Detail Description

MEN1 Gene Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 1 NGS Genetic DNA Test

Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 1 (MEN1) is a rare genetic disorder that affects the endocrine system and causes tumors to develop in multiple glands of the body. The MEN1 gene is responsible for producing a protein that helps regulate cell growth and division. Mutations in this gene can result in the development of tumors in the pituitary gland, parathyroid gland, and pancreas.

Symptoms of MEN1 Gene Mutation

The symptoms of MEN1 can vary widely depending on which glands are affected by the tumors. Some common symptoms of MEN1 gene mutation include:

• Hyperparathyroidism: This condition is characterized by an excess of parathyroid hormone in the blood, leading to high levels of calcium in the body. Symptoms may include fatigue, weakness, kidney stones, and bone pain.
• Pituitary tumors: These tumors can cause a variety of symptoms, including headaches, vision problems, and hormone imbalances.
• Pancreatic tumors: These tumors can cause abdominal pain, digestive issues, and hormone imbalances.

Diagnosis of MEN1 Gene Mutation

MEN1 is typically diagnosed through a combination of genetic testing and medical imaging. DNA Labs India offers a MEN1 NGS Genetic DNA Test that can detect mutations in the MEN1 gene and help diagnose the condition.

The test involves collecting a small blood sample from the patient and analyzing it for mutations in the MEN1 gene. If a mutation is detected, further testing may be necessary to determine the extent of the tumors and plan appropriate treatment.

Cost of MEN1 NGS Genetic DNA Test

The cost of the MEN1 NGS Genetic DNA Test at DNA Labs India is INR 20,000. This cost includes the genetic testing and analysis, as well as any necessary counseling and follow-up testing.

Conclusion

If you or a loved one is experiencing symptoms of MEN1, it is important to seek medical attention and consider genetic testing to determine if a mutation in the MEN1 gene is responsible. The MEN1 NGS Genetic DNA Test offered by DNA Labs India can provide valuable information for diagnosis and treatment planning.

Remember, early detection and treatment can improve outcomes and quality of life for those affected by MEN1.
