Pre Test Information:
Clinical History of Patient who is going for SUMF1 Gene Sulfatase Deficiency NGS Genetic DNA Test. A Genetic Counselling session to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with Sulfatase Deficiency.
Test Details:
The SUMF1 gene encodes an enzyme called sulfatase-modifying factor 1, which is responsible for modifying and activating various sulfatase enzymes. Sulfatase enzymes play a crucial role in breaking down complex molecules called sulfated glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), which are essential for normal development and function of tissues and organs.
Deficiency in the SUMF1 gene can lead to multiple sulfatase deficiency (MSD), a rare genetic disorder characterized by impaired activity of multiple sulfatase enzymes. This deficiency results in the accumulation of sulfated GAGs in various tissues and organs, leading to a wide range of symptoms and progressive deterioration of affected individuals.
NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a powerful tool used to identify genetic variations, including mutations, in the SUMF1 gene. This test involves sequencing the entire coding region of the gene to identify any potential pathogenic variants that may be causing the deficiency.
NGS genetic testing for SUMF1 gene sulfatase deficiency can help diagnose individuals with MSD and provide valuable information for genetic counseling, disease management, and potential treatment options. It can also be used for carrier testing in families with a history of MSD to assess the risk of passing on the condition to future generations.
