FGF14 Gene Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 27 Autosomal Dominant Genetic Test
Cost: AED 4400.0
Overview
Spinocerebellar ataxia type 27 (SCA27) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by progressive degeneration of the cerebellum and other areas of the brain. It is caused by mutations in the FGF14 gene. The FGF14 gene provides instructions for making a protein called fibroblast growth factor 14, which is involved in the development and function of neurons in the brain, particularly in the cerebellum. Mutations in the FGF14 gene disrupt the normal function of the protein, leading to the signs and symptoms of SCA27.
Test Details
The FGF14 Gene Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 27 Autosomal Dominant Genetic Test is a neurogenetic test offered by DNA Labs UAE. The test utilizes NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology to analyze multiple genes simultaneously and identify mutations or variations in the DNA sequence. In the case of SCA27, this test specifically detects mutations in the FGF14 gene.

Pre Test Information
Prior to undergoing the FGF14 Gene Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 27 Autosomal Dominant 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 with SCA27. This information helps in the interpretation of test results and provides valuable insights for genetic counseling and guidance.
Inheritance
Autosomal dominant inheritance means that a person only needs to inherit one copy of the mutated gene from either parent to develop the disorder. If a person has a parent with SCA27, they have a 50% chance of inheriting the mutated gene and developing the condition.
Genetic Counseling
It is important to note that genetic testing for SCA27 should be performed by a qualified healthcare professional or genetic counselor who can interpret the results and provide appropriate genetic counseling and guidance. They can help individuals understand the implications of the test results, provide support, and assist in making informed decisions regarding medical management and family planning.
At DNA Labs UAE, we strive to provide accurate and reliable genetic testing services. Our FGF14 Gene Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 27 Autosomal Dominant Genetic Test can help confirm a diagnosis of SCA27 in individuals with symptoms suggestive of the condition and also identify carriers of the mutated gene within a family. Contact us today to learn more about this test and how it can benefit you and your loved ones.
