MPV17 Gene Mitochondrial DNA Depletion Syndrome Type 6 Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the MPV17 Gene Mitochondrial DNA Depletion Syndrome Type 6 Genetic Test. This test helps in the diagnosis of a rare genetic disorder known as mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome type 6 (MTDPS6). MTDPS6 affects the mitochondria, which are responsible for producing energy in the cells.
Test Details
The MPV17 gene is associated with MTDPS6. This genetic disorder is characterized by a decrease in the amount of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in affected tissues, leading to various symptoms. Our Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology allows us to analyze multiple genes simultaneously. In the case of MTDPS6, NGS is used to sequence the MPV17 gene and identify any mutations or variations that may be present.
Test Components and Price
The MPV17 Gene Mitochondrial DNA Depletion Syndrome Type 6 Genetic Test is priced at 4400.0 AED. The test requires a blood sample or extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card.
Report Delivery
After the sample is collected, the report will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks.
Test Type and Doctor
The MPV17 Gene Mitochondrial DNA Depletion Syndrome Type 6 Genetic Test falls under the category of Neurological Disorders. It is recommended to consult a Neurologist for this test.
Test Department and Pre Test Information
This test is conducted in our Genetics department. Before the test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient who is going for the MPV17 Gene Mitochondrial DNA Depletion Syndrome Type 6 NGS Genetic DNA Test. Additionally, a Genetic Counselling session will be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with MTDPS6.
How the Test Works
NGS genetic testing for MTDPS6 involves collecting a sample of DNA, usually through a blood sample or a cheek swab. The DNA is then sequenced using NGS technology, which can analyze the entire coding region of the MPV17 gene. The results of the test can help confirm a diagnosis of MTDPS6 and provide information about the inheritance pattern of the condition.
Referral and Genetic Counseling
It’s important to note that genetic testing for MTDPS6 is typically done in specialized laboratories and may require a referral from a healthcare provider who suspects the condition based on the individual’s symptoms and medical history. Genetic counseling is also recommended both before and after genetic testing to help individuals and families understand the implications of the test results and make informed decisions about their healthcare.
