ABCA1 Gene Tangier Disease NGS Genetic DNA Test
Introduction
The ABCA1 Gene Tangier Disease NGS Genetic DNA Test is an advanced diagnostic tool that plays a critical role in identifying Tangier disease, a rare genetic disorder characterized by low levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. This test utilizes Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to analyze the ABCA1 gene, which is essential for lipid metabolism and cholesterol transport in the body. Understanding your genetic predisposition to this condition can empower you to take proactive steps towards managing your health.
What the Test Measures
This genetic test specifically detects mutations in the ABCA1 gene that are associated with Tangier disease. By analyzing your DNA, the test provides insights into your genetic makeup and potential risks for developing metabolic disorders linked to abnormal cholesterol levels.
