GALNS Gene Mucopolysaccharidosis type 4A Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the GALNS Gene Mucopolysaccharidosis type 4A Genetic Test. This test is used to diagnose Mucopolysaccharidosis type 4A (MPS 4A), also known as Morquio A syndrome. MPS 4A is an inherited metabolic disorder that affects the production of an enzyme called N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfatase, which is produced by the GALNS gene.
Individuals with MPS 4A experience the accumulation of complex carbohydrates called glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in various tissues and organs of the body. This buildup can result in a range of symptoms, including skeletal abnormalities, joint stiffness, heart problems, respiratory issues, and vision and hearing impairment.
Our GALNS Gene Mucopolysaccharidosis type 4A Genetic Test utilizes NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology. NGS allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes, making it an effective tool for diagnosing MPS 4A. By identifying mutations in the GALNS gene, healthcare professionals can confirm a diagnosis of MPS 4A and provide valuable information about the severity of the condition.

Test Details |
The GALNS gene is responsible for producing an enzyme called N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfatase. Mutations in this gene can lead to a condition called Mucopolysaccharidosis type 4A (MPS 4A), also known as Morquio A syndrome. MPS 4A is an inherited metabolic disorder characterized by the accumulation of certain complex carbohydrates called glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in various tissues and organs of the body. This buildup of GAGs can lead to a wide range of symptoms, including skeletal abnormalities, joint stiffness, heart problems, respiratory issues, and vision and hearing impairment. NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) is a genetic testing technique that can be used to analyze multiple genes simultaneously. In the case of MPS 4A, NGS can be used to identify mutations in the GALNS gene that may be responsible for the condition. By performing a genetic test using NGS, healthcare professionals can confirm a diagnosis of MPS 4A, identify specific mutations in the GALNS gene, and provide information about the severity of the condition. This information can help guide treatment decisions and provide valuable information for genetic counseling and family planning. |
