SLC26A6 Gene Hyperoxaluria NGS Genetic DNA Test
Comprehensive Genetic Testing for Metabolic Disorders
The SLC26A6 Gene Hyperoxaluria NGS Genetic DNA Test represents a breakthrough in genetic diagnostics for metabolic disorders. This advanced test specifically targets the SLC26A6 gene, which plays a critical role in oxalate transport and metabolism within the human body. Hyperoxaluria, particularly the SLC26A6-related form, is a rare inherited condition characterized by excessive oxalate production that can lead to severe kidney complications, including recurrent kidney stones and potential kidney failure.
What This Test Measures and Detects
Our comprehensive NGS-based genetic analysis examines the complete coding region of the SLC26A6 gene to identify:
- Pathogenic mutations affecting oxalate transport function
- Single nucleotide variants (SNVs) and small insertions/deletions
- Genetic variants associated with impaired renal oxalate excretion
- Inheritance patterns of hyperoxaluria within families
- Risk assessment for developing kidney stones and related complications
Who Should Consider This Test
This genetic test is recommended for individuals experiencing:
- Recurrent kidney stones, especially in childhood or young adulthood
- Family history of hyperoxaluria or unexplained kidney disease
- Elevated urinary oxalate levels without clear secondary causes
- Early-onset renal failure with oxalate crystal deposition
- Systemic oxalosis affecting multiple organs
- Unexplained nephrocalcinosis on imaging studies
Key Benefits of Genetic Testing
- Accurate Diagnosis: Provides definitive genetic confirmation of SLC26A6-related hyperoxaluria
- Personalized Treatment: Enables targeted therapeutic interventions based on genetic findings
- Family Planning: Offers valuable information for reproductive decisions and genetic counseling
- Early Intervention: Facilitates proactive management to prevent kidney damage
- Comprehensive Care: Supports multidisciplinary approach involving nephrologists and genetic specialists
Understanding Your Test Results
Your genetic test results will be carefully interpreted by our team of certified genetic counselors and medical geneticists. Positive results indicating pathogenic SLC26A6 mutations confirm the diagnosis of primary hyperoxaluria and guide specific treatment recommendations. Negative results help rule out this specific genetic form of hyperoxaluria, directing further diagnostic evaluation toward other potential causes. All results include detailed explanations and recommendations for next steps in clinical management.
