PLN Gene Cardiomyopathy dilated type 1P Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the PLN Gene Cardiomyopathy dilated type 1P Genetic Test for individuals who may be at risk of developing dilated cardiomyopathy. This genetic test analyzes the PLN gene for specific mutations associated with this condition.
Test Details
The PLN gene cardiomyopathy, dilated type 1P NGS genetic test is a comprehensive genetic test that utilizes Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology. It allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes, including the PLN gene, to identify any disease-causing mutations.
Dilated cardiomyopathy is a condition characterized by the enlargement of the heart chambers, leading to weakened heart muscle and reduced pumping ability. The PLN gene provides instructions for producing a protein called phospholamban, which regulates the calcium levels in heart muscle cells. Mutations in the PLN gene can disrupt the normal function of phospholamban, leading to impaired calcium regulation and ultimately causing dilated cardiomyopathy.
The PLN Gene Cardiomyopathy dilated type 1P Genetic Test is conducted using a blood sample or extracted DNA. Alternatively, one drop of blood can be collected on an FTA Card for the test.
Test Price and Report Delivery
The cost of the PLN Gene Cardiomyopathy dilated type 1P Genetic Test is 3200.0 AED. The test report will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks.
Test Type and Doctor
The PLN Gene Cardiomyopathy dilated type 1P Genetic Test falls under the category of Cardiovascular Pneumology Disorders. It is recommended to consult with a Cardiologist for this test.
Test Department and Pre-Test Information
The PLN Gene Cardiomyopathy dilated type 1P Genetic Test is conducted in the Genetics department. Prior to the test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient who is going for the test. A Genetic Counselling session may also be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with PLN Gene Cardiomyopathy, dilated type 1P NGS Genetic DNA Test gene PLN.
Significance of the Test
The PLN Gene Cardiomyopathy dilated type 1P Genetic Test plays a crucial role in diagnosing individuals with dilated cardiomyopathy. By identifying specific mutations in the PLN gene, this genetic test provides important information for treatment and management decisions. It can also assist in genetic counseling and family planning by identifying individuals who may be at risk of inheriting the condition.
