MLH3 Gene Colorectal Cancer - Hereditary Nonpolyposis Type 7 NGS Genetic DNA Test Cost INR 20000 Symptoms Diagnosis

Colorectal cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. It is estimated that approximately 10-15% of all colorectal cancers are hereditary, which means that they are caused by genetic mutations that are passed down through families. Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) is one such condition that is caused by mutations in certain genes.

The MLH3 gene is one of the genes that has been linked to HNPCC. Mutations in this gene can increase the risk of developing colorectal cancer, as well as other types of cancer such as endometrial, ovarian, and gastric cancer.

Symptoms of MLH3 Gene Colorectal Cancer

The symptoms of MLH3 gene colorectal cancer are similar to those of non-hereditary colorectal cancer. These symptoms may include:

• Changes in bowel habits, such as diarrhea or constipation
• Blood in the stool
• Abdominal pain or cramping
• Unexplained weight loss
• Fatigue

Diagnosis of MLH3 Gene Colorectal Cancer

Diagnosis of MLH3 gene colorectal cancer involves a combination of tests, including:

• Colonoscopy: This test allows doctors to examine the entire length of the colon and rectum.
• Tissue biopsy: A small sample of tissue is taken from the colon or rectum and examined under a microscope to look for cancer cells.
• Blood tests: Certain blood tests can help to detect the presence of genetic mutations that may increase the risk of developing colorectal cancer.

NGS Genetic DNA Test Cost INR 20000

If you have a family history of colorectal cancer or other types of cancer, you may be at increased risk of developing MLH3 gene colorectal cancer. In such cases, it is recommended that you undergo genetic testing to determine whether you have inherited a genetic mutation that increases your risk of developing cancer.

At DNA Labs India, we offer an NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) genetic DNA test for MLH3 gene colorectal cancer. The cost of this test is INR 20000.

Conclusion

If you are concerned about your risk of developing MLH3 gene colorectal cancer or any other hereditary cancer, it is important to speak with your doctor about genetic testing. Early detection and treatment can greatly improve your chances of survival.
