AR Gene Spinal and Bulbar Muscular Atrophy X-Linked Genetic Test
Welcome to DNA Labs UAE, where we offer the AR Gene Spinal and Bulbar Muscular Atrophy X-Linked Genetic Test. This test is designed to diagnose spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA), also known as Kennedy’s disease.
Test Components and Cost
- Test Name: AR Gene Spinal and Bulbar Muscular Atrophy X-Linked Genetic Test
- Price: 4400.0 AED
Sample Condition
The test can be conducted using a blood sample, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card.
Report Delivery
Once the sample is received, the report will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks.
Method
The test utilizes Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology.
Test Type
The AR Gene Spinal and Bulbar Muscular Atrophy X-Linked Genetic Test is specifically designed for neurological disorders.
Doctor and Test Department
This test is conducted by a neurologist in the Genetics department.
Pre Test Information
Prior to the test, a clinical history of the patient is taken. Additionally, a genetic counseling session is conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by AR Gene Spinal and Bulbar Muscular Atrophy X-Linked.
Test Details
The AR Gene Spinal and Bulbar Muscular Atrophy X-Linked Genetic Test is a comprehensive genetic test used to diagnose SBMA. SBMA is a rare genetic disorder primarily affecting males and is caused by mutations in the AR gene on the X chromosome.
The test analyzes the entire coding region of the AR gene, along with other relevant genes, using NGS technology. This allows for the identification of genetic variations or mutations associated with SBMA, providing a comprehensive analysis of the disease’s genetic factors.
The test is typically performed using a blood or saliva sample, and results are usually available within a few weeks. A positive result confirms the presence of an AR gene mutation, confirming a diagnosis of SBMA.
Genetic testing for SBMA is beneficial for individuals experiencing symptoms of the disease and those with a family history of SBMA. It helps confirm a diagnosis, provides information about disease progression and prognosis, and assists in reproductive decisions and genetic counseling.
It is important to note that this test is specific to SBMA and does not screen for other genetic disorders or conditions. It is typically ordered by a healthcare provider specializing in genetics or neurology and may require pre-authorization from insurance companies due to its specialized nature.
