Test Method
The SOX18 Gene Hypotrichosis-lymphedema-telangiectasia syndrome Genetic Test utilizes NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology to analyze the DNA sequence of the SOX18 gene.
Test Type
The test falls under the categories of Osteology, Dermatology, and Immunology Disorders.
Referring Doctor
The test is recommended by Dermatologists.
Test Department
The test is conducted in our Genetics department.
Pre Test Information
Before undergoing the SOX18 Gene Hypotrichosis-lymphedema-telangiectasia syndrome Genetic 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 HLTS.
Test Details
The SOX18 gene is associated with Hypotrichosis-lymphedema-telangiectasia syndrome (HLTS), a rare genetic disorder. HLTS is characterized by hypotrichosis (sparse hair), lymphedema (swelling due to impaired lymphatic drainage), and telangiectasia (dilated blood vessels on the skin).
The NGS genetic testing technique allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes, including the SOX18 gene, to identify any mutations or variations that may be causing HLTS. By performing this test, healthcare professionals can confirm a diagnosis, understand the underlying cause of the syndrome, and provide appropriate genetic counseling and management options for affected individuals and their families.

Test Details |
The SOX18 gene is associated with a rare genetic disorder called Hypotrichosis-lymphedema-telangiectasia syndrome (HLTS). This syndrome is characterized by three main features: hypotrichosis (sparse hair), lymphedema (swelling due to impaired lymphatic drainage), and telangiectasia (dilated blood vessels on the skin). NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a technique used to analyze the DNA sequence of an individual’s genes. It allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes, including the SOX18 gene, to identify any mutations or variations that may be causing the HLTS syndrome. By performing an NGS genetic test, healthcare professionals can identify specific genetic changes in the SOX18 gene that may be responsible for the development of HLTS. This information can help in confirming a diagnosis, understanding the underlying cause of the syndrome, and providing appropriate genetic counseling and management options for affected individuals and their families. |
