SLC12A1 Gene Bartter Syndrome Type 1 Genetic Test
Introduction
The SLC12A1 gene is associated with Bartter syndrome type 1, a rare genetic disorder that affects the kidneys’ ability to reabsorb certain electrolytes. DNA Labs UAE offers a comprehensive NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic test specifically designed to detect mutations or variations in the SLC12A1 gene that are known to cause Bartter syndrome type 1.
Test Details
The SLC12A1 Gene Bartter Syndrome Type 1 Genetic Test is performed using NGS technology, which allows for the sequencing of multiple genes simultaneously. This comprehensive analysis of an individual’s genetic makeup helps in confirming a diagnosis of Bartter syndrome type 1 and provides information about the specific genetic variant causing the condition.
Components and Price
- Test Name: SLC12A1 Gene Bartter Syndrome Type 1 Genetic Test
- Components: NGS Technology
- Price: 4400.0 AED
Sample Condition and Report Delivery
The test requires a blood sample or extracted DNA. Alternatively, one drop of blood on an FTA card can also be used as a sample. The report will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks.
Test Type and Doctor
The SLC12A1 Gene Bartter Syndrome Type 1 Genetic Test falls under the category of Hepatology, Nephrology, and Endocrinology Disorders. It is recommended to consult a General Physician for this test.
Test Department and Pre-Test Information
The test is conducted in the Genetics department. It is essential to provide the clinical history of the patient who is undergoing the SLC12A1 Gene Bartter Syndrome Type 1 NGS Genetic DNA Test. Additionally, a Genetic Counselling session is recommended to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with Bartter syndrome type 1 and the SLC12A1 gene.
Benefits of Genetic Testing for Bartter Syndrome Type 1
Genetic testing for Bartter syndrome type 1 can be beneficial for the following reasons:
- Confirming a diagnosis of Bartter syndrome type 1
- Providing information about the specific genetic variant causing the condition
- Identifying individuals with symptoms suggestive of Bartter syndrome type 1
- Evaluating family members who may be at risk of inheriting the genetic mutation
- Assisting in genetic counseling and family planning
Conclusion
It is important to note that genetic testing should always be done under the guidance of a healthcare professional or genetic counselor. They can help interpret the test results and provide appropriate recommendations and support based on the individual’s genetic makeup.
