The NTRK1, NTRK2, and NTRK3 test is a specialized diagnostic examination performed to detect alterations in the NTRK genes, which are critical for the development and function of the nervous system. These genes can also play a significant role in the formation and growth of certain types of cancer when they become fused with other genes, leading to the continuous activation of signaling pathways that promote tumor growth and survival. The test is particularly relevant for patients with cancers that are suspected to have NTRK gene fusions, as it can provide essential information for personalized treatment options, including the use of TRK inhibitors that specifically target these gene alterations.

Conducted at DNA Labs UAE, a leading facility in genetic diagnostics, the test involves analyzing the patient’s DNA to identify the presence of any fusions involving the NTRK1, NTRK2, and NTRK3 genes. This process employs advanced molecular techniques to ensure high sensitivity and specificity in detecting these genetic abnormalities.

The cost of the NTRK1, NTRK2, and NTRK3 test at DNA Labs UAE is set at 5400 AED. While the price may seem significant, it reflects the complexity of the test and the profound impact its results can have on the management of cancer patients. By identifying NTRK gene fusions, oncologists can tailor treatment plans to exploit these genetic vulnerabilities, potentially improving patient outcomes with targeted therapies.
