HPD Gene Hawkinsinuria Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the HPD Gene Hawkinsinuria Genetic Test at a cost of AED 4400.0.
Test Details
The HPD gene Hawkinsinuria NGS genetic test is a type of genetic test that analyzes the HPD gene for mutations associated with Hawkinsinuria. Hawkinsinuria is a rare metabolic disorder characterized by the inability to break down the amino acid tyrosine properly, leading to the buildup of a toxic compound called hawkinsin.
The HPD gene provides instructions for producing an enzyme called 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase, which is involved in the breakdown of tyrosine. Mutations in the HPD gene can impair the function of this enzyme, leading to the accumulation of hawkinsin and the development of Hawkinsinuria.
NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) is a high-throughput DNA sequencing technology that allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes. In the case of the HPD gene Hawkinsinuria NGS genetic test, NGS technology is used to sequence and analyze the entire HPD gene for any mutations or genetic variants that may be associated with Hawkinsinuria.
This genetic test can help diagnose Hawkinsinuria in individuals with symptoms suggestive of the condition and can also be used for carrier testing in individuals with a family history of the disorder. Early diagnosis through genetic testing can enable appropriate management and treatment of Hawkinsinuria.
