MLH1 Gene Muir-Torre syndrome Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the MLH1 Gene Muir-Torre syndrome Genetic Test to help individuals assess their risk of developing certain types of cancer, particularly colorectal cancer and certain skin tumors.
Test Details
The MLH1 gene is a human gene that provides instructions for making a protein called DNA mismatch repair protein Mlh1. This protein is involved in the repair of mistakes that occur during DNA replication. Mutations in the MLH1 gene can lead to a condition called Muir-Torre syndrome.
Muir-Torre syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by an increased risk of developing certain types of cancer, including colorectal cancer, sebaceous adenomas, sebaceous carcinomas, and keratoacanthomas. Individuals with Muir-Torre syndrome may also have an increased risk of endometrial cancer, ovarian cancer, and urinary tract cancer.
Our MLH1 Gene Muir-Torre syndrome Genetic Test utilizes Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology. NGS allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes, including the MLH1 gene. By identifying mutations or variations in the MLH1 gene, this testing method can provide valuable information for assessing an individual’s risk of developing cancer and implementing appropriate surveillance and management strategies.

Pre Test Information
Prior to undergoing the MLH1 Gene Muir-Torre syndrome Genetic Test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient. Additionally, a genetic counseling session may be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by Muir-Torre syndrome. This will help in the interpretation of the test results and provide appropriate counseling and recommendations based on the individual’s specific situation.
Please note that genetic testing for Muir-Torre syndrome should always be done under the guidance of a healthcare professional, such as a genetic counselor or geneticist, who can help interpret the results and provide appropriate counseling and recommendations.
