GJC2 Gene Leukodystrophy hypomyelinating Genetic Test
Introduction
The GJC2 gene is associated with a rare genetic disorder called Leukodystrophy hypomyelinating. Leukodystrophies are a group of disorders characterized by abnormal development or degeneration of the white matter in the brain, which affects the formation of myelin, the protective covering of nerve fibers.
Test Details
The GJC2 Gene Leukodystrophy hypomyelinating Genetic Test is a neurology-based genetic test offered by DNA Labs UAE. The test uses NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology, which allows for the simultaneous sequencing of multiple genes or even the entire exome (all the protein-coding regions of genes) in a single test.
Components and Price
The cost of the GJC2 Gene Leukodystrophy hypomyelinating Genetic Test is AED 4400.0. The test can be performed on a blood sample, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA Card.
Report Delivery
The report for the GJC2 Gene Leukodystrophy hypomyelinating Genetic Test is typically delivered within 3 to 4 weeks.
Test Type and Department
The GJC2 Gene Leukodystrophy hypomyelinating Genetic Test falls under the category of neurological disorders and is conducted by the Genetics department of DNA Labs UAE.
Pre Test Information
Before undergoing the GJC2 Gene Leukodystrophy hypomyelinating Genetic Test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient. Additionally, a genetic counseling session may be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by Leukodystrophy hypomyelinating.
Doctor and Method
The GJC2 Gene Leukodystrophy hypomyelinating Genetic Test is performed by a Neurologist using NGS technology.
Benefits of the Test
The GJC2 Gene Leukodystrophy hypomyelinating Genetic Test helps in confirming a diagnosis of Leukodystrophy hypomyelinating by identifying specific genetic variations in the GJC2 gene. It also provides important information for genetic counseling, family planning, and can potentially guide treatment decisions or participation in clinical trials.

NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) is a genetic testing technique that allows for the simultaneous sequencing of multiple genes or even the entire exome (all the protein-coding regions of genes) in a single test. In the context of Leukodystrophy hypomyelinating, NGS genetic testing can be used to analyze the GJC2 gene for mutations or variations that may be responsible for the disease. By identifying specific genetic variations in the GJC2 gene, NGS testing can help in confirming a diagnosis of Leukodystrophy hypomyelinating. It can also provide important information for genetic counseling and family planning, as well as potentially guide treatment decisions or participation in clinical trials. |
