IL12A Gene Interleukin 12A deficiency Genetic Test
Cost: AED 4400.0
Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Test Details
The IL12A Gene Interleukin 12A deficiency Genetic Test is a genetic test offered by DNA Labs UAE. This test aims to identify any deficiencies in the IL12A gene, also known as the Interleukin 12A gene. The IL12A gene is responsible for producing the Interleukin-12 (IL-12) protein, which plays a crucial role in the immune response.
Individuals with a deficiency in the IL12A gene may have an impaired immune response, making them more susceptible to infections, especially those caused by mycobacteria. Symptoms of IL12A deficiency can include recurrent or severe infections.
The IL12A Gene Interleukin 12A deficiency Genetic Test utilizes NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology to analyze the DNA sequence of the IL12A gene. This comprehensive genetic test can identify any mutations or variants in the IL12A gene that may be associated with IL12A deficiency.

Doctor and Pre-Test Information
The IL12A Gene Interleukin 12A deficiency Genetic Test is performed by a Dermatologist. Prior to the test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient who is going for the test. Additionally, a Genetic Counselling session may be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by IL12A Gene Interleukin 12A deficiency NGS Genetic DNA Test gene IL12A.
Benefits and Applications of Genetic Testing
Genetic testing for IL12A deficiency can provide important information for healthcare providers and individuals affected by the condition. It can help guide treatment decisions, provide information on the risk of infection, and offer reproductive options for affected individuals and their families.
Furthermore, genetic testing can be used to confirm a diagnosis in individuals suspected of having IL12A deficiency. It can also be used for carrier testing in individuals with a family history of the condition and for prenatal testing in families at risk of having a child with IL12A deficiency.
Consultation and Considerations
It is important to consult with a healthcare professional or a genetic counselor to fully understand the benefits, limitations, and implications of genetic testing. They can provide guidance and support throughout the testing process.

| Test Details |
IL12A gene, also known as Interleukin 12A gene, codes for the production of the Interleukin-12 (IL-12) protein. IL-12 is a cytokine that plays a crucial role in the immune response by promoting the production of other immune cells, such as T cells and natural killer cells. Deficiency in the IL12A gene can lead to an impaired immune response, making individuals more susceptible to infections, particularly mycobacterial infections. IL12A deficiency is a rare genetic disorder that can present with symptoms such as recurrent or severe infections, particularly those caused by mycobacteria. NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a method used to analyze the DNA sequence of genes, including the IL12A gene. This type of genetic test can identify mutations or variants in the IL12A gene that may be associated with IL12A deficiency. NGS testing allows for a comprehensive analysis of the entire gene, providing a detailed understanding of any genetic changes that may be present. NGS genetic testing for IL12A deficiency can be used to confirm a diagnosis in individuals suspected of having the disorder. It can also be used for carrier testing in individuals with a family history of IL12A deficiency, as well as for prenatal testing in families at risk of having a child with the condition. Genetic testing can provide important information for healthcare providers and individuals affected by IL12A deficiency. It can help guide treatment decisions, provide information on the risk of infection, and offer reproductive options for affected individuals and their families. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional or a genetic counselor to understand the benefits, limitations, and implications of genetic testing. |
