Detail Description

DICER1 Gene Pleuropulmonary blastoma NGS Genetic DNA Test

DNA Labs India offers a DICER1 Gene Pleuropulmonary blastoma NGS Genetic DNA Test to detect the presence of the DICER1 gene mutation that can cause pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB). PPB is a rare type of childhood lung cancer that affects the lungs and chest wall. This test can help with early detection and treatment of PPB.

Symptoms of PPB

PPB can present with a variety of symptoms, including:

• Coughing
• Shortness of breath
• Chest pain
• Fever
• Wheezing
• Weight loss
• Fatigue

If your child is experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to consult a doctor for further evaluation.

Diagnosis of PPB

Diagnosis of PPB typically involves imaging tests such as chest X-rays, CT scans, and MRI scans. A biopsy may also be performed to confirm the diagnosis.

DICER1 Gene Mutation and PPB

PPB is associated with mutations in the DICER1 gene, which plays a role in the regulation of cell growth and division. The DICER1 gene mutation can be inherited or occur spontaneously. Children with a family history of PPB or other DICER1-related tumors are at an increased risk for developing PPB.

NGS Genetic DNA Test

The DICER1 Gene Pleuropulmonary blastoma NGS Genetic DNA Test offered by DNA Labs India uses next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology to detect the presence of the DICER1 gene mutation. This test can help identify individuals who are at an increased risk for developing PPB and can aid in early detection and treatment.

Cost of the Test

The cost of the DICER1 Gene Pleuropulmonary blastoma NGS Genetic DNA Test is INR 20,000. This cost includes the test kit, sample collection, laboratory analysis, and test report.

Conclusion

The DICER1 Gene Pleuropulmonary blastoma NGS Genetic DNA Test offered by DNA Labs India can help with early detection and treatment of PPB. If your child is experiencing symptoms of PPB or has a family history of PPB or other DICER1-related tumors, consult a doctor and consider getting tested. The cost of the test is INR 20,000, which includes the test kit, sample collection, laboratory analysis, and test report.
