Nx GEN SEQUENCING MATURITY ONSET DIABETES OF YOUNG MODY Test
Are you or someone you know at risk for Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young (MODY)? DNA Labs UAE offers the Nx GEN SEQUENCING MATURITY ONSET DIABETES OF YOUNG MODY Test to help diagnose this rare form of diabetes. In this blog, we will discuss the test cost, symptoms, diagnosis, and other important details.
Test Details
Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young (MODY) is a rare form of diabetes that is caused by a mutation in a single gene. It is often misdiagnosed as type 1 or type 2 diabetes, but it is crucial to identify MODY correctly for proper treatment and management. The Nx Gen Sequencing MODY Test uses next-generation sequencing technology to analyze a panel of genes associated with MODY, including ABCC8, AKT2, APPL1, BLK, CEL, CISD2, EIF2AK3, FOXP3, GCK, GLIS3, GLUD1, HADH, HNF1A, HNF1B, HNF4A, IER3IP1, INS, INSR, KCNJ11, KLF11, MNX1, NEUROD1, NKX2-2, NKX6-1, PAX4, PDX1, PTF1A, RFX6, SLC2A2, and WFS1.
Test Cost
The cost of the Nx GEN SEQUENCING MATURITY ONSET DIABETES OF YOUNG MODY Test is AED 5620.0.
Symptoms and Diagnosis
MODY presents with symptoms similar to type 1 or type 2 diabetes. These symptoms may include increased thirst, frequent urination, unexplained weight loss, fatigue, and blurred vision. However, it is important to note that MODY can be misdiagnosed as these more common forms of diabetes. To accurately diagnose MODY, a blood sample is required. The sample should be 4 mL (2 mL min.) of whole blood collected in 1 Lavender Top (EDTA) tube. The sample should be shipped refrigerated and must not be frozen. Additionally, a duly filled Genomics Clinical Information Requisition Form (Form 20) is mandatory for the test.
Report Delivery
The report for the Nx GEN SEQUENCING MATURITY ONSET DIABETES OF YOUNG MODY Test is typically delivered within 30 working days.
Method and Test Type
The Nx Gen Sequencing MODY Test utilizes Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to analyze the genes associated with MODY. This advanced sequencing method allows for the identification of specific gene mutations that may be causing the condition.
Doctor and Test Department
The Nx GEN SEQUENCING MATURITY ONSET DIABETES OF YOUNG MODY Test is typically ordered by an Endocrinologist. The test is performed in the Molecular Diagnostics department of DNA Labs UAE.
Pre Test Information
Prior to undergoing the Nx GEN SEQUENCING MATURITY ONSET DIABETES OF YOUNG MODY Test, it is essential to complete the Genomics Clinical Information Requisition Form (Form 20). This form is mandatory and must be duly filled.
Conclusion
The Nx Gen Sequencing MODY Test offered by DNA Labs UAE is a valuable tool for the diagnosis and management of Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young. By identifying the specific gene mutation causing the condition, healthcare providers can tailor treatment plans to better suit the individual patient. This test provides important information for patients and their healthcare providers, helping them make informed decisions regarding treatment and management of this rare form of diabetes.

Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young (MODY) is a rare form of diabetes that is caused by a mutation in a single gene. The condition is often misdiagnosed as type 1 or type 2 diabetes, but it is important to identify MODY correctly as it can have implications for treatment and management of the condition. Nx Gen Sequencing offers a MODY test that uses next-generation sequencing technology to identify mutations in the genes that are associated with MODY. The test analyzes a panel of genes that are known to be associated with the condition, including HNF1A, HNF4A, GCK, and others. The test is performed on a blood sample and results are typically available within a few weeks. The test can identify the specific gene mutation that is causing the MODY, which can help guide treatment and management of the condition. For example, some forms of MODY may respond better to certain medications than others. Overall, the Nx Gen Sequencing MODY test can provide important information for patients and their healthcare providers in the diagnosis and management of this rare form of diabetes. |
