SLC10A2 Gene Bile Acid Malabsorption: Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Primary NGS Genetic DNA Test Cost

Bile acid malabsorption (BAM) is a disorder that affects the digestive system. It is caused by the inability to properly absorb bile acids, which are produced by the liver and help to digest fats. The SLC10A2 gene is responsible for the production of bile acid transporters. Mutations in this gene can cause primary bile acid malabsorption (PBAM), a type of BAM that is inherited.

DNA Labs India offers a primary NGS genetic DNA test for the SLC10A2 gene, which can help diagnose PBAM. The cost of this test is INR 20,000.

Symptoms of PBAM

People with PBAM may experience a range of symptoms, including:

• Diarrhea
• Abdominal pain
• Bloating
• Flatulence
• Weight loss
• Malnutrition

These symptoms can be mild or severe and may be intermittent or chronic.

Diagnosing PBAM

If you are experiencing symptoms of BAM, your doctor may order tests to diagnose the condition. These tests may include:

• Blood tests to check for malabsorption and other digestive disorders
• Fecal fat test to measure the amount of fat in your stool
• SeHCAT test to measure the amount of bile acid in your body
• Endoscopy to examine your digestive tract

If these tests are inconclusive, your doctor may recommend genetic testing to look for mutations in the SLC10A2 gene.

Primary NGS Genetic DNA Test Cost

The primary NGS genetic DNA test for the SLC10A2 gene is available at DNA Labs India for INR 20,000. This test uses next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology to look for mutations in the SLC10A2 gene.

The test requires a blood or saliva sample, which is sent to the lab for analysis. Results are typically available within two to three weeks.

Conclusion

Bile acid malabsorption can be a debilitating condition that affects your quality of life. If you are experiencing symptoms of BAM, it is important to talk to your doctor about testing options. The primary NGS genetic DNA test for the SLC10A2 gene offered by DNA Labs India can help diagnose primary bile acid malabsorption and provide you with the information you need to manage your condition.

Remember, early detection and treatment can help prevent complications and improve your overall health and well-being.
