Glycerol kinase deficiency (GKD) is a rare genetic disorder that affects the body’s ability to metabolize glycerol, a type of sugar alcohol that is a component of fats. This condition can lead to various symptoms, including hypoglycemia, developmental delays, and in some cases, more severe complications. The condition is caused by mutations in the GK gene, which is responsible for the production of glycerol kinase, an enzyme crucial for the proper metabolism of glycerol.

To diagnose this condition, a genetic test can be conducted to identify mutations in the GK gene. In the UAE, DNA Labs offers a comprehensive genetic test for glycerol kinase deficiency. The test involves analyzing the patient’s DNA to look for mutations in the GK gene that are known to cause the disorder. This test is crucial for confirming the diagnosis, understanding the severity of the condition, and guiding treatment and management strategies.

The cost of the glycerol kinase deficiency genetic test at DNA Labs UAE is 4400 AED. The testing process is designed to be straightforward and efficient, requiring only a simple sample collection, after which the sample is analyzed in the lab. Results are typically provided within a few weeks, offering patients and their families the information needed to proceed with appropriate medical care and support.

Pre Test Information

Prior to the test, it is recommended to provide the clinical history of the patient who is going for the GK Gene Glycerol kinase deficiency NGS Genetic DNA Test. Additionally, a Genetic Counselling session is conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with Glycerol kinase deficiency.

Test Details

Glycerol kinase deficiency (GKD) is a rare X-linked genetic disorder that affects the metabolism of glycerol. It is caused by mutations in the GK gene, which encodes the enzyme glycerol kinase. Individuals with GKD have an inability to properly convert glycerol into glycerol-3-phosphate, leading to elevated levels of glycerol in the blood and urine.

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is a powerful genetic testing method that can identify mutations in the GK gene associated with GKD. NGS allows for the simultaneous sequencing of multiple genes, exomes, or even genomes. This technology can detect various genetic variations, including point mutations, insertions, deletions, and rearrangements.

For NGS-based genetic testing, DNA is extracted from a blood or saliva sample. The extracted DNA undergoes library preparation and sequencing. The resulting sequence data is then analyzed using specialized bioinformatics tools to identify mutations in the GK gene. This information can help confirm a diagnosis of GKD and guide appropriate management and treatment strategies.

Benefits of Genetic Testing for GKD

Genetic testing for GKD provides valuable information for affected individuals and their families. It enables:

  • Early diagnosis
  • Genetic counseling
  • Family planning
  • Identification of potential disease-causing mutations in other genes, relevant for personalized treatment approaches or participation in clinical trials

At DNA Labs UAE, we are committed to providing accurate and reliable genetic testing services. Our GK Gene Glycerol kinase deficiency Genetic Test can help individuals and their healthcare providers make informed decisions regarding diagnosis, management, and treatment of GKD.

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is a powerful genetic testing method that can be used to identify mutations in the GK gene associated with GKD. NGS allows for the simultaneous sequencing of multiple genes or even the entire exome or genome. This technology can detect both small and large genetic variations, including point mutations, insertions, deletions, and rearrangements.

NGS-based genetic testing for GKD involves extracting DNA from a blood or saliva sample, followed by library preparation and sequencing. The resulting sequence data is then analyzed using specialized bioinformatics tools to identify mutations in the GK gene. This information can help confirm a diagnosis of GKD and guide appropriate management and treatment strategies.

Genetic testing for GKD can provide valuable information for affected individuals and their families. It can help with early diagnosis, genetic counseling, and family planning.
