GBA Gene Lewy Body Dementia Susceptibility to Genetic Test
Welcome to DNA Labs UAE, where we offer the GBA Gene Lewy Body Dementia Susceptibility to Genetic Test. This test aims to determine the risk of developing Lewy body dementia (LBD), specifically the subtype called dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB).
Test Details
The GBA gene (glucosylceramidase beta) is associated with an increased risk of developing LBD. DLB is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the presence of abnormal protein aggregates called Lewy bodies in the brain.
Our test utilizes Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology, which allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes or the entire genome. It can identify variations or mutations in the GBA gene that may increase the susceptibility to developing LBD.
Components and Price
The cost of the GBA Gene Lewy Body Dementia Susceptibility to Genetic Test is 3200.0 AED. The sample condition required for the test can be either blood, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card.
Report Delivery
The report will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks from the date of sample submission.
Test Type and Department
The GBA Gene Lewy Body Dementia Susceptibility to Genetic Test falls under the category of neurological disorders. It is conducted in our Genetics department.
Pre Test Information
Prior to undergoing the GBA Gene Lewy Body Dementia Susceptibility to Genetic Test, it is recommended to provide the clinical history of the patient who is going for the test. Additionally, a genetic counseling session will be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with GBA Gene Lewy Body Dementia Susceptibility to.
Method and Doctor
The GBA Gene Lewy Body Dementia Susceptibility to Genetic Test is performed using NGS technology. Our team of experts, led by a neurologist, will handle the testing process.
Important Information
It’s important to note that genetic testing alone cannot diagnose LBD or predict the exact onset or progression of the disease. Other factors, such as environmental and lifestyle factors, also play a role in the development of LBD. Therefore, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional or genetic counselor before undergoing any genetic testing to understand the implications and limitations of the results.
By undergoing the GBA Gene Lewy Body Dementia Susceptibility to Genetic Test, individuals can determine if they carry any genetic variants or mutations in the GBA gene that may predispose them to LBD. This information can be useful for both individuals and healthcare providers in understanding the risk of developing LBD and implementing appropriate preventive measures or treatment plans.
