The SLC26A3 gene plays a crucial role in the proper absorption and secretion of chloride ions in the intestines. Mutations in this gene can lead to Diarrhea type 1 secretory chloride congenital (DSC1), a disorder characterized by life-threatening diarrhea in infancy, which results from an inability to properly absorb chloride, leading to an imbalance of electrolytes and water in the body. Genetic testing for mutations in the SLC26A3 gene is crucial for diagnosing this condition, guiding treatment plans, and providing information for family planning.

DNA Labs UAE offers a comprehensive genetic test for the SLC26A3 gene to identify mutations associated with DSC1. The test, which costs 4400 AED, involves collecting a DNA sample, usually through a blood draw or a cheek swab, and analyzing it to detect any genetic alterations in the SLC26A3 gene. This test is pivotal for early diagnosis and management of the condition, potentially saving lives and improving the quality of life for affected individuals and their families.

Doctor

The test can be ordered by a general physician.

Test Department

This test is conducted in our Genetics department.

Pre Test Information

Prior to the test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient who is undergoing the SLC26A3 Gene Diarrhea type 1 secretory chloride congenital Genetic Test. Additionally, a genetic counseling session is recommended to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with Diarrhea type 1, secretory chloride, congenital.

Test Details

The SLC26A3 gene is responsible for encoding a protein called chloride transporter 3 (ClC-3), which plays a role in the movement of chloride ions across cell membranes. Mutations in the SLC26A3 gene can result in secretory chloride diarrhea type 1, also known as congenital chloride diarrhea (CCD).

CCD is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the inability of the intestines to properly absorb chloride ions. This leads to excessive chloride secretion into the intestines, causing watery diarrhea with high chloride and sodium concentrations. CCD is present from birth and can lead to severe dehydration and electrolyte imbalances if not managed properly.

The SLC26A3 Gene Diarrhea type 1 secretory chloride congenital Genetic Test utilizes NGS technology to identify mutations in the SLC26A3 gene and other genes associated with CCD. This comprehensive testing method allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes, providing a thorough evaluation of the genetic causes of the disorder.

By confirming a diagnosis of CCD and identifying specific mutations in the SLC26A3 gene, NGS testing can provide crucial information for the proper management and treatment of individuals with suspected CCD. It can also assist with family planning and genetic counseling by determining the risk of passing the condition on to future children.
