Glycogen Storage Disorder Gene Panel Test
Cost: AED 7200.0
Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Test Details
The Glycogen Storage Disorder Gene Panel Test offered by DNA Labs UAE is a comprehensive genetic test designed to identify mutations or changes in genes associated with glycogen storage disorders (GSDs). GSDs are inherited metabolic disorders characterized by abnormal storage and breakdown of glycogen, a complex sugar used as an energy source in the body.
The gene panel test analyzes a specific set of genes known to be associated with various types of GSDs, including GSD I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, and IX. By identifying the specific type of GSD in an individual, the test provides valuable information about the risk of passing the condition on to future generations.
Components and Sample Condition
- Sterile container
- Sterile Normal Saline Container
- EDTA Vacutainer
The Glycogen Storage Disorder Gene Panel Test requires a sample of amniotic fluid, chorionic villi, or peripheral blood, depending on the individual’s condition. These samples must be collected and stored in the appropriate containers to ensure accurate testing results.
Report Delivery and Method
After the sample is collected, the report for the Glycogen Storage Disorder Gene Panel Test is typically delivered within 4-6 weeks. The test utilizes Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, a high-throughput method that allows for the analysis of multiple genes simultaneously.
Test Type and Doctor
The Glycogen Storage Disorder Gene Panel Test falls under the category of Genetics tests. It is recommended to consult with a General Physician to obtain a prescription for this test.
Pre Test Information
Please note that the Glycogen Storage Disorder Gene Panel Test requires a doctor’s prescription. However, it is not applicable for surgery, pregnancy cases, or individuals planning to travel abroad.
Genetic Counseling and Implications
Before and after undergoing the Glycogen Storage Disorder Gene Panel Test, it is highly recommended to seek genetic counseling. This counseling aims to provide individuals with a better understanding of the implications of the test results and their potential impact on their health and future generations.

Test Details |
A glycogen storage disorder gene panel is a type of genetic test that looks for mutations or changes in genes associated with glycogen storage disorders (GSDs). GSDs are a group of inherited metabolic disorders characterized by the abnormal storage and breakdown of glycogen, a complex sugar that is used as a source of energy in the body. The gene panel test analyzes a set of genes that are known to be associated with different types of GSDs, including GSD I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, and IX. The test can help diagnose the specific type of GSD in an individual and provide information about the risk of passing the condition on to future generations. The glycogen storage disorder gene panel test is typically recommended for individuals who have symptoms of GSD or a family history of the condition. The test is usually performed using a blood or saliva sample, and the results can take several weeks to come back. Genetic counseling is often recommended before and after the test to help individuals understand the implications of the results. |
