Detail Description

LRMDA Gene Albinism, Oculocutaneous Type 7 NGS Genetic DNA Test

Albinism is a rare genetic disorder that affects the production of melanin, the pigment that gives color to the skin, hair, and eyes. There are several types of albinism, and one of them is oculocutaneous type 7 (OCA7) caused by mutations in the LRMDA gene. DNA Labs India offers a Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) genetic DNA test for OCA7 at a cost of INR 20,000. Here's what you need to know about this test.

Symptoms of Oculocutaneous Type 7 Albinism

People with OCA7 albinism have little or no melanin in their skin, hair, and eyes. This can cause a range of symptoms, including:

• Pale skin that burns easily in the sun
• Light-colored hair and eyes
• Nystagmus (involuntary eye movements)
• Reduced visual acuity
• Sensitivity to bright light
• Crossed eyes or strabismus
• Abnormal eye movements

Diagnosis of Oculocutaneous Type 7 Albinism

OCA7 albinism is diagnosed based on a physical examination, eye exam, and genetic testing. The NGS genetic DNA test offered by DNA Labs India analyzes the LRMDA gene to identify mutations that are associated with OCA7 albinism. This test is highly accurate and can provide a definitive diagnosis.

Cost of NGS Genetic DNA Test for OCA7 Albinism

The cost of the NGS genetic DNA test for OCA7 albinism offered by DNA Labs India is INR 20,000. This test is performed using state-of-the-art technology and is highly accurate. It can provide a definitive diagnosis of OCA7 albinism, allowing for appropriate medical management and genetic counseling.

Conclusion

Oculocutaneous type 7 albinism is a rare genetic disorder that affects the production of melanin. The LRMDA gene is responsible for this condition, and DNA Labs India offers a Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) genetic DNA test for OCA7 at a cost of INR 20,000. This test is highly accurate and can provide a definitive diagnosis, allowing for appropriate medical management and genetic counseling.

If you or a loved one are experiencing symptoms of OCA7 albinism, talk to your healthcare provider about genetic testing options. DNA Labs India is committed to providing accurate, reliable genetic testing services to help diagnose and manage genetic conditions.
