WT-1 MUTATION DETECTION Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the WT-1 mutation detection test, a medical test used to detect mutations in the WT-1 gene. This gene is responsible for encoding a protein that plays a crucial role in normal kidney development and function.
Price: 2040.0 AED
Sample Condition: 4 mL (2 mL min.) whole blood / Bone marrow in 1 Lavender top (EDTA) tube. Ship refrigerated. DO NOT FREEZE.
Report Delivery: Sample Daily by 11 am; Report 18 days
Method: PCR Sequencing
Test Type: Cancer
Doctor: Nephrologist
Test Department: MOLECULAR DIAGNOSTICS
Pre Test Information: Duly filled Genomics Clinical Information Requisition Form (Form 20) is mandatory.
Test Details:
The WT-1 mutation detection test is used to identify mutations in the WT-1 gene. Mutations in this gene have been associated with various conditions, including Wilms tumor (a type of kidney cancer) and certain cases of kidney failure.
The test involves collecting a sample of blood, tissue, or other bodily fluids from the patient. This sample is then analyzed in our laboratory using techniques such as DNA sequencing or polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to identify any mutations or abnormalities in the WT-1 gene.
The results of this test can provide valuable insights into the underlying cause of a patient’s symptoms or conditions related to kidney function. This information can guide treatment decisions and prognosis.
It is important to note that the WT-1 mutation detection test should be ordered by a healthcare provider and interpreted by a qualified medical professional. Genetic testing can have significant implications, and genetic counseling is often recommended before and after undergoing such testing.
