Detail Description

IFITM5 Gene Osteogenesis Imperfecta Type 5 NGS Genetic DNA Test Cost INR:20000 Symptoms Diagnosis

IFITM5 gene is the gene that is responsible for the production of a protein known as interferon-induced transmembrane protein 5. This protein is responsible for the regulation of bone formation and remodeling. Mutations in the IFITM5 gene can lead to Osteogenesis Imperfecta Type 5 (OI5), a rare form of brittle bone disease that affects the bones and connective tissues. NGS Genetic DNA test can be used to diagnose the disease and determine the cost of the test.

Symptoms of Osteogenesis Imperfecta Type 5

People with Osteogenesis Imperfecta Type 5 experience symptoms such as:

• Frequent fractures, especially in the legs and arms
• Weak and brittle bones
• Short stature
• Bone deformities
• Joint laxity

Diagnosis of Osteogenesis Imperfecta Type 5

NGS Genetic DNA testing is used to diagnose Osteogenesis Imperfecta Type 5. The test is performed by taking a blood or saliva sample from the patient. The sample is then analyzed in the laboratory to determine if there are any mutations in the IFITM5 gene that are responsible for the disease. The cost of the NGS Genetic DNA test is INR 20000.

Conclusion

Osteogenesis Imperfecta Type 5 is a rare form of brittle bone disease that is caused by mutations in the IFITM5 gene. The NGS Genetic DNA test can be used to diagnose the disease and determine its cost. People who experience symptoms such as frequent fractures, weak and brittle bones, short stature, bone deformities, and joint laxity should consult a doctor to get tested for Osteogenesis Imperfecta Type 5.
