KIF1A Gene HSN2C Genetic Test – DNA Labs UAE
The KIF1A Gene HSN2C Genetic Test offered by DNA Labs UAE is a comprehensive test used to diagnose the rare neurological disorder called hereditary spastic paraplegia type 30 (HSP30), also known as HSN2C. This test is specifically designed for individuals experiencing symptoms such as progressive weakness and stiffness in the lower limbs, leading to difficulty in walking.
Test Details
The KIF1A gene is responsible for producing a protein called kinesin family member 1A, which plays a crucial role in the transport of cellular components along microtubules. Mutations in the KIF1A gene have been associated with HSP30/HSN2C. This disorder is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner, meaning that a mutation in one copy of the KIF1A gene is sufficient to cause the condition.
The KIF1A Gene HSN2C Genetic Test utilizes NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology to analyze multiple genes simultaneously. This method helps identify mutations or variations that may be associated with HSN2C. By obtaining a DNA sample, typically through a blood or saliva sample, the laboratory can sequence the DNA to identify any variations or mutations in the KIF1A gene.
Test Components and Cost
The KIF1A Gene HSN2C Genetic Test is priced at 4400.0 AED. The sample condition required for this test can be either blood, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card. The report delivery time is estimated to be 3 to 4 weeks.
Referral and Pre-Test Information
Individuals interested in this test should consult with a neurologist, as this test falls under the domain of neurological disorders. A clinical history of the patient should be provided prior to the test. Additionally, a genetic counseling session is recommended to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by HSN2C.
Benefits and Applications
The KIF1A Gene HSN2C Genetic Test can provide valuable information for individuals with symptoms suggestive of HSN2C, as well as their family members who may be at risk of inheriting the condition. It can aid in confirming a diagnosis of HSN2C and provide specific details about the mutation present in an individual. This information is crucial for genetic counseling and family planning purposes.
It is important to note that NGS genetic testing is a complex and specialized procedure that requires expertise in genetic analysis and interpretation. Therefore, it should be performed by a qualified laboratory, such as DNA Labs UAE, and the results should be interpreted by a healthcare professional with expertise in genetics.

This type of genetic testing involves obtaining a DNA sample, typically through a blood or saliva sample, and sequencing the DNA to identify any variations or mutations in the KIF1A gene. The results of the test can help confirm a diagnosis of HSN2C and provide information about the specific mutation present in an individual.
