THRB Gene Thyroid hormone resistance Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the THRB Gene Thyroid hormone resistance Genetic Test at a cost of AED 4400.0. This test is used to diagnose thyroid hormone resistance, a rare genetic disorder that affects the body’s ability to respond to thyroid hormones.
Test Details
The THRB gene, also known as the thyroid hormone receptor beta gene, is responsible for the normal functioning of the thyroid hormone system. Mutations in this gene can lead to thyroid hormone resistance, where the body is unable to properly utilize thyroid hormones.
Common symptoms of thyroid hormone resistance include elevated levels of thyroid hormones in the blood and an enlarged thyroid gland or goiter. Our THRB Gene Thyroid hormone resistance Genetic Test uses NGS technology, which allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes.
NGS genetic testing can identify mutations or variations in the THRB gene associated with thyroid hormone resistance. This information is crucial for diagnosing the condition and guiding appropriate treatment options.
Test Components and Price
The THRB Gene Thyroid hormone resistance Genetic Test is performed using a blood sample or extracted DNA. Alternatively, one drop of blood can be collected on an FTA card. The cost of the test is AED 4400.0.
Report Delivery and Method
After the sample is collected, the report will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks. The test is conducted using NGS technology, which is a high-throughput genetic testing technique.
Test Type and Doctor
The THRB Gene Thyroid hormone resistance Genetic Test falls under the categories of Hepatology, Nephrology, and Endocrinology Disorders. It is recommended to consult with a General Physician for this test.
Test Department and Pre Test Information
The THRB Gene Thyroid hormone resistance Genetic Test is conducted in our Genetics department. Before undergoing the test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient who is going for the test. A Genetic Counselling session will also be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by the THRB Gene Thyroid hormone resistance.
It is essential to note that genetic testing should be performed and interpreted by qualified healthcare professionals, such as geneticists or genetic counselors. They can provide appropriate guidance and support throughout the testing process.

| Test Details |
The THRB gene, also known as the thyroid hormone receptor beta gene, plays a crucial role in the normal functioning of the thyroid hormone system. Mutations in this gene can result in a condition called thyroid hormone resistance. Thyroid hormone resistance is a rare genetic disorder in which the body is unable to respond properly to thyroid hormones. This can lead to elevated levels of thyroid hormones in the blood, as the body’s tissues are unable to effectively utilize them. As a result, the thyroid gland may produce even more hormones in an attempt to compensate, leading to an enlarged thyroid gland or goiter. NGS, or next-generation sequencing, is a high-throughput genetic testing technique that allows for the analysis of multiple genes simultaneously. It can be used to identify mutations or variations in the THRB gene associated with thyroid hormone resistance. NGS genetic testing for THRB gene mutations can be helpful in diagnosing thyroid hormone resistance and guiding appropriate treatment options. It can also be used for genetic counseling and family planning purposes, as thyroid hormone resistance is an inherited condition. It is important to note that genetic testing should be performed and interpreted by qualified healthcare professionals, such as geneticists or genetic counselors, who can provide appropriate guidance and support. |
