**MT-TK Gene MERRF Syndrome MT-TK Related Genetic Test at DNA Labs UAE**

MERRF syndrome (Myoclonic Epilepsy with Ragged Red Fibers) is a rare, genetic neurodegenerative disorder primarily affecting the nervous system and muscles. It is closely associated with mutations in the mitochondrial gene known as MT-TK. These mutations disrupt the normal production of cellular energy, leading to the symptoms characteristic of the syndrome, such as myoclonic epilepsy, muscle weakness, and exercise intolerance.

At DNA Labs UAE, individuals concerned about the risk of MERRF syndrome can undergo the MT-TK Related Genetic Test. This specialized test is designed to detect mutations in the MT-TK gene, providing crucial information for diagnosis, management, and familial planning purposes.

The cost of the MT-TK Gene MERRF Syndrome test is 4400 AED. The process involves a simple sample collection, followed by detailed analysis using advanced genetic sequencing technologies. This test not only aids in confirming the diagnosis of MERRF syndrome but also helps in identifying carriers within families, thereby guiding genetic counseling and decision-making processes.

DNA Labs UAE is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and a team of genetic experts committed to providing accurate and confidential results. With this test, individuals and families affected by or at risk of MERRF syndrome can take an important step towards understanding their genetic health and making informed decisions about their care and future.

Test Details: MT-TK gene (also known as tRNA lysine) is a gene located in the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) that encodes for a transfer RNA molecule involved in protein synthesis within the mitochondria. Mutations in the MT-TK gene can lead to a variety of mitochondrial disorders, including MERRF syndrome.

MERRF syndrome (Myoclonic Epilepsy with Ragged Red Fibers) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by a combination of myoclonic seizures (brief, shock-like muscle jerks), muscle weakness, ataxia (uncoordinated movements), and ragged-red fibers seen under a microscope in muscle biopsies. MERRF syndrome is typically caused by a specific mutation in the MT-TK gene, known as the m.8344A>G mutation.

To diagnose MERRF syndrome or other mitochondrial disorders caused by MT-TK gene mutations, a genetic test called MT-TK related NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) can be performed. This test involves sequencing the entire MT-TK gene and analyzing it for any pathogenic mutations or variants. NGS technology allows for the detection of both known and novel mutations in the gene.

The MT-TK related NGS genetic test can be helpful in confirming a diagnosis of MERRF syndrome or other MT-TK gene-related mitochondrial disorders. It can also provide information about the specific mutation present, which can be useful for genetic counseling and family planning purposes. Additionally, this test can help differentiate MERRF syndrome from other similar disorders with overlapping symptoms.

It’s important to note that genetic testing should be done under the guidance of a healthcare professional, such as a geneticist or genetic counselor, who can interpret the results and provide appropriate counseling and management recommendations.
