TYRP1 Gene Albinism Oculocutaneous Type 3 Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the TYRP1 Gene Albinism Oculocutaneous Type 3 Genetic Test. This test helps diagnose individuals with symptoms of OCA3 and can also identify carriers of the mutated TYRP1 gene.
Test Components
The TYRP1 Gene Albinism Oculocutaneous Type 3 Genetic Test includes:
- NGS Technology
Price
The cost of the TYRP1 Gene Albinism Oculocutaneous Type 3 Genetic Test is 4400.0 AED.
Sample Condition
The test requires a blood sample or extracted DNA. Alternatively, one drop of blood can be collected on an FTA Card.
Report Delivery
The test results will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks.
Method
The TYRP1 Gene Albinism Oculocutaneous Type 3 Genetic Test uses NGS (next-generation sequencing) technology for DNA analysis.
Test Type
This test falls under the category of Ophthalmology Disorders.
Doctor
The TYRP1 Gene Albinism Oculocutaneous Type 3 Genetic Test is performed by an Ophthalmologist.
Test Department
The test is conducted in the Genetics department.
Pre Test Information
Prior to the test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient who is undergoing the TYRP1 Gene Albinism Oculocutaneous Type 3 NGS Genetic DNA Test. Additionally, a genetic counseling session may be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by TYRP1 Gene Albinism Oculocutaneous Type 3.
Test Details
The TYRP1 gene is associated with oculocutaneous albinism type 3 (OCA3), a rare genetic condition that affects the production of melanin pigment in the eyes, skin, and hair. OCA3 is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, meaning an individual must inherit two copies of the mutated TYRP1 gene (one from each parent) to develop the condition.
The NGS genetic testing method is used to identify mutations in the TYRP1 gene that are associated with OCA3. This test can help diagnose individuals with symptoms of OCA3, such as light-colored hair and skin, vision problems, and increased susceptibility to sunburn and skin cancer.
NGS testing can also identify carriers of the mutated TYRP1 gene, which can be valuable information for family planning decisions. Genetic counseling may be recommended for individuals and families affected by OCA3 to discuss the inheritance pattern and potential risks to future offspring.
