TSC1 and TSC2 Gene Analysis Test
Test Name: TSC1 and TSC2 Gene Analysis Test
Components: Sterile container/ Sterile Normal Saline Container/ EDTA Vacutainer (3 ml)
Price: 7200.0 AED
Sample Condition: Amniotic fluid/ Chorionic villi/ Peripheral blood
Report Delivery: 4-6 weeks
Method: NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing)
Test Type: Genetics
Doctor: General Physician
Test Department: DNA Labs UAE
Pre Test Information: TSC1 & TSC2 Gene Analysis can be done with a Doctor’s prescription. Prescription is not applicable for surgery and pregnancy cases or people planning to travel abroad.
Test Details: TSC1 and TSC2 are two genes that are associated with the development of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), a rare genetic disorder that affects multiple organ systems. TSC1 is located on chromosome 9 and encodes a protein called hamartin, while TSC2 is located on chromosome 16 and encodes a protein called tuberin. Both proteins are involved in regulating cell growth and division.
Analysis of the TSC1 and TSC2 genes can be done through genetic testing, which involves examining a person’s DNA for mutations or changes in the genes that may be associated with TSC. This testing can be done through a blood or saliva sample and can help diagnose TSC in individuals who have symptoms or a family history of the condition.
In addition to diagnosing TSC, genetic testing can also be used to identify carriers of TSC mutations, which can be helpful for family planning and genetic counseling. It can also provide information about the severity of the condition and potential complications.
Overall, TSC1 and TSC2 gene analysis plays an important role in the diagnosis, management, and understanding of tuberous sclerosis complex.
