WNK1 Gene HSAN2A Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the WNK1 Gene HSAN2A Genetic Test to diagnose and identify genetic variations associated with hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy type 2A (HSAN2A). This rare genetic disorder affects the peripheral nervous system and leads to the progressive loss of sensory and autonomic functions.
Test Details
The WNK1 gene is closely linked to HSAN2A. To analyze this gene for any mutations or variations, we utilize Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology. NGS genetic testing allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes, providing comprehensive results for specific conditions or diseases.
Test Components and Price
The WNK1 Gene HSAN2A 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. The report delivery time is approximately 3 to 4 weeks.
Method and Test Type
We utilize NGS technology to sequence the DNA sample collected from the individual. This method enables us to identify any genetic variations or mutations within the WNK1 gene associated with HSAN2A. The test falls under the category of neurological disorders and is performed in our Genetics department.
Pre-Test Information
Prior to undergoing the WNK1 Gene HSAN2A Genetic Test, it is important for the patient to provide their clinical history. Additionally, a genetic counseling session is recommended to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by HSAN2A. This information helps in the accurate interpretation of test results.
Significance of the Test
The WNK1 Gene HSAN2A Genetic Test is crucial for confirming a diagnosis of HSAN2A and determining the specific genetic variant present in the individual. This information aids in understanding the disease progression and planning appropriate treatment strategies.
Moreover, this test is beneficial for individuals experiencing symptoms of HSAN2A or those with a family history of the condition. It can also be used for carrier testing in individuals who may be at risk of passing the genetic mutation to their children.
Importance of Professional Interpretation
It is important to note that genetic testing for HSAN2A and other genetic conditions should be performed and interpreted by a qualified healthcare professional or genetic counselor. They possess the necessary expertise to explain the implications of the test results and guide individuals on any necessary follow-up actions.
At DNA Labs UAE, we are committed to providing accurate and reliable genetic testing services. Contact our Neurologist to schedule your WNK1 Gene HSAN2A Genetic Test and gain valuable insights into your genetic health.

Test Details |
The WNK1 gene is associated with a condition called hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy type 2A (HSAN2A). HSAN2A is a rare genetic disorder that affects the peripheral nervous system, leading to progressive loss of sensory and autonomic functions. NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a technique used to analyze multiple genes simultaneously, allowing for the identification of genetic variations or mutations that may be responsible for a particular condition or disease. In the case of HSAN2A, NGS genetic testing can be used to analyze the WNK1 gene for any mutations or variations that may be associated with the disorder. The NGS genetic test for the WNK1 gene in HSAN2A involves collecting a DNA sample from the individual, typically through a blood or saliva sample. The DNA is then sequenced using NGS technology to identify any genetic variations or mutations within the WNK1 gene. The results of the test can help confirm a diagnosis of HSAN2A and provide information about the specific genetic variant present in the individual. This genetic testing can be useful for individuals with symptoms of HSAN2A or a family history of the condition. It can also be used for carrier testing in individuals who may be at risk of passing the genetic mutation to their children. It’s important to note that genetic testing for HSAN2A and other genetic conditions should be performed and interpreted by a qualified healthcare professional or genetic counselor. They can provide guidance on the implications of the test results and any necessary follow-up actions. |
