KRAS MUTATION CODON 12 and 13 Test
Welcome to DNA Labs UAE, where we offer the KRAS MUTATION CODON 12 and 13 Test for cancer diagnosis. This molecular diagnostic test detects mutations in the KRAS gene, specifically in codon 12 and codon 13.
Test Details
The KRAS mutation test is a valuable tool in personalized medicine, allowing healthcare providers to tailor treatment plans to individual patients based on their specific genetic mutations. Mutations in the KRAS gene can lead to abnormal activation of cell signaling pathways, contributing to the development and progression of various cancers, including colorectal cancer, lung cancer, and pancreatic cancer.
Test Components and Cost
The KRAS MUTATION CODON 12 and 13 Test is priced at 1760.0 AED. To perform the test, we require a formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue block with at least 10% tumor tissue. Please ship the sample at room temperature. Additionally, a duly filled NGS Test Requisition Form is mandatory.
Report Delivery
Sample should be submitted by Tuesday 11 am, and the report will be delivered on Monday.
Method and Test Type
The KRAS MUTATION CODON 12 and 13 Test utilizes PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) and Fragment Analysis methods. This test falls under the category of molecular diagnostics and is commonly used in cancer patients.
Referring Doctor and Test Department
The referring doctor for this test is an Oncologist. The test is conducted in the Molecular Diagnostics department.
Pre-Test Information
Before taking the KRAS MUTATION CODON 12 and 13 Test, please ensure that the NGS Test Requisition Form is duly filled.

Test Details |
The KRAS mutation test is a molecular diagnostic test that detects mutations in the KRAS gene. Specifically, it looks for mutations in codon 12 and codon 13 of the KRAS gene. KRAS is a gene that encodes a protein involved in cell signaling pathways. Mutations in the KRAS gene can lead to abnormal activation of these signaling pathways, which can contribute to the development and progression of various cancers, including colorectal cancer, lung cancer, and pancreatic cancer. The KRAS mutation test is commonly used in cancer patients to determine if they have a specific mutation in the KRAS gene. This information is important for guiding treatment decisions, as certain targeted therapies may only be effective in patients without KRAS mutations. The test can be performed on a tissue sample, usually obtained through a biopsy or surgery. It uses various techniques, such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or next-generation sequencing (NGS), to identify specific mutations in codon 12 and codon 13 of the KRAS gene. Overall, the KRAS mutation test is a valuable tool in personalized medicine, allowing healthcare providers to tailor treatment plans to individual patients based on their specific genetic mutations. |
