Genetic Lab Blog – TMPRSS6 Gene Iron-refractory iron deficiency anemia Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the TMPRSS6 Gene Iron-refractory iron deficiency anemia Genetic Test for the cost of AED 4400.0. This test is used to diagnose iron-refractory iron deficiency anemia, a rare genetic disorder that is characterized by chronic iron deficiency anemia that does not respond to oral iron supplementation.
The test requires a blood sample or extracted DNA, or even just one drop of blood on an FTA Card. The report will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks using NGS Technology, a type of genetic testing that uses advanced sequencing technologies to analyze multiple genes simultaneously.
The test is performed by our team of expert hematologists in our Genetics department. Before the test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient who is going for the test. Additionally, a Genetic Counselling session will be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with the TMPRSS6 Gene Iron-refractory iron deficiency anemia NGS Genetic DNA Test gene TMPRSS6.
The TMPRSS6 gene is responsible for encoding a protein called transmembrane protease, serine 6. This protein plays a crucial role in the regulation of iron homeostasis in the body. By analyzing the entire coding region of the TMPRSS6 gene, NGS genetic testing can provide comprehensive information about any genetic changes that may be present.
NGS genetic testing can help confirm a diagnosis of iron-refractory iron deficiency anemia and identify specific mutations that may be causing the disorder. It can also provide information about the inheritance pattern of the disorder. The TMPRSS6 gene mutations associated with iron-refractory iron deficiency anemia can be inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, meaning that both copies of the gene must be affected for the disorder to be present. NGS testing can help determine if an individual carries one or two copies of the mutated gene.
In conclusion, NGS genetic testing for the TMPRSS6 gene is a valuable tool for the diagnosis and management of iron-refractory iron deficiency anemia. It can confirm the diagnosis, identify specific mutations, and provide information about the inheritance pattern of the disorder.

| Test Details | TMPRSS6 gene is a gene that encodes a protein called transmembrane protease, serine 6. This protein is involved in the regulation of iron homeostasis in the body. Iron-refractory iron deficiency anemia (IRIDA) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by chronic iron deficiency anemia that does not respond to oral iron supplementation. NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a type of genetic test that uses advanced sequencing technologies to analyze multiple genes simultaneously. In the case of IRIDA, NGS genetic testing can be used to identify mutations or variations in the TMPRSS6 gene that may be responsible for the disorder. By analyzing the entire coding region of the TMPRSS6 gene, NGS genetic testing can provide comprehensive information about any genetic changes that may be present. This can help in confirming a diagnosis of IRIDA and in identifying specific mutations that may be causing the disorder. NGS genetic testing can also be used to provide information about the inheritance pattern of IRIDA. The TMPRSS6 gene mutations associated with IRIDA can be inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, meaning that both copies of the gene must be affected for the disorder to be present. NGS testing can help determine if an individual carries one or two copies of the mutated gene. Overall, NGS genetic testing for the TMPRSS6 gene can provide valuable information for the diagnosis and management of iron-refractory iron deficiency anemia. It can help confirm the diagnosis, identify specific mutations, and provide information about the inheritance pattern of the disorder. |
