CPT2 Gene Carnitine palmitoyltransferase 2 deficiency lethal neonatal Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the CPT2 Gene Carnitine palmitoyltransferase 2 deficiency lethal neonatal Genetic Test at a cost of 4400.0 AED. This test is used to diagnose CPT2 deficiency, a rare genetic disorder that affects the body’s ability to break down fats for energy.
Test Details
Carnitine palmitoyltransferase 2 (CPT2) deficiency is caused by mutations in the CPT2 gene, which provides instructions for making an enzyme called carnitine palmitoyltransferase 2. The most severe form of this disorder is lethal neonatal CPT2 deficiency, which is typically diagnosed shortly after birth.
Common symptoms of CPT2 deficiency include low muscle tone, weak cry, poor feeding, respiratory distress, and liver dysfunction. Without prompt treatment, it can be fatal in the neonatal period.
Test Components
- Sample Condition: Blood or Extracted DNA or One drop Blood on FTA Card
- Report Delivery: 3 to 4 Weeks
- Method: NGS Technology
- Test type: Metabolic Disorders
- Doctor: General Physician
- Test Department: Genetics
Pre Test Information
Before undergoing the CPT2 Gene Carnitine palmitoyltransferase 2 deficiency lethal neonatal Genetic Test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient. Additionally, a genetic counseling session may be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by Carnitine palmitoyltransferase 2 deficiency.
NGS Technology
NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a type of genetic test that uses advanced sequencing technologies to analyze multiple genes simultaneously. In the context of CPT2 deficiency, NGS can be used to identify mutations in the CPT2 gene that may be responsible for the disorder. This can help confirm the diagnosis and provide information for genetic counseling and family planning.
It’s important to note that the availability and specifics of genetic testing may vary depending on the country and healthcare system. Therefore, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional or genetic counselor for more accurate and up-to-date information regarding the specific genetic testing options for CPT2 deficiency.

It is caused by mutations in the CPT2 gene, which provides instructions for making an enzyme called carnitine palmitoyltransferase 2. Lethal neonatal CPT2 deficiency is the most severe form of this disorder and is typically diagnosed shortly after birth. It is characterized by a lack of energy production, leading to symptoms such as low muscle tone, weak cry, poor feeding, respiratory distress, and liver dysfunction. Without prompt treatment, it can be fatal in the neonatal period. NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a type of genetic test that uses advanced sequencing technologies to analyze multiple genes simultaneously.
