SFTPB Gene Surfactant Metabolism Dysfunction Type 1 Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the SFTPB Gene Surfactant Metabolism Dysfunction Type 1 Genetic Test for individuals suspected of having surfactant metabolism dysfunction type 1 (SMDP1). This genetic disorder affects the production and function of surfactant in the lungs, which is essential for efficient oxygen exchange.
Test Details
The SFTPB gene, also known as SMDP1, is analyzed using NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology. This advanced genetic testing method allows us to simultaneously analyze multiple genes to identify any mutations or variations in the SFTPB gene associated with SMDP1.
Components and Price
The cost of the SFTPB Gene Surfactant Metabolism Dysfunction Type 1 Genetic Test is 4400.0 AED. The test can be performed on blood or extracted DNA, or with just one drop of blood on an FTA card.
Report Delivery
The report will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks from the date of sample collection.
Test Type and Department
The SFTPB Gene Surfactant Metabolism Dysfunction Type 1 Genetic Test falls under the category of Metabolic Disorders and is conducted in our Genetics department.
Referring Doctor
The test can be requested by a General Physician or any qualified healthcare professional.
Pre Test Information
Prior to the test, it is recommended to provide the clinical history of the patient. Additionally, a Genetic Counselling session may be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by Surfactant Metabolism Dysfunction Type 1. This information helps in interpreting the test results accurately.
Importance of Genetic Testing for SMDP1
The SFTPB Gene Surfactant Metabolism Dysfunction Type 1 Genetic Test is crucial for diagnosing individuals suspected of having SMDP1. It provides valuable information for disease management and treatment. Moreover, it can be used for carrier testing in individuals with a family history of SMDP1 and for prenatal testing in families at risk of having a child with the disorder.
It is important to note that this genetic test should be performed by a qualified healthcare professional or genetic counselor who can interpret the results and provide appropriate genetic counseling.

| Test Details | SFTPB gene, also known as surfactant metabolism dysfunction type 1 (SMDP1), is a genetic disorder that affects the production and function of surfactant in the lungs. Surfactant is a substance that helps keep the air sacs in the lungs open, allowing for efficient oxygen exchange. NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a type of genetic test that uses advanced sequencing technologies to analyze multiple genes simultaneously. In the case of SFTPB gene testing, NGS can be used to identify any mutations or variations in the SFTPB gene that may be associated with surfactant metabolism dysfunction type 1. This type of genetic testing can help diagnose individuals with suspected SMDP1 and provide important information for disease management and treatment. It can also be used for carrier testing in individuals with a family history of SMDP1 or for prenatal testing in families at risk of having a child with the disorder. It’s important to note that genetic testing for SMDP1 should be performed by a qualified healthcare professional or genetic counselor who can interpret the results and provide appropriate genetic counseling. |
