The PDX1 Gene Maturity-onset Diabetes of the Young Type 4 (MODY4) Genetic Test is a specialized diagnostic tool available at DNA Labs UAE, designed to identify mutations in the PDX1 gene. These mutations are responsible for causing Maturity-onset Diabetes of the Young Type 4, a rare form of diabetes that typically manifests during adolescence or early adulthood. Unlike the more common types of diabetes, MODY4 is characterized by its monogenic nature, meaning it results from mutations in a single gene.

This genetic test is crucial for individuals with a family history of MODY4 or those presenting with symptoms suggestive of this condition, as it allows for precise diagnosis, enabling targeted management and treatment strategies. The process involves collecting a DNA sample, usually through a blood draw or cheek swab, which is then analyzed for specific genetic alterations in the PDX1 gene.

At DNA Labs UAE, the cost of the PDX1 Gene Maturity-onset Diabetes of the Young Type 4 Genetic Test is set at 4400 AED. The test is conducted under stringent quality controls and is interpreted by experts in the field, ensuring accurate and reliable results. Identifying the presence of a PDX1 gene mutation not only confirms the diagnosis of MODY4 but also facilitates genetic counseling and the assessment of risk for family members, guiding decisions regarding monitoring and intervention to manage the condition effectively.

Description

PDX1 Gene Maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 4 Genetic Test

Test Name: PDX1 Gene Maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 4 Genetic Test

Components: NGS Technology

Price: 4400.0 AED

Sample Condition: Blood or Extracted DNA or One drop Blood on FTA Card

Report Delivery: 3 to 4 Weeks

Test Type: Metabolic Disorders

Doctor: General Physician

Test Department: Genetics

Pre Test Information: Clinical History of Patient who is going for PDX1 Gene Maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 4 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 4.

Test Details: The PDX1 gene is responsible for producing a protein called pancreatic and duodenal homeobox 1, which plays a crucial role in the development and function of the pancreas. Mutations in the PDX1 gene can lead to a genetic condition called maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 4 (MODY4). MODY4 is a form of diabetes that typically begins in adolescence or early adulthood. It is characterized by impaired insulin secretion, resulting in high blood sugar levels. Individuals with MODY4 often have a family history of diabetes and may not require insulin treatment.

NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a method used to analyze multiple genes simultaneously to identify mutations or variations that may be associated with a particular condition. In the case of MODY4, NGS genetic testing can be used to identify mutations in the PDX1 gene that may be causing the disease. By identifying the specific genetic mutation responsible for MODY4, NGS genetic testing can provide valuable information for diagnosis, prognosis, and personalized treatment options. It can also help determine the risk of passing the condition on to future generations.
