The LARS2 gene Perrault Syndrome Type 4 genetic test is a specialized diagnostic tool used to detect mutations in the LARS2 gene, which are linked to Perrault Syndrome Type 4. Perrault Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by sensorineural hearing loss in both males and females and premature ovarian failure in females. The LARS2 gene plays a crucial role in mitochondrial function, and mutations in this gene can disrupt normal cellular activities, leading to the symptoms observed in affected individuals.

This genetic test is available at DNA Labs UAE, a leading facility in genetic testing and analysis. The test involves collecting a DNA sample, typically through a blood draw or cheek swab, which is then analyzed in the laboratory to identify any mutations in the LARS2 gene. The cost of the test is 4400 AED, reflecting the specialized nature of the analysis and the comprehensive insights it provides.

Opting for this test can be particularly important for families with a history of Perrault Syndrome or individuals showing symptoms related to the disorder. Early diagnosis through genetic testing can aid in better understanding the condition, facilitating informed decisions about management and treatment options. It also helps in genetic counseling for affected families, providing them with crucial information regarding the inheritance patterns and risks of passing the condition to future generations.
