The KEL gene hemolytic anemia Kell-system related genetic test is a specialized diagnostic procedure offered at DNA Labs UAE, designed to identify mutations in the KEL gene that are associated with hemolytic anemia within the Kell blood group system. Hemolytic anemia is a condition characterized by the premature destruction of red blood cells, leading to a myriad of health issues, including fatigue, weakness, and more severe complications if left untreated. The Kell blood group system plays a crucial role in this context, as specific genetic variations can trigger the immune system to attack red blood cells.

This test is crucial for individuals suspected of having hemolytic anemia related to the Kell blood group system or for those with a family history of the condition, aiming to provide a definitive diagnosis. By analyzing the DNA for specific mutations in the KEL gene, healthcare providers can better understand the condition’s nature and tailor treatment plans to manage symptoms effectively and prevent complications.

The test is priced at 4400 AED and is conducted at DNA Labs UAE, a facility known for its state-of-the-art technology and expertise in genetic diagnostics. The cost reflects the comprehensive nature of the test, encompassing the intricate processes of DNA extraction, amplification, and sequencing, followed by a detailed analysis to identify any genetic abnormalities linked to hemolytic anemia within the Kell system.

For patients and families facing the challenges of hemolytic anemia, this genetic test offers a path to gaining crucial insights into their condition, enabling informed decisions about their health management and treatment options.
