The KRT1 gene plays a crucial role in the health and integrity of the skin, and mutations in this gene can lead to a condition known as Epidermolytic Hyperkeratosis (EHK). EHK is a rare genetic skin disorder characterized by blistering and thickening of the skin. It usually manifests at birth or in early childhood and can vary in severity. The condition arises due to mutations affecting the keratin proteins in the skin, which are crucial for its strength and resilience.

To diagnose this condition accurately, a genetic test targeting the KRT1 gene can be performed. This test involves analyzing the DNA to identify mutations in the KRT1 gene that are known to cause Epidermolytic Hyperkeratosis. It is a critical step for affected individuals or families with a history of the condition, as it helps in confirming the diagnosis, understanding the risk of passing the condition to offspring, and guiding management and treatment strategies.

In the UAE, this specific genetic test for the KRT1 gene mutation associated with Epidermolytic Hyperkeratosis is available at DNA Labs UAE. The cost of the test is 4400 AED. The test is conducted in a state-of-the-art laboratory setting by professionals who specialize in genetic analyses. Results from this test can provide crucial information for affected individuals and their families, guiding them towards appropriate medical care and support.

Pre Test Information: Clinical History of Patient who is going for KRT1 Gene Epidermolytic hyperkeratosis NGS Genetic DNA Test. A Genetic Counselling session to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with KRT1 Gene Epidermolytic hyperkeratosis NGS Genetic DNA Test gene KRT1

Test Details: The KRT1 gene is responsible for providing instructions to make a protein called keratin 1, which is important for the structure and function of the skin. Mutations in the KRT1 gene can cause a rare genetic disorder called epidermolytic hyperkeratosis. Epidermolytic hyperkeratosis is an inherited condition characterized by thick, scaly skin that is prone to blistering and peeling. The condition typically appears shortly after birth or in early childhood and can affect large areas of the body. Other symptoms may include redness, itching, and increased sensitivity to heat.

NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a type of genetic test that can analyze multiple genes simultaneously. In the case of epidermolytic hyperkeratosis, NGS genetic testing can be used to identify mutations in the KRT1 gene, as well as other genes that may be associated with the condition. NGS genetic testing involves sequencing the DNA of an individual to identify any changes or mutations in specific genes. This can help in diagnosing epidermolytic hyperkeratosis and determining the genetic cause of the condition. It can also be used for carrier testing, prenatal testing, and to provide information about the risk of passing the condition to future generations.

It is important to note that genetic testing should be done under the guidance of a healthcare professional or genetic counselor who can help interpret the results and provide appropriate counseling and support.
