One drop Blood on FTA Card
- Report Delivery: 3 to 4 Weeks
- Method: NGS Technology
- Test Type: Cancer
- Doctor: Oncologist
- Test Department: Genetics
Pre Test Information:
Prior to undergoing the HOXB13 Gene Prostate Cancer Familial Association with Genetic Test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient. Additionally, a genetic counseling session will be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by the HOXB13 Gene Prostate Cancer Familial Association with NGS Genetic DNA Test gene HOXB13.
Test Details:
The HOXB13 gene has been associated with familial prostate cancer, a type of prostate cancer that tends to run in families. It accounts for about 5-10% of all prostate cancer cases. The Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology is utilized in this genetic testing method, allowing for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes, including HOXB13. This helps in identifying genetic variants or mutations that may increase the risk of developing prostate cancer.
NGS provides a comprehensive evaluation of an individual’s genetic profile, aiding in the identification of potential risk factors for prostate cancer, including familial forms. Genetic testing for the HOXB13 gene and other genes associated with prostate cancer is beneficial in identifying individuals with an increased risk of developing the disease.
It is important to note that not all individuals with genetic variants in the HOXB13 gene will develop prostate cancer, and not all cases of prostate cancer can be attributed to genetic factors. Therefore, if you have a family history of prostate cancer or are concerned about your risk, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional or genetic counselor. They can provide personalized guidance on genetic testing options and interpretation of results.
