The SLC6A14 gene is known for its role in encoding a protein that functions as an amino acid transporter, which is crucial for various physiological processes. Recent studies have implicated mutations in the SLC6A14 gene in contributing to the complexity of cystic fibrosis (CF), a genetic disorder characterized by the production of thick, sticky mucus that can clog the lungs and obstruct the pancreas.

Cystic fibrosis traditionally has been associated with mutations in the CFTR gene, but the discovery of the involvement of SLC6A14 offers new insights into the disease’s heterogeneity and its manifestations. This has led to the development of genetic tests that specifically target the SLC6A14 gene to identify mutations that may be contributing to the disease state in individuals with cystic fibrosis or in those who are at risk of passing on the disease to their offspring.

One such test is offered by DNA Labs UAE, a leading facility in genetic diagnostics. The SLC6A14-related genetic test provided by DNA Labs UAE is designed to detect mutations in the SLC6A14 gene that could influence the severity of cystic fibrosis or potentially respond to specific therapeutic interventions. This test is particularly relevant for patients who have a diagnosed case of cystic fibrosis but do not have identifiable mutations in the CFTR gene or for those who exhibit atypical CF symptoms.

The test is priced at 4400 AED, reflecting the advanced technology and expert analysis involved in identifying the genetic variations within the SLC6A14 gene. Conducting this test can be an essential step in personalized medicine, offering patients and their families more targeted information about their condition, potential treatments, and management strategies. It also contributes to the growing body of research aimed at understanding the genetic factors that influence cystic fibrosis and improving the quality of life for those affected by the disease.

Description

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.
