CA5A Gene Hyperammonemia due to carbonic anhydrase VA deficiency Genetic Test
Genetic testing plays a crucial role in understanding and diagnosing various genetic disorders. One such disorder is CA5A Gene Hyperammonemia due to carbonic anhydrase VA deficiency. DNA Labs UAE offers a comprehensive genetic test for this condition.
Test Details
The CA5A gene is responsible for encoding the carbonic anhydrase VA enzyme, which plays a vital role in the urea cycle. The urea cycle is responsible for detoxifying ammonia in the body. Hyperammonemia refers to elevated levels of ammonia in the blood, which can be harmful to the brain and other organs. A deficiency in carbonic anhydrase VA due to mutations in the CA5A gene can lead to impaired ammonia detoxification and subsequently result in hyperammonemia.
This condition is typically inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, meaning that an individual must inherit two copies of the mutated CA5A gene (one from each parent) to develop the disorder.
NGS Technology
NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a state-of-the-art technology that allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes or the entire exome (the protein-coding region of the genome). It uses high-throughput sequencing technology to rapidly sequence and analyze a large amount of genetic information.
NGS genetic testing can identify mutations or variations in the CA5A gene that may be responsible for hyperammonemia. By analyzing the specific mutations or variations in the CA5A gene, this test can help diagnose individuals with hyperammonemia due to carbonic anhydrase VA deficiency.
Test Components and Price
The CA5A Gene Hyperammonemia due to carbonic anhydrase VA deficiency Genetic Test is available at DNA Labs UAE for a cost of 4400.0 AED. The test can be performed on blood samples, extracted DNA, or even one drop of blood on an FTA card.
Report Delivery and Test Type
The report for this genetic test will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks. The test falls under the category of Metabolic Disorders and is conducted in the Genetics department.
Pre Test Information
Before undergoing the CA5A Gene Hyperammonemia due to carbonic anhydrase VA deficiency Genetic Test, it is recommended to provide the clinical history of the patient. Additionally, a Genetic Counselling session is advised to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by Hyperammonemia due to carbonic anhydrase VA deficiency.
Doctor and Test Department
A General Physician can refer patients for this genetic test. The test will be conducted in the Genetics department at DNA Labs UAE.
Conclusion
The CA5A Gene Hyperammonemia due to carbonic anhydrase VA deficiency Genetic Test offered by DNA Labs UAE is a valuable tool in diagnosing individuals with hyperammonemia. By identifying specific mutations or variations in the CA5A gene, this test can help determine the underlying cause of the condition, predict disease progression, and inform treatment options.

The CA5A gene is responsible for encoding the carbonic anhydrase VA enzyme. Carbonic anhydrase VA plays a crucial role in the urea cycle, which is responsible for the detoxification of ammonia in the body. Hyperammonemia refers to elevated levels of ammonia in the blood, which can be toxic to the brain and other organs. A deficiency in carbonic anhydrase VA due to mutations in the CA5A gene can lead to impaired ammonia detoxification and subsequently result in hyperammonemia. This condition is typically inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, meaning that an individual must inherit two copies of the mutated CA5A gene (one from each parent) to develop the disorder.
