EMX2 Gene Schizencephaly Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the EMX2 Gene Schizencephaly Genetic Test at a cost of AED 4400.0.
Test Details
The EMX2 gene is responsible for the development of the cerebral cortex during embryonic development. Mutations in this gene have been linked to a brain malformation called schizencephaly. Schizencephaly is a rare brain disorder characterized by abnormal clefts or cleft-like structures in the cerebral hemispheres. These clefts are lined with grey matter and can extend from the ependymal lining of the brain’s ventricles to the pial surface.
Individuals with schizencephaly may experience a wide range of symptoms, including developmental delays, intellectual disability, seizures, and motor impairments.
Our EMX2 Gene Schizencephaly Genetic Test utilizes NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology, which allows us to analyze multiple genes simultaneously and identify mutations or variations that may be associated with schizencephaly. By sequencing the EMX2 gene, we can detect any potential mutations or variations that may be contributing to the development of the disorder.

Pre Test Information
Prior to undergoing the EMX2 Gene Schizencephaly 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 the EMX2 gene. This information is crucial for accurate interpretation of the test results and can provide valuable insights for genetic counseling, family planning, and potential treatment options.
It is essential to conduct genetic testing under the guidance of a healthcare professional or genetic counselor who can interpret the results and provide appropriate recommendations.

NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a technique used to analyze multiple genes simultaneously and identify mutations or variations that may be associated with a particular condition. In the case of schizencephaly, NGS testing can be used to sequence the EMX2 gene and detect any potential mutations or variations that may be contributing to the development of the disorder. By identifying specific mutations in the EMX2 gene, NGS testing can help in diagnosing schizencephaly and providing valuable information for genetic counseling, family planning, and potential treatment options. It is important to note that genetic testing should be conducted under the guidance of a healthcare professional or genetic counselor who can interpret the results and provide appropriate recommendations. |
