SOST Gene Sclerosteosis Type 1 Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the SOST Gene Sclerosteosis Type 1 Genetic Test at a cost of AED 4400.0. This test is used to diagnose sclerosteosis type 1, a rare genetic disorder characterized by abnormal bone growth and increased bone density.
Test Details
The SOST gene sclerosteosis type 1 NGS genetic test utilizes Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to analyze the SOST gene for mutations associated with the condition. The SOST gene encodes a protein called sclerostin, which normally inhibits bone formation. Mutations in the SOST gene lead to excessive bone growth.
This diagnostic test involves sequencing the entire coding region of the SOST gene to identify any changes or mutations. It can detect both small point mutations and larger deletions or insertions in the gene.
The test is typically performed on a blood or saliva sample from the individual suspected of having sclerosteosis type 1. The DNA is extracted from the sample and then sequenced using NGS technology. The resulting sequence data is analyzed to identify any mutations or variants in the SOST gene.

Pre Test Information
Prior to undergoing the SOST Gene Sclerosteosis Type 1 NGS Genetic DNA Test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient. Additionally, a genetic counseling session may be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by sclerosteosis type 1.
Uses of the Test
The SOST gene sclerosteosis type 1 NGS genetic test can confirm a diagnosis of sclerosteosis type 1 in individuals with clinical symptoms. It can also be used for carrier testing in individuals with a family history of the condition. Furthermore, it can be utilized for prenatal testing in families with a known SOST gene mutation.
It is important to note that this test specifically targets mutations in the SOST gene associated with sclerosteosis type 1 and does not analyze other genes or conditions.
Genetic Counseling
Both before and after undergoing the SOST gene sclerosteosis type 1 NGS genetic test, it is recommended to seek genetic counseling. This allows for a discussion of the implications of the test results and any potential treatment options.

SOST gene sclerosteosis type 1 NGS genetic test is a diagnostic test that uses Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to analyze the SOST gene for mutations associated with sclerosteosis type 1. Sclerosteosis type 1 is a rare genetic disorder characterized by abnormal bone growth and increased bone density. It is caused by mutations in the SOST gene, which encodes a protein called sclerostin. Sclerostin normally inhibits bone formation, so mutations in the SOST gene lead to excessive bone growth. The NGS genetic test for SOST gene mutations involves sequencing the entire coding region of the gene to identify any changes or mutations.
