GLRX5 Gene Anemia Sideroblastic Pyridoxine-Refractory Autosomal Recessive Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the GLRX5 Gene Anemia Sideroblastic Pyridoxine-Refractory Autosomal Recessive Genetic Test at a cost of AED 4400.0. This test is designed to diagnose individuals with GLRX5 gene-related anemia, specifically sideroblastic anemia that is pyridoxine-refractory.
Test Details
The GLRX5 gene is associated with sideroblastic anemia, pyridoxine-refractory. This condition is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, meaning that an individual must inherit two copies of the mutated GLRX5 gene (one from each parent) in order to develop the condition. Sideroblastic anemia is characterized by abnormal production of red blood cells in the bone marrow. The body has difficulty incorporating iron into hemoglobin, resulting in a buildup of iron in the mitochondria of red blood cell precursors, leading to ineffective erythropoiesis.
Pyridoxine-refractory sideroblastic anemia is a subtype of sideroblastic anemia that does not respond to treatment with pyridoxine (vitamin B6), which is typically effective in other forms of the condition.

Pre Test Information
Prior to undergoing the GLRX5 Gene Anemia Sideroblastic Pyridoxine-Refractory Autosomal Recessive Genetic Test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient. Additionally, a genetic counseling session may be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by GLRX5 Gene Anemia, sideroblastic, pyridoxine-refractory, autosomal recessive NGS Genetic DNA Test gene GLRX5.
Test Methodology
The GLRX5 Gene Anemia Sideroblastic Pyridoxine-Refractory Autosomal Recessive Genetic Test utilizes NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology. This technique allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes and the identification of mutations or variations in the DNA sequence.
Benefits of Genetic Testing
Genetic testing can help confirm a diagnosis, provide information about the specific genetic cause of the condition, and guide treatment and management decisions. It is also useful for genetic counseling and family planning purposes, as it can help determine the risk of passing on the condition to future generations.

| Test Details |
The GLRX5 gene is associated with a type of anemia called sideroblastic anemia, pyridoxine-refractory. This condition is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, meaning that an individual must inherit two copies of the mutated GLRX5 gene (one from each parent) in order to develop the condition. Sideroblastic anemia is characterized by abnormal production of red blood cells in the bone marrow. In this condition, the body has difficulty incorporating iron into hemoglobin, the protein responsible for carrying oxygen in red blood cells. This leads to a buildup of iron in the mitochondria of red blood cell precursors, resulting in ineffective erythropoiesis. Pyridoxine-refractory sideroblastic anemia refers to a specific subtype of sideroblastic anemia that does not respond to treatment with pyridoxine (vitamin B6), which is typically effective in other forms of the condition. NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a technique used to analyze multiple genes simultaneously and identify mutations or variations in the DNA sequence. In the case of GLRX5 gene anemia, an NGS genetic test can be performed to identify any mutations or variations in the GLRX5 gene that may be causing the pyridoxine-refractory sideroblastic anemia. Genetic testing can help confirm a diagnosis, provide information about the specific genetic cause of the condition, and guide treatment and management decisions. It can also be useful for genetic counseling and family planning purposes, as it can help determine the risk of passing on the condition to future generations. |
