The Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Carrier Detection Test is a crucial genetic screening tool offered by DNA Labs UAE, designed to identify individuals who carry a mutation in the SMN1 gene, which is linked to Spinal Muscular Atrophy. SMA is a genetic disorder characterized by the loss of motor neurons in the spinal cord, leading to muscle weakness and atrophy. Carriers of the mutation do not typically show symptoms of SMA but have a chance of passing the gene to their offspring, making this test particularly important for those planning to start a family.

Priced at 2800 AED, the test involves a simple and non-invasive procedure, usually a blood sample or a cheek swab, to collect DNA for analysis. The process aims to provide prospective parents with valuable information regarding their carrier status, enabling them to make informed decisions about family planning and access to early interventions or therapies for affected children. Conducted in the state-of-the-art facilities of DNA Labs UAE, this test stands as a proactive step towards managing the potential transmission of Spinal Muscular Atrophy, emphasizing the lab’s commitment to leveraging genetic insights for better health outcomes.

SPINAL MUSCULAR ATROPHY (SMA) CARRIER DETECTION Test

Test Cost: AED 2800.0

Introduction

The Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) carrier detection test is a genetic test offered by DNA Labs UAE. This test determines if an individual carries a gene mutation associated with SMA. SMA is a genetic disorder that affects the muscles and is characterized by progressive muscle weakness and atrophy.

Test Details

The Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) carrier detection test analyzes a blood or saliva sample to look for mutations in the SMN1 gene. This gene is responsible for producing a protein necessary for the survival of motor neurons. Individuals who carry a mutation in the SMN1 gene are considered carriers of SMA.

SMA carrier testing is often recommended for individuals with a family history of SMA or those planning to have children. The test provides valuable information about the risk of passing on the condition to offspring. If both parents are carriers, there is a 25% chance of having a child with SMA.

It is important to note that the carrier test does not diagnose SMA in an individual. It only determines if they carry a gene mutation associated with the condition. If a person tests positive as a carrier, genetic counseling is often recommended to discuss the implications and options for family planning.
