GNPTAB Gene Mucolipidosis Type 2 Alpha/Beta Genetic Test
Test Name: GNPTAB Gene Mucolipidosis Type 2 Alpha/Beta Genetic Test
Components: DNA Labs UAE offers this genetic test at a price of 4400.0 AED.
Sample Condition: The test requires either blood, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card.
Report Delivery: The test results are typically delivered within 3 to 4 weeks.
Method: The test utilizes NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology.
Test Type: This genetic test focuses on metabolic disorders.
Doctor: The test can be requested by a general physician.
Test Department: The test falls under the genetics department.
Pre Test Information: Prior to the test, a clinical history of the patient is required. A genetic counseling session may also be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by Mucolipidosis Type 2 Alpha/Beta.
Test Details:
The GNPTAB gene is responsible for producing a protein called alpha/beta subunit of N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphate transferase, which plays a role in the processing and transport of enzymes within cells. Mutations in the GNPTAB gene can result in a rare inherited disorder known as mucolipidosis type 2 alpha/beta. This condition affects the lysosomes, which are cellular compartments responsible for breaking down waste materials.
Mucolipidosis type 2 alpha/beta is characterized by developmental delay, intellectual disability, skeletal abnormalities, and organ dysfunction. Symptoms typically manifest in infancy or early childhood and can vary in severity.
NGS genetic testing is a method that allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes, providing a comprehensive evaluation of an individual’s genetic makeup. In the case of mucolipidosis type 2 alpha/beta, NGS genetic testing can identify mutations in the GNPTAB gene associated with the condition. This type of genetic testing aids in the diagnosis of individuals with mucolipidosis type 2 alpha/beta, confirmation of specific mutations, and determination of the likelihood of passing the condition on to future generations. It can also be used for carrier screening in individuals with a family history of the condition.
It is crucial to consult with a healthcare professional or genetic counselor to fully understand the benefits, limitations, and implications of genetic testing before undergoing any testing procedure.
