CYP2R1 Gene Rickets Vitamin D 25-Hydroxylation-Deficient Type 1B NGS Genetic DNA Test
Introduction
The CYP2R1 Gene Rickets Vitamin D 25-Hydroxylation-Deficient Type 1B NGS Genetic DNA Test is an advanced diagnostic tool used to identify genetic mutations that affect vitamin D metabolism. This test is particularly important for individuals who exhibit symptoms of rickets or other metabolic disorders. By utilizing Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, this test provides comprehensive insights into the genetic factors influencing vitamin D levels in the body.
What the Test Measures
This genetic test measures the presence of mutations in the CYP2R1 gene, which is crucial for the 25-hydroxylation of vitamin D. By detecting these mutations, healthcare providers can better understand the underlying causes of vitamin D deficiency and related disorders.
Who Should Consider This Test
Individuals who should consider the CYP2R1 Gene Rickets test include:
- Those with a family history of rickets or vitamin D deficiency.
- Patients exhibiting symptoms such as bone pain, muscle weakness, or skeletal deformities.
- Individuals with metabolic disorders related to calcium and phosphorus metabolism.
Benefits of Taking the Test
Taking the CYP2R1 Gene Rickets test offers several benefits:
- Accurate diagnosis of genetic conditions affecting vitamin D metabolism.
- Informed treatment options based on genetic insights.
- Enhanced understanding of familial health risks associated with metabolic disorders.
Understanding Your Results
After completing the test, results will be interpreted by a qualified genetic counselor or physician. They will guide you through the findings, explaining any mutations detected and their implications for your health. Understanding your genetic makeup can empower you to make informed decisions about your health and lifestyle.
Test Details
| Test Name | Discount Price (KSh) | Regular Price (KSh) |
|---|---|---|
| CYP2R1 Gene Rickets Vitamin D 25-Hydroxylation-Deficient Type 1B NGS Genetic DNA Test | 40,000 | 56,000 |
Additional Information
Turnaround time for results is approximately 3 to 4 weeks. The test requires a sample of blood, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card. Prior to testing, a clinical history of the patient is necessary, along with a genetic counseling session to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by rickets or vitamin D deficiency.
