UGT1A1 Gene Crigler-Najjar Syndrome Type 2 Genetic Test

Welcome to DNA Labs UAE, where we offer the UGT1A1 Gene Crigler-Najjar Syndrome Type 2 Genetic Test. This blog post will provide you with detailed information about the test, including its components, price, sample condition, report delivery, method, test type, doctor, and test department. We will also discuss the importance of pre-test information and provide details about the UGT1A1 gene and NGS genetic testing.

Test Details

The UGT1A1 gene is responsible for producing an enzyme called UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A1, which plays a crucial role in the metabolism and elimination of bilirubin, a waste product of red blood cell breakdown. Crigler-Najjar syndrome, type 2 is a rare inherited disorder characterized by a deficiency of this enzyme.

NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a method used to analyze the DNA sequence of genes. It allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes, including the UGT1A1 gene, to identify any variations or mutations that may be present. In the case of Crigler-Najjar syndrome, type 2, NGS genetic testing can help determine if there are any mutations in the UGT1A1 gene that may be causing the deficiency of the enzyme.

This type of genetic testing can be helpful in diagnosing Crigler-Najjar syndrome, type 2 and can also provide information about the likelihood of passing the condition on to future generations. It can also be used for carrier testing, which is particularly important for individuals who are planning to have children.

It’s important to note that NGS genetic testing should be performed by a qualified healthcare professional or genetic counselor who can interpret the results and provide appropriate guidance and support.

Pre Test Information

Before undergoing the UGT1A1 Gene Crigler-Najjar Syndrome Type 2 Genetic Test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient who is going for the test. Additionally, a genetic counseling session may be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with UGT1A1 Gene Crigler-Najjar syndrome, type 2 NGS Genetic DNA Test gene UGT1A1.

This information will help the healthcare professional or genetic counselor better understand the patient’s condition and provide appropriate recommendations based on the test results.
