GJC2 Gene SPG44 Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the GJC2 Gene SPG44 Genetic Test for individuals suspected to have hereditary spastic paraplegia (SPG44). This rare genetic disorder is characterized by progressive stiffness and weakness of the legs due to nerve fiber degeneration.
Test Details
The GJC2 gene, also known as the gap junction protein gamma-2 gene, is associated with SPG44. Our Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology allows us to analyze multiple genes simultaneously, including the GJC2 gene and other relevant genes associated with SPG44. This comprehensive approach enables us to detect genetic variations and confirm a diagnosis of SPG44.
Test Components and Price
The GJC2 Gene SPG44 Genetic Test costs AED 4400.0. The sample condition required for testing can be either blood, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card.
Report Delivery and Method
After sample collection, the report will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks. Our NGS technology ensures accurate and efficient analysis of the genetic material.
Test Type and Doctor
The GJC2 Gene SPG44 Genetic Test falls under the category of Neurological Disorders. It is recommended to consult a neurologist for this specific test.
Test Department and Pre-Test Information
The GJC2 Gene SPG44 Genetic Test is conducted in our Genetics department. Prior to the test, it is essential 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 SPG44.
Importance of Genetic Testing for SPG44
Genetic testing for SPG44 can confirm a diagnosis and provide crucial information for genetic counseling and management of the condition. It is highly recommended to seek the expertise of a qualified healthcare professional or genetic counselor to interpret the test results and receive appropriate guidance and support.

Test Details |
The GJC2 gene, also known as the gap junction protein gamma-2 gene, is associated with a specific form of hereditary spastic paraplegia called SPG44. SPG44 is a rare genetic disorder characterized by progressive stiffness and weakness of the legs (paraplegia) due to degeneration of the nerve fibers that control muscle movement. NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a type of genetic test that uses advanced sequencing technologies to analyze multiple genes simultaneously. It allows for the detection of genetic variations, such as mutations or changes, in the GJC2 gene and other relevant genes associated with SPG44. This test can help confirm a diagnosis of SPG44 and provide important information for genetic counseling and management of the condition. It is important to note that genetic testing for SPG44 should be performed by a qualified healthcare professional or a genetic counselor who can interpret the results and provide appropriate guidance and support. |
