MSH2 Gene Muir-Torre syndrome Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the MSH2 Gene Muir-Torre syndrome Genetic Test for individuals who are at risk of developing Muir-Torre syndrome. This test can help with early detection, risk assessment, and management strategies for this hereditary cancer syndrome.
Test Details
The MSH2 gene is responsible for coding a protein involved in DNA repair. Mutations in this gene can lead to Muir-Torre syndrome, a condition characterized by an increased risk of developing certain types of cancer.
Individuals with Muir-Torre syndrome have a higher likelihood of developing colorectal cancer, sebaceous tumors (a type of skin cancer), endometrial cancer, ovarian cancer, and urinary tract cancers.
Our MSH2 Gene Muir-Torre syndrome Genetic Test utilizes Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology. NGS allows for the simultaneous sequencing of multiple genes or the entire genome, making it a powerful tool for genetic testing.
During the test, we will sequence the MSH2 gene, as well as other genes known to be associated with Muir-Torre syndrome. This will help us identify any potential mutations or variants that may increase an individual’s risk of developing cancer.
Components and Price
The cost of the MSH2 Gene Muir-Torre syndrome Genetic Test is AED 4400.0. The test can be performed on blood samples, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card.
Report Delivery and Method
Once the test is conducted, the report will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks. Our laboratory utilizes NGS technology for accurate and reliable results.
Referring Doctor and Test Department
The MSH2 Gene Muir-Torre syndrome Genetic Test is recommended by oncologists. The test is conducted in our Genetics department.
Pre Test Information
Prior to the test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient who is going for the MSH2 Gene Muir-Torre syndrome NGS Genetic DNA Test. Additionally, a genetic counseling session will be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by Muir-Torre syndrome.
By understanding the patient’s history and analyzing the genetic information, we can provide personalized recommendations and guidance for managing the risk of Muir-Torre syndrome.
Don’t wait until it’s too late. Take control of your health and get tested for Muir-Torre syndrome today.

| Test Details |
The MSH2 gene is a gene that codes for a protein involved in DNA repair. Mutations in the MSH2 gene can lead to a condition called Muir-Torre syndrome. Muir-Torre syndrome is a hereditary cancer syndrome characterized by an increased risk of developing certain types of cancer, particularly colorectal cancer and certain types of skin cancer called sebaceous tumors. Other cancers that can be associated with Muir-Torre syndrome include endometrial cancer, ovarian cancer, and urinary tract cancers. NGS stands for Next-Generation Sequencing, which is a high-throughput DNA sequencing technology. NGS allows for the simultaneous sequencing of multiple genes or the entire genome, making it a powerful tool for genetic testing. A genetic test for Muir-Torre syndrome using NGS would involve sequencing the MSH2 gene, as well as other genes known to be associated with the syndrome, to identify any potential mutations or variants that may increase the individual’s risk of developing cancer. This type of test can help with early detection, risk assessment, and management strategies for individuals at risk for Muir-Torre syndrome. |
