Detail Description

STK11 Gene Peutz-Jeghers syndrome NGS Genetic DNA Test

Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is a rare genetic disorder that affects the digestive system and increases the risk of developing certain types of cancer, including breast, ovarian, and colorectal cancer. PJS is caused by mutations in the STK11 gene, which produces a protein that helps regulate cell growth and division. DNA Labs India offers a Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) Genetic DNA Test for the STK11 gene, which can help diagnose PJS and identify individuals who are at risk of developing cancer. The test costs INR 20,000 and is available at our state-of-the-art laboratory.

Symptoms of Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome

PJS is characterized by the development of benign growths called hamartomatous polyps in the digestive tract, as well as distinctive dark spots on the lips, mouth, hands, and feet. These spots are called mucocutaneous melanin pigmentation and are present at birth or develop in early childhood. Other symptoms of PJS may include:

• Abdominal pain and cramping
• Diarrhea
• Rectal bleeding
• Anemia
• Nausea and vomiting
• Weight loss

Diagnosis of Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome

Diagnosing PJS can be challenging, as the symptoms can be similar to other digestive disorders. However, genetic testing can help confirm a diagnosis of PJS and identify individuals who are at risk of developing cancer. The STK11 gene NGS Genetic DNA Test offered by DNA Labs India can detect mutations in the STK11 gene with high accuracy and sensitivity. The test requires a small blood sample, which is analyzed using advanced sequencing technologies to identify any genetic changes in the STK11 gene.

Cost of STK11 Gene Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome NGS Genetic DNA Test

The cost of the STK11 Gene Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome NGS Genetic DNA Test at DNA Labs India is INR 20,000. This includes the cost of the test itself, as well as genetic counseling and support from our team of experts.

Conclusion

Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that can increase the risk of developing certain types of cancer. The STK11 Gene NGS Genetic DNA Test offered by DNA Labs India can help diagnose PJS and identify individuals who are at risk of developing cancer. The test is highly accurate and sensitive, and the cost is affordable. If you or a loved one has symptoms of PJS, speak with your doctor about getting tested for the STK11 gene mutation.
