SUFU Gene Basal Cell Nevus Syndrome Genetic Test
Cost: AED 4400.0
Symptoms and Diagnosis
Basal cell nevus syndrome (BCNS), also known as Gorlin syndrome, is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the development of multiple basal cell carcinomas (a type of skin cancer) and various other clinical features such as skeletal abnormalities, jaw cysts, and brain tumors. To diagnose BCNS, a genetic test known as the SUFU Gene Basal Cell Nevus Syndrome Genetic Test can be conducted.
Test Details
The SUFU gene is associated with BCNS. The SUFU Gene Basal Cell Nevus Syndrome Genetic Test utilizes Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to analyze multiple genes simultaneously. This test specifically looks for mutations or variants in the SUFU gene that may be responsible for the development of BCNS.
Components and Price
The cost of the SUFU Gene Basal Cell Nevus Syndrome Genetic Test is AED 4400.0. The test can be conducted using blood or extracted DNA, or by using one drop of blood on an FTA Card.
Report Delivery
The report for the SUFU Gene Basal Cell Nevus Syndrome Genetic Test is typically delivered within 3 to 4 weeks.
Test Type and Doctor
The SUFU Gene Basal Cell Nevus Syndrome Genetic Test falls under the category of cancer genetic testing. It is recommended to consult with an oncologist for this test.
Test Department
The SUFU Gene Basal Cell Nevus Syndrome Genetic Test is conducted by the Genetics department of DNA Labs UAE.
Pre Test Information
Prior to undergoing the SUFU Gene Basal Cell Nevus 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 BCNS.
During the genetic counseling session, the gene SUFU will be discussed in detail, along with its implications for the development of BCNS.
It is crucial to consult with a qualified healthcare professional or genetic counselor who can interpret the test results and provide appropriate counseling and recommendations based on the individual’s specific situation.

| Test Details |
The SUFU gene is associated with basal cell nevus syndrome (BCNS), also known as Gorlin syndrome. BCNS is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the development of multiple basal cell carcinomas (a type of skin cancer) and various other clinical features, including skeletal abnormalities, jaw cysts, and brain tumors. NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a type of genetic test that uses advanced sequencing technology to analyze multiple genes simultaneously. In the context of BCNS, NGS genetic testing can be used to identify mutations or variants in the SUFU gene that may be responsible for the development of the syndrome. This testing can help confirm a diagnosis of BCNS and guide appropriate medical management and surveillance for individuals and their families. It’s important to note that genetic testing for BCNS should be performed by a qualified healthcare professional or genetic counselor who can interpret the results and provide appropriate counseling and recommendations based on the individual’s specific situation. |
