NIPA1 Gene SPG6 Genetic Test
Cost: AED 4400.0
Overview
The NIPA1 Gene SPG6 Genetic Test is a diagnostic test offered by DNA Labs UAE. This test is designed to identify genetic mutations or variations in the NIPA1 gene, which is associated with a rare genetic disorder called hereditary spastic paraplegia type 6 (SPG6). SPG6 is characterized by progressive stiffness and weakness in the legs, leading to difficulty walking.

Pre Test Information
Prior to undergoing the NIPA1 Gene SPG6 Genetic Test, it is important for the patient to provide their clinical history. Additionally, a genetic counseling session may be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with NIPA1 Gene SPG6. This information will help in the interpretation of the test results and provide a better understanding of the inheritance pattern of the disorder.
Test Details
The NIPA1 gene is specifically associated with hereditary spastic paraplegia type 6 (SPG6). Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology is utilized for this genetic test, allowing for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes. In the case of SPG6, NGS is used to sequence the NIPA1 gene and identify any genetic mutations or variations that may be causing the disorder.
NGS genetic testing for the NIPA1 gene in SPG6 serves multiple purposes. It aids in the diagnosis of the disorder and provides information about the specific genetic variant responsible for the condition. This information is valuable for understanding the inheritance pattern of the disorder and for providing genetic counseling to affected individuals and their families.
It is important to note that genetic testing for SPG6 should only be ordered by a healthcare professional with expertise in genetics. The results of the genetic test should be interpreted alongside a thorough clinical evaluation and family history.
