Test Details
The GLA gene Fabry disease NGS genetic test is a diagnostic test used to identify mutations in the GLA gene that are associated with Fabry disease. Fabry disease is a rare genetic disorder that affects the breakdown of a fatty substance called globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) in the body. Mutations in the GLA gene lead to a deficiency of the enzyme alpha-galactosidase A, which is responsible for breaking down Gb3.
The NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology used in this test allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes, including the GLA gene, to identify any disease-causing mutations. This method is more efficient and cost-effective compared to traditional sequencing methods.
By detecting mutations in the GLA gene, the test can confirm a diagnosis of Fabry disease in individuals with symptoms or a family history of the condition. It can also be used for carrier testing in individuals with a family history of Fabry disease or for prenatal testing in families at risk of having a child with the condition.
The GLA gene Fabry disease NGS genetic test is typically performed on a blood or saliva sample. The results of the test can help guide treatment decisions and provide information about the risk of passing the condition on to future generations. It is important to note that this test is typically ordered and interpreted by a healthcare professional with expertise in genetics.
