The LTBP2 Gene Glaucoma primary type 3D Genetic Test is priced at 4400.0 AED. The test requires a blood sample or extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card. The report delivery time is 3 to 4 weeks. The test is conducted using NGS technology.
Test Type and Doctor
The LTBP2 Gene Glaucoma primary type 3D Genetic Test falls under the category of Ophthalmology Disorders. It is conducted by our experienced Ophthalmologist in the Genetics department.
Pre Test Information
Before undergoing the LTBP2 Gene Glaucoma primary type 3D Genetic Test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient. Additionally, a genetic counseling session will be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with LTBP2 Gene Glaucoma, primary type 3D NGS Genetic DNA Test gene LTBP2.
About LTBP2 Gene Glaucoma
The LTBP2 gene is associated with primary type 3D glaucoma, a rare form of glaucoma that usually starts in childhood or adolescence. This condition is characterized by elevated intraocular pressure, which can lead to optic nerve damage and vision loss if left untreated.
About NGS Genetic Testing
NGS genetic testing is a type of genetic testing that utilizes next-generation sequencing technology to analyze a patient’s DNA. This advanced testing method can identify variations or mutations in the LTBP2 gene that may be linked to primary type 3D glaucoma.
Considering Genetic Testing
Genetic testing can be beneficial for individuals with a family history of glaucoma or those experiencing symptoms. However, it is essential to consult with a healthcare provider or genetic counselor to determine if the test is appropriate. They can also provide information about the potential risks, benefits, and limitations of testing.
