Components: NGS Technology
Price: 4400.0 AED
Sample Condition: Blood or Extracted DNA or One drop Blood on FTA Card
Report Delivery: 3 to 4 Weeks
Test Type: Neurological Disorders

Pre Test Information: Clinical History of Patient who is going for COL6A1 Gene Bethlem myopathy NGS Genetic DNA Test. A Genetic Counselling session to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with COL6A1 Gene Bethlem myopathy.
Test Details:
Bethlem myopathy is a rare genetic disorder that affects muscle function. It is caused by mutations in the COL6A1 gene, which provides instructions for making a protein called collagen VI. This protein is an important component of the extracellular matrix, which is a network of proteins and other molecules that support and protect cells in the body.
NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a type of genetic testing that uses advanced sequencing technologies to rapidly and accurately analyze large amounts of DNA. This type of testing can be used to identify mutations in the COL6A1 gene that may be causing Bethlem myopathy. NGS genetic testing can be performed on a sample of blood or other tissue from the individual being tested. The sample is analyzed in a laboratory, and the results are interpreted by a genetic counselor or other healthcare professional.
If a mutation in the COL6A1 gene is identified, it can help confirm a diagnosis of Bethlem myopathy. This information can also be used to inform treatment and management strategies, and to provide information about the risk of passing the condition on to future generations.
