GBA Gene Gaucher Disease Type 2 Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the GBA Gene Gaucher Disease Type 2 Genetic Test. This test is designed to identify mutations or variations in the GBA gene that are associated with Gaucher disease type 2. Gaucher disease is a rare genetic disorder that affects the body’s ability to break down glucocerebroside, a type of fat. Gaucher disease type 2 is the most severe form of the disease and is characterized by neurological symptoms such as seizures, brain damage, and developmental delays.

Pre Test Information
Prior to undergoing the GBA Gene Gaucher Disease Type 2 Genetic Test, it is recommended 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 with Gaucher disease type 2.
Test Details
The GBA Gene Gaucher Disease Type 2 NGS Genetic Test utilizes Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to analyze the GBA gene for mutations or variations associated with Gaucher disease type 2. The GBA gene encodes an enzyme called glucocerebrosidase, responsible for breaking down glucocerebroside. Mutations in the GBA gene can lead to a deficiency or malfunction of this enzyme, resulting in the accumulation of glucocerebroside in various organs and tissues.
NGS technology is a high-throughput sequencing method that allows for the rapid and efficient analysis of multiple genes, including the GBA gene. This test can accurately identify specific mutations or variations in the GBA gene, aiding in the diagnosis of Gaucher disease type 2 in individuals with symptoms consistent with the condition. It can also be used for carrier testing in individuals with a family history of Gaucher disease type 2.
Furthermore, the results of this test can provide valuable information for genetic counseling and family planning decisions. Individuals at risk of passing on Gaucher disease type 2 to their children can benefit from the guidance and support of qualified healthcare professionals who specialize in genetics and genetic counseling.
It is important to note that genetic testing should always be performed and interpreted by qualified healthcare professionals. They have the expertise to provide appropriate guidance and support based on an individual’s specific situation and test results.
