VRK1 Gene Pontocerebellar Hypoplasia Type 1A Genetic Test
Welcome to DNA Labs UAE, where we offer advanced genetic testing services. Today, we will be discussing the VRK1 Gene Pontocerebellar Hypoplasia Type 1A Genetic Test. This test is designed to diagnose and provide information about pontocerebellar hypoplasia type 1A (PCH1A), a rare genetic disorder affecting the cerebellum and the pons.
Test Components
The VRK1 Gene Pontocerebellar Hypoplasia Type 1A Genetic Test includes the following components:
- Price: 4400.0 AED
- Sample Condition: Blood or Extracted DNA or One drop Blood on FTA Card
- Report Delivery: 3 to 4 Weeks
- Method: NGS Technology
- Test Type: Neurological Disorders
- Doctor: Neurologist
- Test Department: Genetics
Pre Test Information
Before undergoing the VRK1 Gene Pontocerebellar Hypoplasia Type 1A 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 VRK1 Gene Pontocerebellar Hypoplasia Type 1A.
Test Details
The VRK1 gene is associated with pontocerebellar hypoplasia type 1A (PCH1A), a condition characterized by underdevelopment of the cerebellum and the pons. These regions of the brain are crucial for motor control and coordination. NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is used to analyze multiple genes or even the entire exome of the genome. It utilizes advanced sequencing technologies to rapidly sequence DNA samples.
For PCH1A, NGS genetic testing can identify mutations or variants in the VRK1 gene that are linked to the condition. This test can confirm a diagnosis, provide genetic information about the disease, and assist in genetic counseling and family planning.
It is essential to note that genetic testing should only be performed and interpreted by qualified healthcare professionals or genetic counselors who can provide appropriate guidance and support.

Test Details |
The VRK1 gene is associated with a condition called pontocerebellar hypoplasia type 1A (PCH1A). PCH1A is a rare genetic disorder characterized by underdevelopment (hypoplasia) of the cerebellum and the pons, which are regions of the brain involved in motor control and coordination. NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a type of genetic testing that allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes or even the entire exome (all protein-coding regions of the genome). It uses advanced sequencing technologies to efficiently and rapidly sequence DNA samples. In the context of PCH1A, NGS genetic testing can be used to identify mutations or variants in the VRK1 gene that are associated with the condition. This can help confirm a diagnosis, provide information about the genetic cause of the disease, and assist in genetic counseling and family planning. It is important to note that genetic testing should be performed and interpreted by a qualified healthcare professional or genetic counselor who can provide appropriate guidance and support. |
