IKBKG Gene Incontinentia pigmenti type 2 Genetic Test
Cost: AED 4400.0
Symptoms and Diagnosis
Incontinentia pigmenti type 2 (IP2), also known as hypomelanosis of Ito, is a rare genetic disorder characterized by skin abnormalities, intellectual disability, and developmental delays. To diagnose IP2, a genetic test for the IKBKG gene is conducted.
Test Details
The IKBKG gene is associated with Incontinentia pigmenti type 2. Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology is used for this genetic test. NGS allows for the analysis of multiple genes simultaneously.
Components and Price
The cost of the IKBKG Gene Incontinentia pigmenti type 2 Genetic Test is AED 4400.0. The test requires a blood or extracted DNA sample, or one drop of blood on an FTA card.
Report Delivery
The test results will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks.
Method
The IKBKG Gene Incontinentia pigmenti type 2 Genetic Test utilizes NGS technology for sequencing.
Test Type
The test falls under the categories of Osteology, Dermatology, and Immunology Disorders.
Doctor and Test Department
The test is conducted by a Dermatologist and falls under the Genetics department.
Pre Test Information
Prior to the test, a clinical history of the patient is required. Additionally, a Genetic Counselling session may be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by the IKBKG Gene Incontinentia pigmenti type 2 NGS Genetic DNA Test.
It is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional or genetic counselor to understand the benefits, limitations, and implications of the genetic test for IP2 before undergoing the test.

Test Details |
The IKBKG gene is associated with Incontinentia pigmenti type 2 (IP2), also known as hypomelanosis of Ito. IP2 is a rare genetic disorder characterized by skin abnormalities, intellectual disability, and developmental delays. NGS stands for Next-Generation Sequencing, which is a high-throughput DNA sequencing technology used to analyze multiple genes simultaneously. In the context of genetic testing for IP2, NGS can be used to identify mutations or variants in the IKBKG gene that may be causing the condition. Genetic testing for IP2 using NGS involves obtaining a DNA sample, usually through a blood or saliva sample, from the individual suspected of having the condition. The DNA is then sequenced using NGS technology to identify any genetic variations or mutations in the IKBKG gene. The results of the test can help confirm a diagnosis of IP2 and provide valuable information for genetic counseling and management of the condition. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional or a genetic counselor to discuss the benefits, limitations, and implications of genetic testing for IP2 before undergoing the test. |
