Pre Test Information
Before undergoing the HSD3B2 Gene 3-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency type 2 Genetic Test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient. Additionally, a genetic counseling session may be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with 3-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency type 2.
Test Details
The HSD3B2 gene is responsible for encoding the enzyme 3-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 (3-HSD2), which is crucial for the production of steroid hormones like cortisol and aldosterone. A deficiency in the HSD3B2 gene can lead to 3-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency type 2, an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by impaired steroid hormone synthesis.
To diagnose this genetic disorder, we perform a Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) genetic test. NGS is a high-throughput sequencing method that allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes. In the case of HSD3B2 gene testing, the NGS panel specifically targets the HSD3B2 gene to identify any genetic variants or mutations that may be causing the deficiency.
NGS genetic testing can provide valuable information about the presence of genetic variants in the HSD3B2 gene, which can help confirm the diagnosis of 3-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency type 2. This information can also be used for genetic counseling, family planning, and potentially guiding treatment decisions.
