What does this test KIT Gene Analysis, 4 Exons (9, 11, 13, 17) Test by NGS identify?

Test: KIT Gene Analysis, 4 Exons (9, 11, 13, 17) Test by NGS

This test uses Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to analyze four specific exons (exons 9, 11, 13, and 17) of the KIT gene. The KIT gene provides instructions for making a protein that plays a crucial role in cell signaling and growth.

The test can identify mutations or variations in these exons that may be associated with certain medical conditions, such as gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), mast cell disorders, and certain types of leukemia.

By analyzing these specific exons, healthcare providers can gain valuable insights into a patient's genetic makeup and potential risk for developing certain diseases. This information can help guide treatment decisions and personalized medicine approaches.

Why is this test KIT Gene Analysis, 4 Exons (9, 11, 13, 17) Test by NGS taken?

Reasons for Taking the KIT Gene Analysis Test

  • Identification of Mutations: The test is used to identify mutations in the KIT gene that are associated with certain genetic disorders.
  • Diagnosis of Diseases: The test can help in diagnosing diseases such as gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), mastocytosis, and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that are linked to KIT gene mutations.
  • Treatment Planning: Knowing the specific mutations in the KIT gene can help healthcare providers tailor treatment plans for individuals with these genetic conditions.
  • Genetic Counseling: Results from the test can provide valuable information for genetic counseling and family planning for individuals with KIT gene mutations.
