EDA Gene Ectodermal Dysplasia Hypohidrotic X-linked NGS Genetic DNA Test
Introduction
The EDA Gene Ectodermal Dysplasia Hypohidrotic X-linked NGS Genetic DNA Test is an advanced diagnostic procedure that employs Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to identify mutations in the EDA gene. This test is essential for individuals who may be at risk for ectodermal dysplasia, a genetic condition that affects the development of skin, hair, teeth, and sweat glands.
What the Test Measures
This genetic test specifically measures changes or mutations in the EDA gene that are responsible for hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia. It provides critical insights into the genetic factors contributing to this condition.
Who Should Consider This Test
Individuals exhibiting symptoms such as:
- Reduced sweating
- Abnormalities in hair, teeth, and skin
- Family history of ectodermal dysplasia
should consider this test. Additionally, those with risk factors related to genetic predisposition may also benefit.
Benefits of Taking the Test
- Early diagnosis and intervention
- Informed decision-making regarding health and family planning
- Access to specialized care and management options
- Understanding of genetic risks for family members
Understanding Your Results
Your test results will provide insights into whether a mutation in the EDA gene is present. Positive results may indicate a higher risk for developing ectodermal dysplasia, while negative results can offer reassurance. It is important to discuss your results with a healthcare provider to understand their implications fully.
Test Pricing
| Test Name | Discount Price | Regular Price |

| EDA Gene Ectodermal Dysplasia Hypohidrotic X-linked NGS Genetic DNA Test | 40,000 KSh | 56,000 KSh |
Sample Collection and Turnaround Time
The sample type required for this test includes blood or extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card. The turnaround time for results is typically between 3 to 4 weeks.
Pre-Test Instructions
It is recommended that patients undergo a genetic counseling session to discuss their clinical history and to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by the EDA gene.
