Detail Description

SLC12A3 Gene Gitelman syndrome NGS Genetic DNA Test cost INR:20000 symptoms diagnosis

Gitelman syndrome is an inherited kidney disorder that affects the ability of the kidneys to reabsorb salt and electrolytes. This leads to a loss of salt and potassium from the body, which can cause a range of symptoms including weakness, muscle cramps, and fatigue.

The SLC12A3 gene is responsible for producing a protein called thiazide-sensitive Na-Cl cotransporter (NCC), which is essential for the reabsorption of salt and electrolytes in the kidneys. Mutations in this gene can cause Gitelman syndrome.

NGS Genetic DNA Test is a diagnostic test that can identify mutations in the SLC12A3 gene. This test is recommended for individuals with symptoms of Gitelman syndrome or those who have a family history of the condition.

Symptoms of Gitelman syndrome

• Weakness
• Muscle cramps
• Fatigue
• Dizziness
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• High blood pressure
• Increased thirst
• Increased urination

Diagnosis of Gitelman syndrome

Diagnosis of Gitelman syndrome involves a physical examination, blood tests, and genetic testing. Blood tests may show low levels of potassium, magnesium, and calcium, as well as low levels of chloride and bicarbonate. Genetic testing can identify mutations in the SLC12A3 gene.
