What does this test Pulmonary Surfactant Metabolism Dysfunction Gene Panel identify?

  • Pulmonary Surfactant Metabolism Dysfunction Gene Panel identifies mutations in genes associated with surfactant metabolism dysfunction disorders.
  • It specifically looks for mutations in genes such as ABCA3, SFTPC, SFTPB, and NKX2-1.
  • These mutations can lead to various lung diseases such as interstitial lung disease, pulmonary fibrosis, and surfactant protein deficiencies.
  • Identification of these mutations can help in diagnosing and managing these conditions, as well as providing information on genetic counseling and family planning.

Why is this test Pulmonary Surfactant Metabolism Dysfunction Gene Panel taken?

  • This test is taken to diagnose rare genetic disorders that affect pulmonary surfactant metabolism.
  • Pulmonary surfactant is a substance that coats the inside of the lungs and helps them expand and contract smoothly during breathing.
  • Dysfunction in pulmonary surfactant metabolism can lead to respiratory distress and other lung problems.
  • The gene panel test looks for mutations in specific genes known to be associated with pulmonary surfactant metabolism dysfunction.
  • Results from this test can help healthcare providers determine the best course of treatment for patients with these genetic disorders.
