NKX2-5 Gene Atrial Septal Defect with Atrioventricular Conduction Defects Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the NKX2-5 Gene Atrial Septal Defect with Atrioventricular Conduction Defects Genetic Test. This test helps in diagnosing individuals with atrial septal defect and atrioventricular conduction defects. The test is performed using NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology, which allows for a comprehensive analysis of an individual’s genetic makeup.
Test Details
The NKX2-5 gene is responsible for producing a protein called homeobox protein Nkx-2.5, which plays a crucial role in the development and function of the heart. Atrial septal defect (ASD) is a congenital heart defect characterized by an abnormal opening in the wall that separates the two upper chambers of the heart. This opening allows blood to flow between the atria, leading to various complications.
Atrioventricular conduction defects refer to abnormalities in the electrical conduction system of the heart, which can disrupt the coordination of the heart’s contractions. By analyzing the NKX2-5 gene through NGS genetic testing, we can identify any genetic variations or mutations that may be associated with these conditions.
Test Components and Price
The NKX2-5 Gene Atrial Septal Defect with Atrioventricular Conduction Defects Genetic Test costs AED 4400.0. The test can be performed using blood or extracted DNA, or just one drop of blood on an FTA card.
Report Delivery and Method
Once the test is performed, the report will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks. The method used for this test is NGS technology, which allows for a comprehensive analysis of multiple genes simultaneously.
Test Type and Doctor
The NKX2-5 Gene Atrial Septal Defect with Atrioventricular Conduction Defects Genetic Test falls under the category of dysmorphology. This test is recommended for pediatric patients and is conducted by our team of experienced pediatric doctors.
Test Department and Pre-Test Information
The test is conducted in our Genetics department. Before undergoing the NKX2-5 Gene Atrial Septal Defect with Atrioventricular Conduction Defects 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 by these conditions.
Conclusion
The NKX2-5 Gene Atrial Septal Defect with Atrioventricular Conduction Defects Genetic Test offered by DNA Labs UAE is a valuable tool for diagnosing individuals with atrial septal defect and atrioventricular conduction defects. Through NGS genetic testing, we can identify any genetic variations or mutations in the NKX2-5 gene, allowing for personalized treatment and management strategies. If you suspect that you or your family members may be affected by these conditions, we encourage you to consider this genetic test.

Test Details |
The NKX2-5 gene is a gene that provides instructions for making a protein called homeobox protein Nkx-2.5. This protein is involved in the development and function of the heart. Atrial septal defect (ASD) is a congenital heart defect where there is an abnormal opening in the wall that separates the two upper chambers of the heart (atria). This opening allows blood to flow between the atria, which can lead to various complications. Atrioventricular conduction defects refer to abnormalities in the electrical conduction system of the heart, which can cause problems with the coordination of the heart’s contractions. NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a type of genetic testing that can analyze multiple genes simultaneously, providing a comprehensive analysis of an individual’s genetic makeup. In the context of the NKX2-5 gene, NGS genetic testing can be used to identify any genetic variations or mutations in the NKX2-5 gene that may be associated with atrial septal defect and atrioventricular conduction defects. By identifying these genetic variations, NGS genetic testing can help in diagnosing individuals with these conditions, predicting the risk of developing these conditions in family members, and guiding personalized treatment and management strategies. |
