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.
