AMT Gene Glycine Encephalopathy Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the AMT Gene Glycine Encephalopathy Genetic Test for the diagnosis of this rare genetic disorder. This test is crucial in identifying mutations or variations in the AMT gene that may be responsible for glycine encephalopathy, also known as nonketotic hyperglycinemia (NKH).

Pre Test Information
Prior to undergoing the AMT Gene Glycine Encephalopathy Genetic Test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient. Additionally, a genetic counseling session will be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by AMT Gene Glycine Encephalopathy NGS Genetic DNA Test gene AMT.
Test Details
The AMT gene is responsible for the production of the enzyme aminomethyltransferase. Glycine encephalopathy is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the accumulation of glycine in the brain and other tissues. NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a type of genetic test that allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes or even the entire genome.
NGS genetic testing can help identify mutations or variations in the AMT gene that may be causing glycine encephalopathy. This test aids in the diagnosis of the disorder and provides valuable information for treatment and management decisions. It is also useful for carrier testing and prenatal testing in families with a history of the disorder.
It is essential to note that genetic testing should always be done under the guidance of a healthcare professional or genetic counselor who can provide appropriate guidance and interpretation of the results.
