Understanding IDH2 Gene and Selective Sequencing of Exon 4 NGS Genetic Test
DNA testing has become an important tool for diagnosing genetic disorders and identifying potential health risks. One such test is the Selective Sequencing of Exon 4 NGS Genetic Test, which looks for mutations in the IDH2 gene. In this blog, we will discuss the IDH2 gene, how mutations in this gene can affect your health, and the cost of the Selective Sequencing of Exon 4 NGS Genetic Test offered by DNA Labs India.
What is IDH2 Gene?
The IDH2 gene is located on chromosome 15 and provides instructions for making the isocitrate dehydrogenase 2 (IDH2) enzyme. This enzyme plays a crucial role in the metabolism of cells, converting isocitrate to alpha-ketoglutarate, which is used in energy production and other cellular processes.
Research has shown that mutations in the IDH2 gene can lead to the production of a faulty IDH2 enzyme, which can affect the normal functioning of cells. These mutations have been linked to various health conditions, including cancer.
Selective Sequencing of Exon 4 NGS Genetic Test
The Selective Sequencing of Exon 4 NGS Genetic Test is a type of DNA test that looks for mutations specifically in exon 4 of the IDH2 gene. Exon 4 is the part of the gene that codes for the active site of the IDH2 enzyme. Mutations in this region can lead to a change in the structure of the enzyme, affecting its normal functioning.
This test uses next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology, which allows for the rapid and accurate sequencing of large amounts of DNA. The test requires a small blood or saliva sample, which is sent to a laboratory for analysis.
Symptoms and Diagnosis of IDH2 Mutations
Most people with IDH2 mutations do not experience any symptoms. However, in some cases, mutations in this gene have been linked to certain health conditions, including:
- Acute myeloid leukemia (AML)
- Gliomas
- Cholangiocarcinoma
- Chondrosarcoma
If you have a family history of any of these conditions or are experiencing unexplained symptoms, your doctor may recommend genetic testing, including the Selective Sequencing of Exon 4 NGS Genetic Test.
Cost of the Selective Sequencing of Exon 4 NGS Genetic Test
The cost of the Selective Sequencing of Exon 4 NGS Genetic Test offered by DNA Labs India is INR 20,000. This test is performed by highly qualified and experienced geneticists using state-of-the-art technology to ensure accurate results.
It is important to note that this test may not be covered by insurance, and patients should check with their insurance provider before undergoing genetic testing.
Conclusion
The Selective Sequencing of Exon 4 NGS Genetic Test offered by DNA Labs India is a valuable tool for identifying mutations in the IDH2 gene, which can have significant implications for your health. If you have a family history of certain health conditions or are experiencing unexplained symptoms, talk to your doctor about the benefits of genetic testing and whether the Selective Sequencing of Exon 4 NGS Genetic Test is right for you.
