The GLB1 Gene Mucopolysaccharidosis Type 4B Genetic Test is a specialized diagnostic assessment available at DNA Labs UAE, designed to identify mutations in the GLB1 gene. This gene is crucial because its mutations are responsible for Mucopolysaccharidosis Type 4B (MPS 4B), also known as Morquio Syndrome type B. MPS 4B is a rare lysosomal storage disorder characterized by skeletal abnormalities, short stature, and other systemic complications. The condition is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, meaning that an individual must inherit two copies of the mutated gene, one from each parent, to be affected.

The test is particularly vital for families with a history of the condition or for individuals showing symptoms suggestive of MPS 4B. Early and accurate diagnosis through the GLB1 Gene Mucopolysaccharidosis Type 4B Genetic Test can lead to timely intervention and management of the condition, potentially improving the quality of life for those affected.

The cost of the test at DNA Labs UAE is 4400 AED. Given the complexity and the specific expertise required to conduct and interpret the test, the price reflects the comprehensive nature of this genetic analysis. By choosing DNA Labs UAE for this test, patients can expect reliable results, professional confidentiality, and the potential to make informed decisions regarding their health or that of their family members.

GLB1 Gene Mucopolysaccharidosis type 4B Genetic Test

At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the GLB1 Gene Mucopolysaccharidosis type 4B Genetic Test for individuals suspected of having this rare genetic disorder. This test can help confirm a diagnosis of Mucopolysaccharidosis type 4B (MPS 4B), also known as Morquio B syndrome.

Test Details

The GLB1 gene is associated with MPS 4B, a condition characterized by the deficiency of the enzyme beta-galactosidase. This deficiency leads to the accumulation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in various tissues of the body.

Our Genetic Test for MPS 4B utilizes Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, which allows for the analysis of multiple genes simultaneously. Using NGS, we can analyze the GLB1 gene for mutations or variations that may be associated with MPS 4B.

Test Components and Price

The GLB1 Gene Mucopolysaccharidosis type 4B Genetic Test is priced at 4400.0 AED.

Sample Condition

We accept blood samples, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card for this test.

Report Delivery

The test results will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks.

Method

We use NGS technology for this test.

Test Type

This is a genetic test for metabolic disorders.

Doctor

A General Physician can refer a patient for this test.

Test Department

This test is conducted in our Genetics department.

Pre Test Information

Prior to the test, it is recommended to provide the clinical history of the patient and undergo a genetic counseling session to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with MPS 4B.

Why is the GLB1 Gene Mucopolysaccharidosis type 4B Genetic Test important?

This genetic test can help identify individuals who may be at risk for MPS 4B, provide information about inheritance patterns, and assist in the development of treatment plans and management strategies for those diagnosed with MPS 4B.

Test Details

The GLB1 gene is associated with a condition called Mucopolysaccharidosis type 4B (MPS 4B), also known as Morquio B syndrome. MPS 4B is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the deficiency of an enzyme called beta-galactosidase, which leads to the accumulation of certain molecules called glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in various tissues of the body.

NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) is a high-throughput DNA sequencing technology that allows for the analysis of multiple genes simultaneously. In the context of genetic testing for MPS 4B, NGS can be used to analyze the GLB1 gene for mutations or variations that may be associated with the condition.

A genetic test for MPS 4B using NGS technology would involve obtaining a DNA sample, typically through a blood or saliva sample, from the individual being tested. The DNA would then be sequenced using NGS technology to analyze the GLB1 gene for any mutations or variations. The results of the test can help confirm a diagnosis of MPS 4B and provide information about the specific genetic changes present in the GLB1 gene.

Genetic testing for MPS 4B can be helpful in identifying individuals who may be at risk for the condition, as well as providing information about the inheritance pattern and potential recurrence risks for future pregnancies. It can also aid in the development of treatment plans and management strategies for individuals with MPS 4B.
