PAX4 Gene Maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 9 Genetic Test
Test Details
The PAX4 gene is a gene that provides instructions for making a protein called PAX4 transcription factor. This protein plays a crucial role in the development and function of beta cells in the pancreas, which are responsible for producing and regulating the release of insulin.
Maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 9 (MODY9) is a rare form of diabetes that is caused by mutations in the PAX4 gene. These mutations disrupt the normal function of the PAX4 protein, leading to impaired insulin production and secretion.
MODY9 is typically characterized by early-onset diabetes, often before the age of 25, and is usually inherited in an autosomal dominant manner, meaning that a mutation in only one copy of the PAX4 gene is sufficient to cause the condition.

Pre Test Information
Clinical History of Patient who is going for PAX4 Gene Maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 9 NGS Genetic DNA Test
A Genetic Counselling session to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with Maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 9
Test Details
NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a type of genetic testing that uses advanced sequencing technologies to analyze multiple genes simultaneously. In the context of MODY9, NGS genetic testing can be used to identify mutations in the PAX4 gene that are associated with the condition.
This testing can help confirm a diagnosis of MODY9 in individuals with suspected or early-onset diabetes and can also be used for genetic counseling and family planning purposes.
It is important to note that genetic testing for MODY9 and other forms of MODY should be performed by healthcare professionals with expertise in genetic testing and interpretation, as the results can have significant implications for patient management and treatment decisions.
