FAS Gene Autoimmune Lymphoproliferative Syndrome Type 1A NGS Genetic DNA Test: Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Cost

Autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome (ALPS) is a rare genetic disorder that affects the immune system. The FAS gene is responsible for encoding a protein that signals the immune system to destroy certain cells. In people with ALPS, mutations in the FAS gene cause the immune system to attack healthy cells, leading to an overproduction of lymphocytes and an increased risk of autoimmune diseases and lymphoma.

ALPS can be categorized into different types based on the specific genetic mutation involved. Type 1A is the most common form, caused by mutations in the FAS gene. Symptoms of ALPS type 1A can include:

• Enlarged lymph nodes, liver, or spleen
• Frequent infections
• Anemia or low platelet counts
• Autoimmune disorders such as arthritis or lupus
• Increased risk of lymphoma

Diagnosis of ALPS type 1A typically involves a combination of clinical evaluation, blood tests, and genetic testing. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) genetic testing can be used to identify mutations in the FAS gene and confirm a diagnosis of ALPS type 1A.

DNA Labs India offers NGS genetic testing for ALPS type 1A at a cost of INR 20,000. This test uses state-of-the-art technology to analyze the entire FAS gene and identify any mutations that may be present. Results are typically available within 3-4 weeks of sample collection.

If you or a loved one are experiencing symptoms of ALPS type 1A, it is important to seek medical attention and consider genetic testing. Early diagnosis and treatment can help manage symptoms and reduce the risk of complications.
