Detail Description

PDGFR Mutation Screening (Exons 12, 14, 18) Cost INR:12000 Symptoms Diagnosis

PDGFR (platelet-derived growth factor receptor) is a gene that codes for a protein involved in cell growth and division. Mutations in this gene can lead to various diseases, including gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) and chronic eosinophilic leukemia (CEL).

PDGFR mutation screening is a genetic test that looks for mutations in specific regions of the PDGFR gene (exons 12, 14, and 18). This test can help diagnose and guide treatment for GISTs and CEL.

PDGFR Mutation Screening Cost

At DNA Labs India, we offer PDGFR mutation screening for INR 12000. This includes the cost of sample collection, genetic testing, and result interpretation.

PDGFR Mutation Screening Symptoms

The symptoms of GISTs and CEL can vary depending on the location and size of the tumor. Some common symptoms include:

• Abdominal pain or discomfort
• Bloating or fullness
• Nausea or vomiting
• Difficulty swallowing
• Fatigue
• Unexplained weight loss
• Shortness of breath
• Fever or night sweats
• Itchy skin

PDGFR Mutation Screening Diagnosis

If you are experiencing any of the above symptoms, it is important to see a doctor for proper diagnosis. Your doctor may order imaging tests, such as a CT scan or MRI, to look for tumors. A biopsy may also be necessary to confirm the diagnosis.

If you are diagnosed with GISTs or CEL, your doctor may recommend PDGFR mutation screening to determine the best treatment plan. This test can help identify specific mutations that may respond to targeted therapies, such as imatinib.
