The “PLOD2 Gene Osteogenesis Imperfecta with Congenital Joint Contractures Genetic Test” is a specialized diagnostic tool available at DNA Labs UAE. This test is designed to detect mutations in the PLOD2 gene, which have been associated with a rare form of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) characterized not only by brittle bones but also by congenital joint contractures. Osteogenesis imperfecta, commonly known as brittle bone disease, is a group of genetic disorders that primarily affect the bones, leading to fractures and bone deformities. The addition of congenital joint contractures, which are permanent shortenings of muscles or tendons around joints, causes further mobility and functional challenges for affected individuals.

The PLOD2 gene plays a crucial role in the biosynthesis of collagen, a key structural protein in bones and connective tissues. Mutations in this gene can disrupt collagen production, leading to the symptoms observed in this specific form of OI. The test offered by DNA Labs UAE involves analyzing the patient’s DNA to identify mutations in the PLOD2 gene, providing crucial information for diagnosis, prognosis, and potential treatment strategies.

Priced at 4400 AED, this genetic test is a valuable resource for families seeking answers to unexplained bone fragility and joint issues present from birth. It aids in the accurate diagnosis of this rare condition, enabling healthcare providers to tailor management and intervention strategies to the specific needs of the patient, potentially improving their quality of life.

PLOD2 Gene Osteogenesis imperfecta with congenital joint contractures Genetic Test

Are you or your loved one experiencing symptoms of brittle bones and limited movement? It could be a sign of a genetic disorder called osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) with congenital joint contractures. At DNA Labs UAE, we offer a comprehensive genetic test specifically designed to detect mutations in the PLOD2 gene associated with this condition.

Test Details

The PLOD2 gene is closely linked to osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) with congenital joint contractures. OI is a genetic disorder characterized by brittle bones that are prone to fractures. Congenital joint contractures refer to the abnormal shortening or tightening of muscles, tendons, or ligaments around a joint, leading to limited movement.

Our genetic test utilizes NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology, which allows us to analyze multiple genes simultaneously. By examining the PLOD2 gene, we can identify any genetic mutations or variations that may be responsible for OI with congenital joint contractures.

Benefits of the Test

By undergoing our PLOD2 gene OI genetic test, you can benefit in several ways:

  1. Accurate Diagnosis: Identifying the specific genetic cause of OI with congenital joint contractures can provide a definitive diagnosis, helping you understand the underlying condition.
  2. Prognosis and Complications: Our test results can provide information about the prognosis of the condition and potential complications that may arise.
  3. Treatment Guidance: Knowing the genetic cause of OI with congenital joint contractures can help guide treatment decisions, allowing for personalized and targeted therapies.
  4. Genetic Counseling: Our test results can also inform genetic counseling for affected individuals and their families, providing valuable insights into inheritance patterns and potential risks.

Test Procedure and Cost

The PLOD2 gene OI genetic test requires a blood sample or extracted DNA. Alternatively, a single drop of blood can be collected on an FTA card. The test costs AED 4400.0.

Report Delivery and Test Department

After sample collection, the report will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks. The test is conducted in our Genetics department, ensuring accurate and reliable results.

Pre-Test Information

Prior to undergoing the PLOD2 gene OI genetic test, it is recommended to provide a clinical history of the patient. Additionally, a genetic counseling session may be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by OI with congenital joint contractures.

Consulting with a Dermatologist

Our PLOD2 gene OI genetic test is best recommended for individuals experiencing symptoms related to dermatology disorders. To seek expert guidance, we advise consulting with a dermatologist who can assess your condition and recommend appropriate genetic testing.

Don’t let the uncertainties of OI with congenital joint contractures hold you back. Take control of your health by undergoing our PLOD2 gene OI genetic test at DNA Labs UAE. Contact us today to schedule an appointment or to learn more about our services.

Test Details

The PLOD2 gene is associated with a condition called osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) with congenital joint contractures. OI is a genetic disorder characterized by brittle bones that are prone to fractures. Congenital joint contractures refer to the abnormal shortening or tightening of muscles, tendons, or ligaments around a joint, leading to limited movement.

NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a method used to analyze multiple genes simultaneously to identify any genetic mutations or variations that may be associated with a particular condition. In the case of OI with congenital joint contractures, NGS genetic testing can be used to identify mutations or variations in the PLOD2 gene that may be responsible for the condition.

By identifying the specific genetic cause of OI with congenital joint contractures, NGS genetic testing can help with diagnosis, provide information about the prognosis and potential complications, guide treatment decisions, and inform genetic counseling for affected individuals and their families.
