SDHD Gene Carcinoid Tumors Intestinal NGS Genetic DNA Test
Introduction
The SDHD Gene Carcinoid Tumors Intestinal NGS Genetic DNA Test is a specialized genetic test designed to analyze the SDHD gene, which plays a crucial role in the development of carcinoid tumors. Carcinoid tumors are a type of cancer that can arise in the gastrointestinal tract and are often associated with neuroendocrine cells. Understanding your genetic predisposition to these tumors can be pivotal in early detection and management.
What the Test Measures
This test utilizes Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to detect mutations in the SDHD gene. By identifying these mutations, healthcare providers can assess the risk of developing carcinoid tumors, allowing for proactive health management.
Who Should Consider This Test
- Individuals with a family history of carcinoid tumors or related cancers.
- Patients exhibiting symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, or flushing.
- Those with known genetic predispositions to cancers.
Benefits of Taking the Test
- Early identification of genetic risks associated with carcinoid tumors.
- Informed decision-making regarding surveillance and preventive measures.
- Access to tailored treatment options based on genetic findings.
Understanding Your Results
Results from the SDHD Gene Carcinoid Tumors Intestinal NGS Genetic DNA Test will indicate whether any mutations are present in the SDHD gene. A genetic counseling session is recommended to help interpret these results and discuss potential implications for you and your family.
Test Pricing
| Test Name | Discount Price | Regular Price |
