MTTP Gene Abetalipoproteinemia NGS Genetic DNA Test
Introduction
The MTTP Gene Abetalipoproteinemia NGS Genetic DNA Test is a cutting-edge diagnostic tool that plays a vital role in identifying genetic predispositions to metabolic disorders, particularly those affecting lipid metabolism. This test utilizes Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to analyze the MTTP gene, which is crucial for the proper absorption of fats and fat-soluble vitamins in the intestines.
What the Test Measures
This test measures mutations in the MTTP gene that can lead to abetalipoproteinemia, a rare genetic disorder characterized by the inability to transport lipids. By identifying these mutations, healthcare providers can better understand a patient’s risk of developing related health issues.
Who Should Consider This Test
Individuals who may benefit from the MTTP Gene Abetalipoproteinemia NGS Genetic DNA Test include:
- Patients with symptoms such as fat malabsorption, failure to thrive, and neurological issues.
- Individuals with a family history of metabolic disorders.
- Those experiencing unexplained nutritional deficiencies.
Benefits of Taking the Test
Taking the MTTP Gene Abetalipoproteinemia NGS Genetic DNA Test offers numerous benefits, including:
- Accurate diagnosis of genetic conditions.
- Guidance for treatment options and lifestyle changes.
- Informed family planning and genetic counseling.
- Peace of mind for patients and their families.
Understanding Your Results
Results from the MTTP Gene Abetalipoproteinemia NGS Genetic DNA Test will provide insights into whether any mutations are present in the MTTP gene. A genetic counselor or healthcare provider will help interpret these results and discuss potential next steps.
Test Pricing
| Test Name | Discount Price | Regular Price |
|---|---|---|
| MTTP Gene Abetalipoproteinemia NGS Genetic DNA Test | 40,000 KSh | 56,000 KSh |
Additional Information
Turnaround time for the test results is approximately 3 to 4 weeks. The sample type required can be blood, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card. It is important to have a clinical history of the patient and a genetic counseling session to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by Abetalipoproteinemia before taking the test.
