Detail Description

SFTPB Gene Surfactant Metabolism Dysfunction Type 1 NGS Genetic DNA Test

DNA Labs India offers a comprehensive SFTPB Gene Surfactant Metabolism Dysfunction Type 1 NGS Genetic DNA Test to help diagnose and manage this rare genetic disorder. This test is available at an affordable cost of INR 20,000.

What is SFTPB Gene Surfactant Metabolism Dysfunction Type 1?

SFTPB Gene Surfactant Metabolism Dysfunction Type 1 is a rare genetic disorder that affects the lungs. It is caused by mutations in the SFTPB gene, which provides instructions for making surfactant protein B. Surfactant is a substance that helps to keep the lungs open and prevents them from collapsing during breathing.

Individuals with SFTPB Gene Surfactant Metabolism Dysfunction Type 1 have a deficiency of surfactant protein B, which leads to lung damage and respiratory failure. Symptoms of this disorder typically appear in infancy or early childhood and can include difficulty breathing, rapid breathing, and recurrent lung infections.

Diagnosis of SFTPB Gene Surfactant Metabolism Dysfunction Type 1

SFTPB Gene Surfactant Metabolism Dysfunction Type 1 is diagnosed through genetic testing. The SFTPB Gene Surfactant Metabolism Dysfunction Type 1 NGS Genetic DNA Test offered by DNA Labs India is a highly accurate and reliable test that can detect mutations in the SFTPB gene.

The test involves a simple blood or saliva sample, which is sent to the laboratory for analysis. Results are typically available within a few weeks and can help to confirm a diagnosis of SFTPB Gene Surfactant Metabolism Dysfunction Type 1.

Cost of SFTPB Gene Surfactant Metabolism Dysfunction Type 1 NGS Genetic DNA Test

The cost of the SFTPB Gene Surfactant Metabolism Dysfunction Type 1 NGS Genetic DNA Test at DNA Labs India is INR 20,000. This is an affordable price for a highly accurate and reliable test that can help to diagnose and manage this rare genetic disorder.

Management of SFTPB Gene Surfactant Metabolism Dysfunction Type 1

There is currently no cure for SFTPB Gene Surfactant Metabolism Dysfunction Type 1. However, early diagnosis and management can help to improve outcomes for individuals with this disorder. Treatment may include oxygen therapy, mechanical ventilation, and medications to manage symptoms and prevent infections.

Genetic counseling may also be recommended for individuals with SFTPB Gene Surfactant Metabolism Dysfunction Type 1 and their families. This can help to provide information about the genetic basis of the disorder and the likelihood of passing it on to future generations.

Conclusion

The SFTPB Gene Surfactant Metabolism Dysfunction Type 1 NGS Genetic DNA Test offered by DNA Labs India is an affordable and reliable test that can help to diagnose and manage this rare genetic disorder. Early diagnosis and management can improve outcomes for individuals with SFTPB Gene Surfactant Metabolism Dysfunction Type 1, and genetic counseling can provide valuable information for affected individuals and their families.
