SLC6A14 Gene Cystic Fibrosis Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the SLC6A14 Gene Cystic Fibrosis Genetic Test for individuals who suspect they may have cystic fibrosis related to the SLC6A14 gene. This test aims to identify any mutations or variations in the SLC6A14 gene that may be associated with metabolic disorders.
Test Details
The SLC6A14 gene is not directly associated with cystic fibrosis. Cystic fibrosis is primarily caused by mutations in the CFTR gene, which encodes a protein involved in the transport of chloride ions across cell membranes. Mutations in the CFTR gene lead to the production of a faulty protein, resulting in the characteristic symptoms of cystic fibrosis.
The SLC6A14 gene, on the other hand, encodes a protein called sodium-dependent neutral amino acid transporter B(0)AT1. This protein is responsible for the transport of neutral amino acids across cell membranes. Mutations in the SLC6A14 gene have been associated with certain metabolic disorders, such as Hartnup disorder, which affects the absorption of certain amino acids in the intestine and kidneys.
NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic tests are used to analyze multiple genes simultaneously and can be used to identify mutations or variations in genes associated with specific conditions. However, for cystic fibrosis, the CFTR gene is the primary gene of interest, not SLC6A14. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional or genetic counselor to determine the appropriate genetic test for cystic fibrosis or any other genetic condition. They can provide guidance on the specific genes to be tested and the most appropriate testing method.

Pre Test Information
Before undergoing the SLC6A14 Gene Cystic Fibrosis Genetic Test, it is recommended to provide the clinical history of the patient who is going for the test. Additionally, a genetic counseling session may be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with cystic fibrosis related to SLC6A14.
At DNA Labs UAE, we prioritize the accurate diagnosis and appropriate testing methods for genetic conditions. Our team of healthcare professionals and genetic counselors are dedicated to providing personalized guidance and support throughout the testing process.
