Detail Description

HSD11B2 Gene Apparent Mineralocorticoid Excess NGS Genetic DNA Test

Apparent Mineralocorticoid Excess (AME) is a rare genetic disorder that affects the way the body handles salt and water. This condition is caused by mutations in the HSD11B2 gene that encodes an enzyme that regulates the production of aldosterone, a hormone that helps control blood pressure and electrolyte balance in the body.

Symptoms of Apparent Mineralocorticoid Excess

The symptoms of AME can vary depending on the severity of the condition. Some common symptoms include:

• High blood pressure
• Low potassium levels
• Frequent urination
• Increased thirst
• Muscle weakness

Diagnosis of Apparent Mineralocorticoid Excess

AME is diagnosed through a combination of clinical evaluation, biochemical tests, and genetic testing. A doctor may order blood and urine tests to check for high levels of aldosterone and low levels of potassium. Genetic testing can confirm the diagnosis and identify the specific HSD11B2 gene mutation responsible for the condition.

HSD11B2 Gene Apparent Mineralocorticoid Excess NGS Genetic DNA Test

The HSD11B2 Gene Apparent Mineralocorticoid Excess NGS Genetic DNA Test is a specialized genetic test that can detect mutations in the HSD11B2 gene. This test uses Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to analyze the entire coding region of the HSD11B2 gene and identify any mutations that may be present.
