The SQSTM1 Gene Paget Disease of Bone Genetic Test is a specialized diagnostic tool available at DNA Labs UAE, designed to detect mutations in the SQSTM1 gene, which are closely associated with Paget’s disease of bone. Paget’s disease is a chronic disorder that can lead to enlarged and misshapen bones in adults, often leading to bone pain, arthritis, deformities, and fractures. The SQSTM1 gene plays a critical role in bone remodeling and maintenance, and mutations in this gene are found in a significant proportion of patients with familial or sporadic forms of Paget’s disease.

This genetic test involves collecting a DNA sample, usually through a blood draw, and analyzing it for specific mutations in the SQSTM1 gene. Identifying these mutations can help in confirming a diagnosis of Paget’s disease, especially in patients who present with typical symptoms or have a family history of the disease. It can also aid in the early detection of the disease, allowing for timely management and treatment strategies to prevent complications.

The cost of the SQSTM1 Gene Paget Disease of Bone Genetic Test at DNA Labs UAE is 4400 AED. Given the complexity and the specialized nature of this genetic test, it represents a critical step towards personalized medicine for patients with or at risk of developing Paget’s disease. This test is an essential tool for healthcare providers in the diagnosis, treatment planning, and management of patients affected by this condition.
