TMLHE Gene Autism susceptibility X-linked type 6 Genetic Test
Test Name: TMLHE Gene Autism susceptibility X-linked type 6 Genetic Test
Components: Blood or Extracted DNA or One drop Blood on FTA Card
Price: 4400.0 AED
Sample Condition: Blood or Extracted DNA or One drop Blood on FTA Card
Report Delivery: 3 to 4 Weeks
Method: NGS Technology
Test Type: Neurological Disorders
Doctor: Neurologist
Test Department: Genetics
Pre Test Information: Clinical History of Patient who is going for TMLHE Gene Autism susceptibility, X-linked type 6 NGS Genetic DNA Test. A Genetic Counselling session to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with TMLHE Gene Autism susceptibility, X-linked type 6.
Test Details:
The TMLHE gene is located on the X chromosome and codes for an enzyme called trimethyllysine hydroxylase epsilon. This enzyme is involved in the breakdown of amino acids and plays a role in the metabolism of choline, which is important for brain function.
Mutations in the TMLHE gene have been associated with an increased susceptibility to autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in some individuals. Specifically, mutations in the TMLHE gene have been identified in a subset of individuals with ASD who also have elevated levels of trimethyllysine in their blood.
NGS genetic testing (next-generation sequencing) can be used to analyze the TMLHE gene and identify any mutations or variations that may be present. This type of testing can help to determine if an individual has an increased susceptibility to ASD due to TMLHE gene mutations.
It is important to note that not all individuals with TMLHE gene mutations will develop ASD, and other factors may also contribute to the development of the disorder. Additionally, genetic testing should always be interpreted in conjunction with other clinical and diagnostic information to make an accurate diagnosis.
