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

The maximum days for obtaining the report for the Androgen Receptor (AR) Gene Analysis Test is typically 14-21 days. However, this may vary depending on the specific laboratory or healthcare provider conducting the test.

What are the prerequisites for the test Androgen Receptor (AR) Gene Analysis Test

  • Patient must be referred by a healthcare provider
  • Signed informed consent form
  • Patient's blood sample
  • Patient's medical history
  • Patient's family history

What are the measure values for the test Androgen Receptor (AR) Gene Analysis Test

  • Test Name: Androgen Receptor (AR) Gene Analysis Test
  • Measure Values:
    • Number of CAG repeats in the AR gene
    • Normal range: 9-36 repeats
    • Abnormal range: <9 or >36 repeats

What does this test Androgen Receptor (AR) Gene Analysis Test identify?

  • This test identifies mutations in the Androgen Receptor (AR) gene.
  • It helps in diagnosing androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS) which is a genetic condition that affects sexual development in individuals with XY chromosomes.
  • It can also be used to determine the likelihood of developing certain types of cancer, such as prostate cancer.
  • The test results can provide information on the effectiveness of androgen receptor-targeted therapies in patients with hormone-sensitive cancers.

Androgen Receptor (AR) Gene Analysis Test

Why is the Androgen Receptor (AR) Gene Analysis Test taken?

The Androgen Receptor (AR) Gene Analysis Test is taken to identify mutations or variations in the Androgen Receptor gene. This gene is responsible for encoding the androgen receptor protein, which plays a crucial role in the development and functioning of male reproductive organs, as well as other tissues in both males and females.

Individuals may undergo this test if they have symptoms of androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS), which is a genetic condition that affects the body's response to androgens (male hormones). In AIS, the body is unable to respond properly to androgens, leading to a range of symptoms including abnormal development of male sexual characteristics in individuals with XY chromosomes.

Additionally, the AR gene analysis test may be recommended for individuals with suspected androgen receptor-related disorders such as androgen insensitivity syndrome, Kennedy's disease, or prostate cancer. By identifying mutations in the AR gene, healthcare providers can make more informed decisions regarding treatment options and management of these conditions.
