The TYR Gene Albinism Oculocutaneous Type 1B Genetic Test is a specialized diagnostic tool offered by DNA Labs UAE, aimed at identifying mutations in the TYR gene which are responsible for Oculocutaneous Albinism Type 1B (OCA1B). OCA1B is a form of albinism characterized by reduced melanin production, leading to lighter skin, hair, and eye color than non-affected family members, and may include vision abnormalities. The test is crucial for early diagnosis and management of the condition, helping in understanding the risk of passing the genetic mutation to future generations. Priced at 4400 AED, this test is a valuable resource for individuals with a family history of albinism or those seeking genetic counseling. Conducted in the advanced facilities of DNA Labs UAE, the test offers accurate, reliable results, guiding patients and their families towards appropriate medical and support services.

Test Details: The TYR gene is responsible for producing an enzyme called tyrosinase, which plays a crucial role in the production of melanin. Mutations in this gene can cause a condition called oculocutaneous albinism type 1B (OCA1B), which is characterized by a complete or partial absence of melanin in the skin, hair, and eyes. NGS (next-generation sequencing) genetic testing is a type of genetic testing that can analyze multiple genes simultaneously, allowing for a more comprehensive evaluation of an individual’s genetic makeup. In the context of OCA1B, NGS testing can identify mutations in the TYR gene that may be responsible for the condition. Individuals with OCA1B typically have fair skin, white or light-colored hair, and light-colored eyes. They are also more susceptible to sunburn and skin cancer due to the lack of melanin protection in their skin. Additionally, they may experience vision problems such as reduced visual acuity, nystagmus (involuntary eye movements), and strabismus (crossed or misaligned eyes). Genetic testing for OCA1B can help individuals and their families understand the underlying cause of their condition, which can inform treatment and management strategies. For example, individuals with OCA1B should take extra precautions to protect their skin from sun exposure and should have regular eye exams to monitor for vision problems.
