GOSR2 Gene Progressive Myoclonus Epilepsy Type 6 Genetic Test
Are you or a loved one experiencing muscle twitches and seizures? It could be a sign of Progressive Myoclonus Epilepsy Type 6 (PME6), a rare genetic disorder associated with the GOSR2 gene. DNA Labs UAE offers a comprehensive genetic test to diagnose PME6 and provide valuable information for treatment decisions.
Test Details
The GOSR2 gene is linked to PME6, a condition characterized by progressive muscle twitches (myoclonus) and seizures (epilepsy). Our Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) genetic testing utilizes advanced sequencing technology to analyze multiple genes simultaneously. By examining the GOSR2 gene, we can identify mutations or variations that may be responsible for PME6.
The test involves collecting a blood or extracted DNA sample, or simply one drop of blood on an FTA Card. Once the sample is received, the report will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks. Our specialized laboratory utilizes NGS technology to ensure accurate and reliable results.
Why Should You Get Tested?
Receiving a molecular diagnosis through our GOSR2 gene test can provide valuable information about your condition. It confirms the presence of GOSR2 gene mutations and identifies the specific genetic variant(s) involved. This information helps in understanding the underlying cause of the disease, predicting disease progression, and potentially guiding treatment decisions.
It is important to note that NGS genetic testing should be ordered and interpreted by healthcare professionals familiar with genetic testing and neurogenetic disorders. We highly recommend genetic counseling before and after testing to discuss the potential implications and limitations of the test results.
Test Cost and Pre-Test Information
The cost of the GOSR2 Gene Progressive Myoclonus Epilepsy Type 6 Genetic Test is AED 4400.0. Before undergoing the test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient. Additionally, a genetic counseling session will be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by PME6.

The GOSR2 gene is associated with a rare genetic disorder called Progressive Myoclonus Epilepsy Type 6 (PME6). PME6 is characterized by progressive muscle twitches (myoclonus) and seizures (epilepsy). NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a type of genetic testing that uses advanced sequencing technology to analyze multiple genes simultaneously. In the case of PME6, NGS genetic testing can be used to identify mutations or variations in the GOSR2 gene that may be responsible for the condition. The purpose of this test is to provide a molecular diagnosis for individuals suspected of having PME6. It can help confirm the presence of GOSR2 gene mutations and provide information about the specific genetic variant(s) involved. This information can be useful for understanding the underlying cause of the disease, predicting disease progression, and potentially guiding treatment decisions. It’s important to note that NGS genetic testing is typically performed by specialized laboratories and should be ordered and interpreted by healthcare professionals familiar with genetic testing and neurogenetic disorders. Genetic counseling is often recommended before and after testing to discuss the potential implications and limitations of the test results. |
