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. |
