PLOD1 Gene Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type 6 Genetic Test
Are you or your loved ones experiencing symptoms such as joint hypermobility, skin hyperextensibility, and tissue fragility? These symptoms could be indicative of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a group of genetic disorders that affect the connective tissues in the body. To help diagnose and understand this condition better, DNA Labs UAE offers the PLOD1 Gene Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type 6 Genetic Test.
Test Details
The PLOD1 gene is associated with a specific type of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome called type 6. This genetic test utilizes NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology, allowing for the analysis of multiple genes simultaneously. By sequencing the entire coding region of the PLOD1 gene, this test can identify any genetic variations or mutations that may be causing the condition.
NGS genetic testing is a rapid and accurate method of sequencing DNA, providing a comprehensive analysis of genetic variations within the tested genes. In the case of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type 6, this test can confirm a diagnosis and provide information about the specific genetic mutation present in an individual.
Test Components and Price
The PLOD1 Gene Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type 6 Genetic Test is priced at 4400.0 AED. The test requires a blood sample, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA Card. The report will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks.
Referral and Doctor
This test can be ordered by a dermatologist, as it falls under the Osteology Dermatology Immunology Disorders category. The test will be conducted in the Genetics department of DNA Labs UAE.
Pre Test Information
Prior to taking the PLOD1 Gene Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type 6 NGS Genetic DNA Test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient. Additionally, a Genetic Counselling session will be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by PLOD1 Gene Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type 6 NGS Genetic DNA Test gene PLOD1.
Benefits of Genetic Testing
Genetic testing for Ehlers-Danlos syndrome can provide several benefits. It can confirm a diagnosis, guide treatment decisions, and provide information about the risk of passing on the condition to future generations. This test is particularly recommended for individuals with clinical symptoms suggestive of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and can be ordered by a healthcare professional specializing in genetics or genetic counseling.
Don’t let the symptoms of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome go undiagnosed. Take the PLOD1 Gene Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type 6 Genetic Test at DNA Labs UAE and gain valuable insights into your genetic makeup.
