MT-TP Gene MERRF Syndrome Genetic Test
MT-TP Gene MERRF syndrome MT-TP related Genetic Test is a diagnostic test offered by DNA Labs UAE. This test analyzes the MT-TP gene for any genetic variations or mutations associated with MERRF syndrome (Myoclonic Epilepsy with Ragged Red Fibers), a rare mitochondrial disorder.
Test Details
MERRF syndrome is characterized by symptoms such as myoclonus (involuntary muscle jerking), epilepsy, ataxia (lack of muscle coordination), and ragged red fibers seen on muscle biopsy. The MT-TP related NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) Genetic Test helps in confirming the diagnosis of MERRF syndrome by identifying specific mutations in the MT-TP gene known to be associated with the disorder.
NGS technology allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes, including the MT-TP gene, in a cost-effective and efficient manner. This test is typically performed on a blood or saliva sample and can provide valuable information about the genetic cause of MERRF syndrome.
Test Components and Price
The cost of the MT-TP Gene MERRF syndrome MT-TP related Genetic Test is AED 4400.0. The test requires a sample condition of either blood, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA Card. The report delivery time is approximately 3 to 4 weeks. The test is conducted using NGS technology.
Test Department and Doctor
The MT-TP Gene MERRF syndrome MT-TP related Genetic Test is conducted in the Genetics department of DNA Labs UAE. The test is ordered by a dermatologist, who specializes in Osteology, Dermatology, and Immunology Disorders.
Pre Test Information
Prior to the test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient who is going for the MT-TP Gene MERRF syndrome MT-TP related NGS Genetic DNA Test. A genetic counseling session may also be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with MT-TP Gene MERRF syndrome, MT-TP related NGS Genetic DNA Test gene MT-TP.
Importance of the Test
The results of the MT-TP related NGS Genetic Test can help in genetic counseling, family planning, and guiding appropriate treatment options for individuals with MERRF syndrome. It is crucial to note that this test should be ordered by a healthcare professional with expertise in genetic testing and interpretation.
