This test utilizes Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to analyze the AGXT gene, which plays a significant role in the metabolism of oxalate. By detecting mutations in this gene, healthcare providers can determine the risk of developing hyperoxaluria type 1.
Who Should Consider This Test
Individuals who may benefit from this test include:
- Those with a family history of kidney stones or hyperoxaluria.
- Patients presenting symptoms such as recurrent kidney stones, renal failure, or metabolic disorders.
- Individuals undergoing genetic counseling for hereditary conditions.
Benefits of Taking the Test
Taking the AGXT Gene Hyperoxaluria Type 1 NGS Genetic DNA Test offers several advantages:
- Early detection of genetic predispositions to hyperoxaluria.
- Informed decision-making regarding lifestyle and dietary changes.
- Guidance for family planning and genetic counseling.
- Access to tailored treatment options based on genetic findings.
