PHKB Gene Glycogen Storage Disease Type 9B Genetic Test
Test Name: PHKB Gene Glycogen Storage Disease Type 9B 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

Pre Test Information: Clinical History of Patient who is going for PHKB Gene Glycogen Storage Disease Type 9B NGS Genetic DNA Test. A Genetic Counselling session to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with Glycogen Storage Disease Type 9B.
Test Details
The PHKB gene is associated with glycogen storage disease type 9B (GSD9B). GSD9B is a rare genetic disorder characterized by an inability to break down glycogen, leading to the accumulation of glycogen in various tissues, particularly in the liver and muscles.
NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a technique used to analyze multiple genes simultaneously and detect genetic variations or mutations that may be associated with a particular condition, such as GSD9B. This type of testing can provide a comprehensive analysis of the PHKB gene and other relevant genes involved in glycogen metabolism.
NGS genetic testing for GSD9B typically involves obtaining a DNA sample, usually through a blood sample or cheek swab, and sequencing the relevant genes. The obtained genetic data is then analyzed to identify any variations or mutations that may be causative or associated with GSD9B.
This type of genetic testing can help diagnose GSD9B in individuals with symptoms suggestive of the condition, confirm a suspected diagnosis, or identify carriers of the condition in families with a history of GSD9B. It can also provide valuable information for genetic counseling and family planning.
It is important to consult with a healthcare professional or a genetic counselor to discuss the appropriateness and availability of NGS genetic testing for GSD9B in individual cases.
