FBP1 Gene Fructose-1,6-Bisphosphatase Deficiency NGS Genetic DNA Test
Introduction
The FBP1 Gene Fructose-1,6-Bisphosphatase Deficiency NGS Genetic DNA Test is a specialized diagnostic tool aimed at identifying genetic mutations associated with fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase deficiency. This metabolic disorder can lead to serious health issues, including hypoglycemia and metabolic crises. Early diagnosis through this test is vital for effective management and treatment.
What the Test Measures
This genetic test detects mutations in the FBP1 gene, which is responsible for encoding the enzyme fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase. This enzyme plays a crucial role in gluconeogenesis, the process of producing glucose from non-carbohydrate sources. A deficiency can disrupt this process, leading to metabolic disorders.
Who Should Consider This Test?
The FBP1 Gene Fructose-1,6-Bisphosphatase Deficiency NGS Genetic DNA Test is recommended for individuals who:
- Experience symptoms of fructose intolerance, such as hypoglycemia, fatigue, or abdominal pain.
- Have a family history of metabolic disorders.
- Are advised to undergo genetic testing by a healthcare provider.
Benefits of Taking the Test
Taking the FBP1 Gene test offers several benefits:
- Accurate diagnosis of fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase deficiency.
- Informed decision-making regarding dietary and lifestyle changes.
- Guidance for family planning and genetic counseling.
- Access to specialized care and management options.
Understanding Your Results
Results from the FBP1 Gene test will provide insights into your genetic predisposition to fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase deficiency. A genetic counseling session is recommended to interpret the results and discuss potential implications for you and your family.

Additional Information
Turnaround time for results is approximately 3 to 4 weeks. The sample type required for this test can be blood or extracted DNA, or even 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 fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase deficiency.
For more information on metabolic disorders and genetic testing, consult with a general physician or a genetics specialist.
