The SLC39A4 gene acrodermatitis enteropathica genetic test is a specialized diagnostic procedure designed to identify mutations in the SLC39A4 gene, which are linked to the rare, inherited metabolic disorder known as acrodermatitis enteropathica. This condition is characterized by dermatitis, alopecia, and diarrhea due to the body’s inability to absorb zinc properly. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for managing symptoms and preventing severe complications.

The test is conducted at DNA Labs UAE, a leading facility in genetic testing and analysis. By examining a patient’s DNA sample, usually obtained through a blood draw or cheek swab, the test can pinpoint specific genetic alterations in the SLC39A4 gene that cause the disorder. This information is vital for confirming a diagnosis, guiding treatment decisions, and providing genetic counseling for affected families.

The cost of the SLC39A4 gene acrodermatitis enteropathica genetic test at DNA Labs UAE is 4400 AED. This price reflects the advanced technology and expertise required to accurately analyze genetic information and provide reliable results. Patients and healthcare providers considering this test should also inquire about any additional fees, such as for sample collection or consultation, to understand the total cost involved.

Clinical History of Patient who is going for SLC39A4 Gene Acrodermatitis enteropathica NGS Genetic DNA Test. A Genetic Counselling session to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with SLC39A4 Gene Acrodermatitis enteropathica NGS Genetic DNA Test gene SLC39A4.

Test Details:

The SLC39A4 gene is responsible for producing a protein called zinc transporter ZIP4, which plays a crucial role in the absorption of zinc from the diet. Mutations in this gene can lead to a rare genetic disorder called acrodermatitis enteropathica.

Acrodermatitis enteropathica is characterized by a deficiency in zinc absorption, resulting in symptoms such as skin rashes, diarrhea, hair loss, and impaired growth and development. It is typically inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, meaning that an individual must inherit two copies of the mutated gene (one from each parent) to develop the condition.

NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a type of genetic testing that allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes, including the SLC39A4 gene, in a single test. It involves sequencing the DNA to identify any mutations or variations in the genes being analyzed.

NGS genetic testing can be used to diagnose acrodermatitis enteropathica by identifying mutations in the SLC39A4 gene. If a person is suspected to have acrodermatitis enteropathica, NGS genetic testing can help confirm the diagnosis and provide information about the specific mutations in the SLC39A4 gene. This information can be useful for genetic counseling, as well as for guiding treatment and management strategies for the condition.
