TACO1 Gene Leigh Syndrome Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the TACO1 Gene Leigh Syndrome Genetic Test to diagnose mitochondrial complex IV deficiency, which is associated with Leigh syndrome. This severe neurological disorder typically manifests in infancy or early childhood and is characterized by progressive loss of motor and cognitive abilities, muscle weakness, respiratory problems, and other symptoms.
Test Details
The TACO1 gene is closely linked to Leigh syndrome and mitochondrial complex IV deficiency. Our NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing method allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes or the entire genome. By identifying mutations in the TACO1 gene or other genes associated with mitochondrial complex IV deficiency, our test can provide a definitive diagnosis and guide treatment options.
Test Components and Price
The TACO1 Gene Leigh Syndrome Genetic Test is priced at AED 4400.0. We accept blood samples, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA Card as sample conditions.
Report Delivery and Turnaround Time
Once the sample is received, the report will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks. Our team of experts will thoroughly analyze the genetic data to provide accurate and reliable results.
Referring Doctor and Test Department
This test is recommended by neurologists and falls under the Genetics department at DNA Labs UAE.
Pre Test Information
Prior to the test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient. Additionally, a genetic counseling session will be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by TACO1 Gene Leigh Syndrome due to mitochondrial complex IV deficiency.
Benefits of TACO1 Gene Leigh Syndrome Genetic Test
By identifying the specific genetic mutations causing Leigh syndrome, this test can not only provide a definitive diagnosis but also help in planning treatment and management options. It can also provide information about the likelihood of the condition being passed on to future generations.

| Test Details |
The TACO1 gene is associated with Leigh syndrome, a severe neurological disorder that typically presents in infancy or early childhood. Leigh syndrome is characterized by progressive loss of motor and cognitive abilities, muscle weakness, respiratory problems, and other symptoms. Mitochondrial complex IV deficiency, also known as cytochrome c oxidase deficiency, is a type of mitochondrial disease that affects the function of complex IV in the electron transport chain. This deficiency impairs the ability of cells to produce energy, leading to the symptoms associated with Leigh syndrome. NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a type of genetic testing that allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes or the entire genome. In the case of Leigh syndrome, NGS genetic testing can be used to identify mutations in the TACO1 gene or other genes associated with mitochondrial complex IV deficiency. By identifying the specific genetic mutations causing Leigh syndrome, NGS genetic testing can provide a definitive diagnosis and help guide treatment and management options. It can also provide information about the likelihood of the condition being passed on to future generations. |
