SLC6A5 Gene Hyperekplexia Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the SLC6A5 Gene Hyperekplexia Genetic Test. This test is designed to diagnose and understand the genetic disorder known as hyperekplexia, or startle disease.
Test Details
Hyperekplexia is a rare neurological condition characterized by an exaggerated startle response, muscle stiffness, and an increased risk of falling. The SLC6A5 gene is associated with this disorder.
Our SLC6A5 Gene Hyperekplexia Genetic Test utilizes NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology. This advanced sequencing method allows us to analyze multiple genes simultaneously, providing a comprehensive assessment of genetic variants associated with hyperekplexia.
The test involves analyzing the entire coding region of the SLC6A5 gene. By identifying mutations or variations in this gene, we can confirm a diagnosis, understand the underlying genetic cause, and guide appropriate treatment and management strategies.
Test Components and Price
The SLC6A5 Gene Hyperekplexia Genetic Test is priced at 4400.0 AED. The test can be performed using a blood sample, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card.
Report Delivery and Test Department
After the sample is collected, the report will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks. The test is conducted in our Genetics department.
Referring Doctor and Test Type
This test is typically referred by a Neurologist, as it falls under the category of Neurological Disorders.
Pre Test Information
Before undergoing the SLC6A5 Gene Hyperekplexia Genetic Test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient. Additionally, a Genetic Counselling session will be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by SLC6A5 Gene Hyperekplexia.
Genetic Counseling
Genetic counseling is an integral part of the testing process. It helps individuals understand the implications of the test results and make informed decisions about their healthcare.
It is important to note that genetic testing for hyperekplexia is typically recommended for individuals who have symptoms consistent with the disorder, as well as their family members.
At DNA Labs UAE, we are dedicated to providing accurate and reliable genetic testing services. If you or your family members are experiencing symptoms of hyperekplexia, we encourage you to consult with a Neurologist and consider the SLC6A5 Gene Hyperekplexia Genetic Test.
