Sterling Accuris Diagnostics presents the Cystic Fibrosis - CFTR (32 Mutations) Panel in Ahmedabad. This focused genetic test significantly enhances the ability to diagnose and manage cystic fibrosis (CF). This test is essential for individuals with a family history of CF or presenting symptoms indicative of this condition.
Overview of the Cystic Fibrosis - CFTR (32 Mutations) Panel
Cystic fibrosis is a life-threatening disorder that causes severe damage to the lungs, digestive system, and other organs. It affects the cells that produce mucus, sweat, and digestive juices, causing these fluids to become thick and sticky. The Cystic Fibrosis - CFTR (32 Mutations) Panel in Ahmedabad specifically tests for 32 mutations in the CFTR gene, known to be associated with the disease, offering a comprehensive genetic analysis for a condition with a significant genetic component.
Symptoms of cystic fibrosis can vary and may include:
- Frequent lung infections
- Wheezing or shortness of breath
- weight gain
- Difficulty with bowel movements
This test looks for crucial changes in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene, which uses targeted Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) to:
- Check for CF: Helps diagnose cystic fibrosis by detecting common genetic mutations.
- Find Carriers: Identifies people who carry CFTR mutations, which can be passed to children.
- Identify Mutation Types: Can spot various mutation categories affecting protein production and function, including the most common CF mutation, F508del, which disrupts how the protein is processed.
When to consider the Cystic Fibrosis - CFTR (32 Mutations) Panel?
This test is advised when:
- Symptoms suggestive of CF are present.
- There is a known family history of the disease.
- Couples are planning a family and want to assess the risk of CF in their future children.
