UGT1A1 Gene Gilbert Syndrome Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the UGT1A1 Gene Gilbert Syndrome Genetic Test for individuals who suspect they may have this genetic disorder. The test is designed to identify any mutations or variations in the UGT1A1 gene that may be responsible for the reduced enzyme activity seen in affected individuals.
Test Components and Price
The UGT1A1 Gene Gilbert Syndrome Genetic Test is priced at 4400.0 AED. The test requires a blood sample, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card.
Report Delivery
Once the sample is received, the report will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks.
Method and Test Type
The UGT1A1 Gene Gilbert Syndrome Genetic Test uses NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology. NGS allows for the simultaneous sequencing of multiple genes or even the entire genome. This high-throughput genetic testing method is particularly effective in identifying mutations or variations in the UGT1A1 gene.
The test type falls under Hepatology, Nephrology, and Endocrinology Disorders.
Doctor and Test Department
The UGT1A1 Gene Gilbert Syndrome Genetic Test is conducted by our General Physician and falls under the Genetics department.
Pre Test Information
Prior to undergoing the UGT1A1 Gene Gilbert Syndrome Genetic Test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient. Additionally, a Genetic Counselling session will be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by the UGT1A1 Gene Gilbert Syndrome NGS Genetic DNA Test gene UGT1A1.
Test Details
The UGT1A1 gene is responsible for producing an enzyme called UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A1. This enzyme is involved in the metabolism and elimination of bilirubin, a waste product produced by the breakdown of red blood cells. Gilbert syndrome is a genetic disorder characterized by reduced activity of the UGT1A1 enzyme, leading to an accumulation of bilirubin in the blood.
The UGT1A1 Gene Gilbert Syndrome Genetic Test using NGS involves obtaining a DNA sample, typically through a blood sample or cheek swab. The UGT1A1 gene is then sequenced, and the obtained DNA sequence is compared to a reference sequence to identify any variations or mutations that may be present.
Benefits and Limitations of Genetic Testing
Genetic testing for Gilbert syndrome can help confirm a diagnosis, especially in cases where the symptoms are mild or atypical. It can also be used to determine the risk of passing on the condition to offspring or to inform treatment decisions.
However, it is important to note that genetic testing for Gilbert syndrome is not always necessary. The diagnosis can often be made based on clinical symptoms and a blood test showing elevated levels of unconjugated bilirubin. It is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional or a genetic counselor to discuss the benefits, limitations, and implications of genetic testing for Gilbert syndrome before undergoing the test.
