Alper’s Syndrome, also known as Progressive Neuronal Degeneration of Childhood, is a rare, autosomal recessive disorder that affects the brain, liver, and muscles, leading to severe neurological and hepatic dysfunction. It is primarily caused by mutations in the POLG gene, which is crucial for the replication and repair of mitochondrial DNA. Given the genetic basis of Alper’s Syndrome, identifying mutations in the POLG gene can be instrumental in diagnosing the condition.

At DNA Labs UAE, individuals can undergo a genetic test specifically designed to detect mutations in the POLG gene associated with Alper’s Syndrome. This test involves collecting a DNA sample, usually through a blood draw or cheek swab, which is then analyzed in the lab using advanced genetic sequencing techniques. The objective is to identify any pathogenic mutations in the POLG gene that may indicate a risk or presence of Alper’s Syndrome.

The cost of the POLG Gene Alper’s Syndrome Genetic Test at DNA Labs UAE is 4400 AED. This price includes the collection of the sample, the genetic analysis, and a comprehensive report that interprets the results. It’s important for individuals considering this test to consult with a genetic counselor or a healthcare provider both before and after testing to fully understand the implications of the results and to receive guidance on possible next steps, including management and treatment options if a mutation is detected.

POLG Gene Alper’s Syndrome Genetic Test

Test Details

The POLG gene, also known as the polymerase gamma gene, is responsible for providing instructions to make an enzyme called DNA polymerase gamma. This enzyme is involved in the replication and repair of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA).

Alper’s syndrome, also known as Alpers-Huttenlocher syndrome, is a rare genetic disorder that affects the central nervous system. It is characterized by symptoms such as seizures, liver dysfunction, and developmental regression.

NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a type of genetic testing that uses advanced sequencing technology to analyze multiple genes simultaneously. In the context of POLG gene testing, NGS can be used to identify any mutations or variations in the POLG gene that may be associated with Alper’s syndrome.

By performing a POLG gene NGS genetic test, healthcare professionals can identify specific mutations or variations in the POLG gene that may be contributing to the development of Alper’s syndrome. This information can be crucial for accurate diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment planning for individuals with suspected or confirmed Alper’s syndrome.
