ATP7B Gene Wilson Disease NGS Genetic DNA Test
Introduction
The ATP7B Gene Wilson Disease NGS Genetic DNA Test is a specialized genetic test designed to detect mutations in the ATP7B gene, which is responsible for Wilson’s disease, a rare but serious metabolic disorder. This condition leads to excessive accumulation of copper in the body, affecting the liver, brain, and other vital organs. Early diagnosis through genetic testing is essential for effective management and treatment, making this test a critical tool in modern medicine.
What the Test Measures/Detects
This test utilizes Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to analyze the ATP7B gene for specific mutations. By identifying these genetic changes, healthcare providers can determine an individual’s risk of developing Wilson’s disease and tailor management plans accordingly.
Who Should Consider This Test
Individuals who may benefit from the ATP7B Gene Wilson Disease NGS Genetic DNA Test include:
- Those with a family history of Wilson’s disease.
- Patients exhibiting symptoms such as liver dysfunction, neurological issues, or psychiatric disorders.
- Individuals who have been diagnosed with unexplained liver disease.
Benefits of Taking the Test
Taking the ATP7B Gene Wilson Disease NGS Genetic DNA Test offers several advantages:
- Early detection of Wilson’s disease, allowing for timely intervention.
- Informed decision-making regarding treatment options and lifestyle changes.
- Genetic counseling for affected families, helping to understand inheritance patterns.
- Peace of mind for individuals concerned about their genetic risk.
Understanding Your Results
Results from the ATP7B Gene Wilson Disease NGS Genetic DNA Test will indicate whether mutations are present in the ATP7B gene. A genetic counselor or healthcare provider will explain the findings, discuss potential implications, and recommend any necessary follow-up actions.
Test Name and Price
| Test Name | Discount Price | Regular Price |
|---|---|---|
| ATP7B Gene Wilson Disease NGS Genetic DNA Test | 40,000 KSh | 56,000 KSh |
Additional Information
Turnaround time for results is approximately 3 to 4 weeks. The sample type required for this test can be blood, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card. Prior to testing, patients should undergo a genetic counseling session to review their clinical history and create a pedigree chart of family members affected by Wilson’s disease.
