NPHS2 Gene Nephrotic Syndrome Genetic Test
Welcome to DNA Labs UAE, where we offer the NPHS2 Gene Nephrotic Syndrome Genetic Test. This test is designed to analyze the NPHS2 gene and identify any genetic variations or mutations that may be associated with nephrotic syndrome.
Test Details
The NPHS2 gene encodes for a protein called podocin, which is a crucial component of the filtration barrier in the kidneys. Mutations in this gene can lead to nephrotic syndrome, a kidney disorder characterized by excessive protein loss in the urine, low protein levels in the blood, high cholesterol levels, and swelling in various parts of the body.
Our NPHS2 Gene Nephrotic Syndrome Genetic Test utilizes NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology to analyze multiple genes simultaneously, including the NPHS2 gene. This advanced genetic testing method involves sequencing the DNA of an individual to identify any genetic variations or mutations that may be present.
Test Components and Price
The NPHS2 Gene Nephrotic Syndrome Genetic Test is priced at 4400.0 AED. The test can be performed using a blood sample, extracted DNA, or just one drop of blood on an FTA card.
Report Delivery and Test Type
Once the sample is received, the report will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks. The NPHS2 Gene Nephrotic Syndrome Genetic Test falls under the Hepatology, Nephrology, and Endocrinology Disorders category.
Referring Doctor and Test Department
This test can be requested by a General Physician and is conducted in our Genetics department.
Pre Test Information
Prior to undergoing the NPHS2 Gene Nephrotic Syndrome Genetic Test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient. Additionally, a Genetic Counselling session will be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by NPHS2 Gene Nephrotic Syndrome NGS Genetic DNA Test gene NPHS2.
Benefits of the Test
The NPHS2 Gene Nephrotic Syndrome Genetic Test can help diagnose the underlying genetic cause of nephrotic syndrome, providing valuable information about the specific genetic mutation present in the NPHS2 gene. This information is essential for determining the appropriate treatment and management strategies for individuals with nephrotic syndrome. It can also aid in genetic counseling and predicting the risk of passing on the condition to future generations.

| Test Details | The NPHS2 gene is a gene that encodes for a protein called podocin. Podocin is an important component of the filtration barrier in the kidneys. Mutations in the NPHS2 gene can lead to a condition called nephrotic syndrome. Nephrotic syndrome is a kidney disorder characterized by excessive protein loss in the urine, low levels of protein in the blood, high cholesterol levels, and swelling (edema) in various parts of the body. It can be caused by a variety of genetic and non-genetic factors. NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a type of genetic test that can be used to analyze multiple genes simultaneously, including the NPHS2 gene. It involves sequencing the DNA of an individual to identify any genetic variations or mutations that may be associated with a particular condition, such as nephrotic syndrome. NGS genetic testing can help in diagnosing the underlying genetic cause of nephrotic syndrome, providing information about the specific genetic mutation present in the NPHS2 gene. This information can be useful for determining the appropriate treatment and management strategies for individuals with nephrotic syndrome.
