UGT1A1 Genotyping for Gilbert Syndrome<\/em><\/p>\n

Serum, NA, Fasting or Non Fasting: As suggested by doctor<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"sampleSample Required:<\/span><\/h3>\n

This test requires a blood sample. About 6 mL to 10 mL of whole blood is collected in an EDTA tube and kept at room temperature (15\u00b0C to 30\u00b0C) before it is processed by the laboratory.<\/p>\n

\"testTest Time:<\/span><\/h3>\n

The blood draw takes only a few minutes. Once the sample reaches the lab, the results are typically available within 8 to 12 working days.<\/p>\n

\"testTest Normal Range:<\/span><\/h3>\n

There is no fixed \u201cnormal range\u201d for this test. Instead, the results show whether a person carries specific UGT1A1 gene variants associated with Gilbert syndrome.<\/p>\n

\"whatWhat is the Test?<\/span><\/h3>\n

This test checks for changes in the UGT1A1 gene, which plays a key role in processing bilirubin in the body. Variants in this gene can cause Gilbert syndrome, a mild condition where bilirubin levels rise and may cause occasional jaundice. The test also helps assess the risk of side effects from certain medicines, such as irinotecan (a chemotherapy drug).<\/p>\n

\"testTest Procedure:<\/span><\/h3>\n

A healthcare professional draws a blood sample from a vein in your arm. The laboratory then analyses your DNA using specialised techniques to identify any UGT1A1 gene variations.<\/p>\n

\"whenWhen to Take the Test:<\/span><\/h3>\n

Doctors may recommend this test if you have unexplained high bilirubin levels, symptoms of mild jaundice, or before starting certain medications that rely on the UGT1A1 enzyme for safe breakdown.<\/p>\n

\"whoWho Should Take This Test:<\/span><\/h3>\n

Individuals with suspected Gilbert syndrome, those with fluctuating bilirubin levels, and patients who are about to begin treatments like irinotecan that can be affected by UGT1A1 gene changes.<\/p>\n

\"precautionsPrecautions for Exceptional Cases (Pregnancy, etc.):<\/span><\/h3>\n

If you are pregnant or living with certain medical conditions, inform your healthcare provider before the test. A 24-hour gap from chemotherapy, radiation, PET\/CT scans, or blood transfusion is preferred but not mandatory.<\/p>\n
