Detail Description

ABCC8 Gene Hypoglycemia of Infancy: Symptoms, Diagnosis, and NGS Genetic DNA Test Cost at DNA Labs India

ABCC8 gene hypoglycemia of infancy, also known as leucine-sensitive hypoglycemia, is a rare genetic disorder that affects the body's ability to regulate blood sugar levels. It is caused by mutations in the ABCC8 gene, which provides instructions for making a protein that helps control the release of insulin from the pancreas.

Symptoms of ABCC8 Gene Hypoglycemia of Infancy

The symptoms of ABCC8 gene hypoglycemia of infancy typically appear within the first few days or weeks of life and may include:

• Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)
• Seizures
• Lethargy
• Poor feeding
• Irritability
• Pale or cyanotic (bluish) skin

In severe cases, infants with ABCC8 gene hypoglycemia of infancy may experience brain damage or even death if left untreated.

Diagnosis of ABCC8 Gene Hypoglycemia of Infancy

Diagnosis of ABCC8 gene hypoglycemia of infancy typically involves a combination of clinical evaluation, blood tests to measure blood sugar levels, and genetic testing to identify mutations in the ABCC8 gene.

At DNA Labs India, we offer NGS genetic DNA testing for ABCC8 gene hypoglycemia of infancy. This test uses next-generation sequencing technology to analyze the entire ABCC8 gene, allowing for the detection of even rare mutations that may be missed by other testing methods.

NGS Genetic DNA Test Cost at DNA Labs India
