FLT3/ITD Allelic Ratio Test – Cost, Symptoms, Diagnosis

DNA Labs India offers the FLT3/ITD Allelic Ratio Test which is a genetic test used to diagnose acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a type of blood cancer. This test can detect a mutation in the FLT3 gene that is present in about 25-30% of patients with AML.

What is FLT3/ITD Allelic Ratio Test?

The FLT3 gene provides instructions for making a protein that helps regulate the growth and division of blood cells. In some cases of AML, a mutation occurs in the FLT3 gene that causes the protein to be overactive, leading to uncontrolled growth and division of blood cells. This mutation is called FLT3/ITD (internal tandem duplication).

The FLT3/ITD Allelic Ratio Test measures the ratio of mutated FLT3 genes to normal FLT3 genes in a patient's blood or bone marrow. This ratio can help determine the prognosis and guide the treatment of AML.

What are the Symptoms of AML?

AML can cause a variety of symptoms, including:

• Fatigue
• Shortness of breath
• Pale skin
• Fever
• Night sweats
• Loss of appetite
• Weight loss
• Bone pain
• Easy bruising or bleeding

However, some patients with AML may not have any symptoms at all, and the disease may be discovered during a routine blood test.

How is AML Diagnosed?

AML is typically diagnosed through a combination of blood tests, bone marrow biopsy, and imaging tests. The FLT3/ITD Allelic Ratio Test is one of the genetic tests that may be used to help diagnose AML.

FLT3/ITD Allelic Ratio Test Cost

The cost of the FLT3/ITD Allelic Ratio Test at DNA Labs India is INR 7500.

Conclusion

The FLT3/ITD Allelic Ratio Test is an important tool in the diagnosis and treatment of AML. If you or someone you know is experiencing symptoms of AML or has been diagnosed with AML, talk to your doctor about whether genetic testing, including the FLT3/ITD Allelic Ratio Test, may be appropriate.
