SPTB Gene Spherocytosis Type 2 Genetic Test
Welcome to DNA Labs UAE, a leading genetic laboratory in the UAE. We offer the SPTB Gene Spherocytosis Type 2 Genetic Test to help diagnose and understand this genetic disorder. Read on to learn more about the test, its components, cost, symptoms, diagnosis, and more.
Test Details
Spherocytosis type 2 is a genetic disorder characterized by the presence of abnormally shaped red blood cells called spherocytes. This condition is caused by mutations in the SPTB gene, which provides instructions for making a protein called beta-spectrin. Beta-spectrin is crucial for the structural support and stability of red blood cell membranes.
Test Components and Price
- Test Name: SPTB Gene Spherocytosis Type 2 Genetic Test
- Components: Blood or Extracted DNA or One drop Blood on FTA Card
- Price: 4400.0 AED
Sample Condition
We accept blood samples or extracted DNA for the SPTB Gene Spherocytosis Type 2 Genetic Test. Alternatively, one drop of blood can be placed on an FTA Card.
Report Delivery
Once the sample is received, the report will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks.
Method
The SPTB Gene Spherocytosis Type 2 Genetic Test utilizes NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology for analysis.
Test Type
The SPTB Gene Spherocytosis Type 2 Genetic Test falls under the category of Hematology tests.
Doctor and Test Department
The test is conducted by a Hematologist and falls under the Genetics department.
Pre Test Information
Prior to undergoing the SPTB Gene Spherocytosis Type 2 NGS Genetic DNA Test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient. Additionally, a Genetic Counselling session may be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by the SPTB Gene Spherocytosis Type 2 NGS Genetic DNA Test gene.
Diagnosis and Genetic Counseling
The NGS genetic test for Spherocytosis Type 2 can identify mutations in the SPTB gene, allowing for a definitive diagnosis. The results of the test provide valuable information about the specific mutations present in the SPTB gene, which can help confirm the diagnosis and determine the risk of passing the condition on to future generations. It is important to note that NGS genetic testing is typically performed in specialized laboratories and requires a healthcare professional to order the test. The results should be interpreted by a qualified healthcare provider who can provide appropriate guidance and support based on the individual’s specific situation.

| Test Details | Spherocytosis type 2 is a genetic disorder characterized by the presence of spherocytes, which are abnormally shaped red blood cells. It is caused by mutations in the SPTB gene, which provides instructions for making a protein called beta-spectrin. Beta-spectrin is a crucial component of the red blood cell membrane, providing structural support and stability. NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a type of genetic testing that uses advanced sequencing technologies to analyze multiple genes simultaneously. In the case of Spherocytosis type 2, NGS genetic testing can be used to identify mutations in the SPTB gene, allowing for a definitive diagnosis. The NGS genetic test for Spherocytosis type 2 involves obtaining a blood sample from the individual suspected of having the condition. The DNA in the blood sample is then extracted and sequenced using NGS technology. The sequencing data is analyzed to identify any mutations or genetic variations in the SPTB gene. The results of the NGS genetic test can provide valuable information about the specific mutations present in the SPTB gene, which can help in confirming a diagnosis of Spherocytosis type 2. This information can also be used for genetic counseling, as it can help determine the risk of passing the condition on to future generations. It is important to note that NGS genetic testing is typically performed in specialized laboratories and requires a healthcare professional to order the test. The results should be interpreted by a qualified healthcare provider who can provide appropriate guidance and support based on the individual’s specific situation. |
