What is the maximum days the report can be obtained for the test

The maximum days the report can be obtained for the test Hereditary Fructose Intolerance (ALDOB) Gene Sequencing Test is typically within 14-21 days from the date of sample collection.

What are the prerequisites for the test Hereditary Fructose Intolerance (ALDOB) Gene Sequencing Test

  • Patients must be following a fructose-restricted diet for at least 1 week prior to testing
  • Patients must avoid fruits, fruit juices, honey, and high-fructose corn syrup during the fasting period
  • Patients must not have taken any medications containing fructose or sorbitol for at least 48 hours before the test
  • Patients should inform their healthcare provider of any medications or supplements they are currently taking

What are the measure values for the test Hereditary Fructose Intolerance (ALDOB) Gene Sequencing Test

  • Gene: ALDOB
  • Method: Gene Sequencing
  • Sample Type: Blood or saliva
  • Test Type: Hereditary Fructose Intolerance
  • Turnaround Time: 3-4 weeks

What does this test Hereditary Fructose Intolerance (ALDOB) Gene Sequencing Test identify?

  1. Hereditary Fructose Intolerance (ALDOB) Gene Sequencing Test identifies mutations in the ALDOB gene that are associated with Hereditary Fructose Intolerance (HFI).
  2. HFI is a rare genetic disorder that impairs the ability of the body to metabolize fructose, leading to a buildup of toxic byproducts and causing various symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and hypoglycemia.
  3. This test helps in confirming a diagnosis of HFI in individuals with symptoms suggestive of the condition and can also be used for carrier testing in family members of affected individuals.
  4. Identifying mutations in the ALDOB gene through this test can guide treatment and management strategies for individuals with HFI, including dietary restrictions and avoiding fructose-containing foods.
  5. Overall, the Hereditary Fructose Intolerance (ALDOB) Gene Sequencing Test plays a crucial role in the accurate diagnosis and management of individuals with HFI, allowing for personalized care and improved quality of life.

Why is this test Hereditary Fructose Intolerance (ALDOB) Gene Sequencing Test taken?

Hereditary Fructose Intolerance (ALDOB) Gene Sequencing Test is taken to diagnose a genetic disorder called hereditary fructose intolerance. This test is recommended for individuals who have symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and hypoglycemia after consuming fructose-containing foods.

The test helps in identifying mutations in the ALDOB gene, which is responsible for encoding the enzyme aldolase B. Deficiency of this enzyme can lead to the accumulation of fructose-1-phosphate in the liver, resulting in the symptoms of hereditary fructose intolerance.

Early diagnosis through genetic testing can help in managing the condition by avoiding fructose-containing foods and following a specific diet. It can also help in preventing severe complications such as liver and kidney damage.
