The MT-TS1 gene, associated with MERRF/MELAS overlap syndrome, is crucial for understanding the genetic basis of these complex mitochondrial disorders. MERRF (Myoclonic Epilepsy with Ragged Red Fibers) and MELAS (Mitochondrial Encephalomyopathy, Lactic Acidosis, and Stroke-like episodes) are part of a group of mitochondrial diseases that affect the nervous system and muscles, often leading to severe physical and cognitive impairments. The overlap syndrome signifies patients presenting symptoms of both conditions, making diagnosis and treatment more challenging.

The MT-TS1 gene encodes for a mitochondrial tRNA specific for serine, playing a vital role in protein synthesis within the mitochondria. Mutations in this gene disrupt mitochondrial function, leading to the systemic symptoms observed in MERRF/MELAS overlap syndrome. Given the genetic underpinnings of these conditions, genetic testing becomes a pivotal tool in the diagnostic process.

At DNA Labs UAE, a specialized genetic test targeting the MT-TS1 gene related to MERRF/MELAS overlap syndrome is available. This test is essential for confirming the diagnosis, understanding the disease’s progression, and making informed decisions about management and treatment options. The test involves analyzing the patient’s DNA to identify mutations in the MT-TS1 gene that are indicative of the syndrome.

The cost of the MT-TS1 related genetic test at DNA Labs UAE is 4400 AED. This investment in genetic testing can provide crucial information for affected individuals and their families, allowing for a better understanding of the condition and facilitating personalized treatment plans. It’s important for patients and healthcare providers to consider this testing as part of a comprehensive approach to managing and treating mitochondrial diseases like the MERRF/MELAS overlap syndrome.

Test Details: MT-TS1 gene is associated with two different mitochondrial disorders – MERRF (Myoclonic Epilepsy with Ragged Red Fibers) and MELAS (Mitochondrial Encephalopathy, Lactic Acidosis, and Stroke-like episodes). However, there is also a rare overlap syndrome where individuals exhibit features of both MERRF and MELAS. To diagnose this overlap syndrome, a genetic test called Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) can be performed. NGS is a high-throughput sequencing technology that can analyze multiple genes simultaneously. In the case of MT-TS1 related overlap syndrome, the NGS test will specifically focus on sequencing the MT-TS1 gene to identify any genetic variations or mutations that may be causing the disorder. The NGS test involves obtaining a DNA sample, usually through a blood or saliva sample, and then sequencing the DNA to identify any abnormalities in the MT-TS1 gene. This test can help confirm a diagnosis of the MT-TS1 related overlap syndrome and provide information about the specific genetic variations present in an individual. It is important to note that genetic testing should be performed and interpreted by a qualified healthcare professional or genetic counselor who specializes in mitochondrial disorders. They can provide a detailed analysis of the test results and help guide treatment and management options for individuals with this rare overlap syndrome.
