GNPTAB Gene Mucolipidosis type 3 Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the GNPTAB Gene Mucolipidosis type 3 Genetic Test. This test is designed to detect mutations or variations in the GNPTAB gene, which is associated with a rare genetic disorder called mucolipidosis type 3 (MLIII).
Test Details
MLIII is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder characterized by the accumulation of mucopolysaccharides and sphingolipids in various tissues and organs of the body. Our NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology allows for the sequencing of multiple genes simultaneously, including the GNPTAB gene.

Pre Test Information
Prior to the test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient who is going for the GNPTAB Gene Mucolipidosis type 3 NGS Genetic DNA Test. Additionally, a Genetic Counselling session will be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with Mucolipidosis type 3.
Test Process
The NGS genetic test for MLIII involves collecting a sample of DNA, usually through a blood sample or cheek swab. The collected sample will then undergo advanced sequencing technologies to sequence the GNPTAB gene. The results of the test will confirm a diagnosis of MLIII and provide information about the specific genetic variants present in the GNPTAB gene.
Who Should Take the Test?
This type of genetic testing can be useful for individuals who have symptoms suggestive of MLIII or have a family history of the condition. It can also be used for carrier testing in individuals with a family history of MLIII to determine if they carry a mutation in the GNPTAB gene.
It’s important to note that genetic testing for MLIII should be done under the guidance of a healthcare professional or genetic counselor who can help interpret the results and provide appropriate counseling and support.

Test Details |
The GNPTAB gene is associated with a rare genetic disorder called mucolipidosis type 3 (MLIII). MLIII is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder characterized by the accumulation of certain substances (mucopolysaccharides and sphingolipids) in various tissues and organs of the body. NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a type of genetic test that allows for the sequencing of multiple genes simultaneously. It is used to identify mutations or variations in the GNPTAB gene that may be responsible for causing MLIII. The NGS genetic test for MLIII involves collecting a sample of DNA, usually through a blood sample or cheek swab, and then sequencing the GNPTAB gene using advanced sequencing technologies. The results of the test can help confirm a diagnosis of MLIII and provide information about the specific genetic variants present in the GNPTAB gene. This type of genetic testing can be useful for individuals who have symptoms suggestive of MLIII or have a family history of the condition. It can also be used for carrier testing in individuals with a family history of MLIII to determine if they carry a mutation in the GNPTAB gene. It’s important to note that genetic testing for MLIII should be done under the guidance of a healthcare professional or genetic counselor who can help interpret the results and provide appropriate counseling and support. |
