MMP2 Gene Multicentric osteolysis nodulosis and arthropathy Genetic Test
Are you or a loved one experiencing symptoms such as progressive bone loss, formation of small nodules under the skin, and joint abnormalities? It could be a rare genetic disorder called multicentric osteolysis, nodulosis, and arthropathy (MONA). At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the MMP2 Gene Multicentric osteolysis nodulosis and arthropathy Genetic Test to help diagnose this condition.
Test Details
The MMP2 gene, also known as matrix metalloproteinase 2, is responsible for encoding an enzyme involved in the breakdown of extracellular matrix components. Mutations in the MMP2 gene have been linked to MONA. MONA is characterized by progressive bone loss, particularly in the hands and feet, the formation of small nodules under the skin, and joint abnormalities such as stiffness, swelling, and limited range of motion.
Our genetic test utilizes Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, which allows us to analyze multiple genes simultaneously. In the context of MONA, NGS can identify mutations in the MMP2 gene, aiding in the diagnosis of this condition.
Test Components and Price
Our MMP2 Gene Multicentric osteolysis nodulosis and arthropathy Genetic Test is priced at 4400.0 AED. The sample condition required for testing is either blood, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card. The test report will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks.
Referring and Doctor Information
This genetic test is typically referred by dermatologists and falls under the Genetics department. It is essential to provide the clinical history of the patient going for the MMP2 Gene Multicentric osteolysis nodulosis and arthropathy Genetic Test. A genetic counseling session will also be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by this condition.
Benefits and Implications
By identifying the specific genetic mutation causing MONA, our NGS genetic testing can provide important information for genetic counseling and family planning. It can also aid in the management and treatment of the condition by guiding personalized therapies and interventions.
It is important to note that NGS genetic testing should be performed by healthcare professionals with expertise in genetics and genetic counseling. They can provide detailed information about the test, its limitations, and the implications of the results.
Don’t let the symptoms of MONA go undiagnosed. Contact DNA Labs UAE today to schedule your MMP2 Gene Multicentric osteolysis nodulosis and arthropathy Genetic Test and take control of your genetic health.

MMP2 gene, also known as matrix metalloproteinase 2, is a gene that codes for an enzyme involved in the breakdown of extracellular matrix components. Mutations in the MMP2 gene have been associated with a rare genetic disorder called multicentric osteolysis, nodulosis, and arthropathy (MONA). MONA is characterized by progressive bone loss (osteolysis) affecting multiple bones, particularly the hands and feet. Nodulosis refers to the formation of small nodules under the skin, typically on the hands and feet. Arthropathy refers to joint abnormalities, such as stiffness, swelling, and limited range of motion. NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a type of genetic test that can analyze multiple genes simultaneously. In the context of MONA, NGS can be used to identify mutations in the MMP2 gene, helping in the diagnosis of this condition.
