SOD2 Gene Microvascular Complications of Diabetes Type 6 Susceptibility to Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer a comprehensive genetic test to determine susceptibility to microvascular complications of diabetes type 6. The test analyzes the SOD2 gene, which encodes the enzyme manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) that protects cells from oxidative damage.
Test Details
The SOD2 gene, also known as superoxide dismutase 2, plays a crucial role in neutralizing harmful reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the mitochondria. Microvascular complications of diabetes type 6, such as diabetic retinopathy and nephropathy, are conditions characterized by damage to the small blood vessels in the eyes and kidneys.
Our genetic test utilizes NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology to analyze multiple genes simultaneously and identify genetic variations associated with microvascular complications of diabetes type 6. It is important to note that this test is not a diagnostic tool, but rather provides valuable information for individuals at risk.

Pre-Test Information
Prior to undergoing the SOD2 gene test, it is recommended to provide a clinical history of the patient and participate in a genetic counseling session. The genetic counselor will draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by microvascular complications of diabetes type 6, helping to determine the relevance of the test for the individual.
Benefits and Implications
Genetic testing can provide valuable information for individuals at risk of developing microvascular complications of diabetes type 6. This information can guide personalized treatment and management strategies, as well as facilitate early interventions to prevent or delay the onset of these complications. However, it is essential to consult with a healthcare professional or genetic counselor to fully understand the benefits, limitations, and implications of genetic testing before proceeding with the test.
At DNA Labs UAE, we strive to provide accurate and reliable genetic testing services. Our team of experts in the field of genetics and metabolic disorders is dedicated to helping individuals make informed decisions about their health.

The SOD2 gene, also known as superoxide dismutase 2, encodes an enzyme called manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD). This enzyme plays a crucial role in the mitochondria, where it helps to neutralize harmful reactive oxygen species (ROS) and protect cells from oxidative damage. Microvascular complications of diabetes type 6, also known as diabetic retinopathy and nephropathy, are conditions characterized by damage to the small blood vessels in the eyes and kidneys, respectively. These complications are common in individuals with diabetes and can lead to vision loss and kidney damage. NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a technique used to analyze multiple genes simultaneously and identify genetic variations that may be associated with certain diseases or conditions. In the case of the SOD2 gene, NGS genetic testing can help determine if an individual has any genetic variants that may increase their susceptibility to microvascular complications of diabetes type 6. It’s important to note that genetic testing for susceptibility to microvascular complications of diabetes type 6 is not a diagnostic test. The presence of genetic variants associated with increased susceptibility does not guarantee the development of these complications, as other environmental and lifestyle factors also play a significant role. Genetic testing can provide valuable information for individuals at risk of developing microvascular complications of diabetes type 6. This information can help guide personalized treatment and management strategies, as well as facilitate early interventions to prevent or delay the onset of these complications. It is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional or genetic counselor to discuss the benefits, limitations, and implications of genetic testing before undergoing the test. |
