BCAT1 Gene Branched-chain aminotransferase 1 deficiency Genetic Test
Cost: AED 4400.0
Symptoms and Diagnosis
BCAT1 gene (branched-chain aminotransferase 1) deficiency is a rare genetic disorder that affects the metabolism of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) in the body. BCAAs are essential amino acids that play a crucial role in protein synthesis and energy production. A deficiency in the BCAT1 gene leads to the impaired breakdown of BCAAs, resulting in their accumulation in the blood and tissues. This accumulation can cause a range of symptoms, including intellectual disability, developmental delay, seizures, poor muscle tone, and other neurological abnormalities.

Pre Test Information
Clinical History of Patient who is going for BCAT1 Gene Branched-chain aminotransferase 1 deficiency NGS Genetic DNA Test A Genetic Counselling session to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with Branched-chain aminotransferase 1 deficiency.
Test Details
NGS (next-generation sequencing) genetic testing is a diagnostic tool used to identify mutations or variations in the BCAT1 gene. NGS allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes, providing a comprehensive assessment of the genetic makeup and identifying potential disease-causing variants. NGS genetic testing for BCAT1 gene deficiency involves obtaining a DNA sample, usually through a blood or saliva sample, and sequencing the entire coding region of the BCAT1 gene. The obtained DNA sequence is then compared to a reference sequence to identify any variations or mutations that may be responsible for the disorder. The results of the NGS genetic test can help confirm a diagnosis of BCAT1 gene deficiency and guide appropriate management and treatment strategies. Genetic counseling is typically recommended to help individuals and families understand the implications of the test results and make informed decisions regarding their health and reproductive options.
