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

Pre Test Information: Clinical History of Patient who is going for SPTLC1 Gene HSAN1 NGS Genetic DNA Test. A Genetic Counselling session to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with SPTLC1 Gene HSAN1.
Test Details:
The SPTLC1 gene is associated with hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy type 1 (HSAN1), a rare genetic disorder characterized by progressive degeneration of sensory and autonomic nerves. Mutations in the SPTLC1 gene can lead to the production of a faulty enzyme called serine palmitoyltransferase, which is involved in the synthesis of sphingolipids.
NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a method used to analyze multiple genes simultaneously to identify potential mutations or variations associated with a particular condition or disease. In the case of HSAN1, NGS genetic testing can detect mutations in the SPTLC1 gene. This involves sequencing the DNA of an individual and comparing it to a reference genome to identify any genetic variations.
Genetic testing for HSAN1 can be useful for individuals with symptoms of the disorder or a family history of HSAN1. It confirms the diagnosis, provides information about the inheritance pattern, and assists in genetic counseling and family planning.
It is important to consult with a healthcare professional or genetic counselor to discuss the benefits, limitations, and potential risks of genetic testing before undergoing any testing procedure.

NGS testing involves sequencing the DNA of an individual and comparing it to a reference genome to identify any genetic variations. This can help in diagnosing HSAN1 and determining the specific mutation in the SPTLC1 gene that may be causing the condition. Genetic testing for HSAN1 can be useful for individuals who have symptoms of the disorder or have a family history of HSAN1. It can help in confirming the diagnosis, providing information about the inheritance pattern, and assisting in genetic counseling and family planning.
