MYH9 Gene Epstein Syndrome Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the MYH9 Gene Epstein Syndrome Genetic Test at a cost of AED 4400.0.
Test Details
The MYH9 gene is associated with Epstein syndrome, a rare genetic disorder characterized by a range of symptoms including macrothrombocytopenia (low platelet count with large platelets), nephropathy (kidney disease), hearing loss, and cataracts.
NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a technique used to analyze multiple genes simultaneously for genetic variations or mutations. In the case of Epstein syndrome, NGS can be used to identify mutations or variations in the MYH9 gene that may be responsible for the disorder.
NGS genetic testing for Epstein syndrome involves obtaining a DNA sample, typically through a blood sample or extracted DNA, or even one drop of blood on an FTA card. The sample condition should be in good condition for accurate results.
The DNA sample is then sequenced using NGS technology, which allows for the detection of genetic variations or mutations in the MYH9 gene.
Report delivery typically takes 3 to 4 weeks.
Test Type and Doctor
The MYH9 Gene Epstein Syndrome Genetic Test falls under the Hepatology, Nephrology, and Endocrinology Disorders category. It is recommended to consult with a General Physician for this test.
Test Department
The MYH9 Gene Epstein Syndrome Genetic Test is conducted in our Genetics department.
Pre Test Information
Before undergoing the MYH9 Gene Epstein Syndrome Genetic Test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient. A Genetic Counselling session may be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with MYH9 Gene Epstein Syndrome Genetic Test gene MYH9.
Benefits of the Test
By identifying specific mutations or variations in the MYH9 gene, NGS genetic testing can help confirm a diagnosis of Epstein syndrome and provide valuable information for genetic counseling, family planning, and potential treatment options. It can also aid in understanding the underlying mechanisms of the disorder and contribute to ongoing research efforts.
