The total cost of genetic testing for genetic diseases is about 5,000 yuan.
Depending on the number of examination items and the level of the hospital, the charging standards are also different. A gene sequencing response costs 300 yuan, and a small health management package costs 5,400 yuan. Single-gene genetic diseases are one of the main causes of birth defects in newborns. Accounting for approximately 20% of infant and child deaths.
10% of children hospitalized. Currently, more than 7,000 single-gene genetic diseases have been discovered, and about 3,500 related disease-causing genes have been identified. Studies have shown that each person carries an average of 2.8 disease-causing mutations.
Extended information:
The genetic testing of genetic diseases is introduced as follows:
The genetic testing of single-gene genetic diseases mainly uses target region enrichment and high-throughput sequencing technology. , can quickly, accurately and comprehensively detect the coding regions and splicing sites of more than 2,500 genes related to more than 3,500 single-gene genetic diseases at one time, eliminating the need for individual tests and helping to avoid the birth of children with serious genetic diseases.
Gene testing for single-gene genetic diseases includes congenital malformations, endocrine and metabolic diseases, neurological diseases, blood and immune system diseases, eye diseases, circulatory system diseases, hereditary tumors, mental and behavioral disorders, and skin diseases. Diseases, hearing impairment diseases.
