Spinocerebellar Ataxia (SCA) is a term used for a group of hereditary ataxias that are characterized by degenerative changes in the part of the brain related to the control of movement, and often in the spinal cord. Among these, SCA-14 is a type that results from mutations in the PRKCG gene. This particular type of […]
Spinocerebellar Ataxia (SCA) encompasses a group of genetic disorders characterized by progressive degeneration of the cerebellum, the part of the brain responsible for coordinating movement. Among the various types, SCA-11 is particularly noteworthy due to its genetic basis in mutations of the TTBK2 gene. This mutation leads to a variety of symptoms that can severely […]
In the realm of genetic testing and molecular diagnostics, understanding the significance of specific gene mutations is crucial for both patients and healthcare providers. One such mutation that has garnered attention is the PIK3CA mutation. This genetic alteration is associated with various forms of cancer, including breast cancer, colorectal cancer, and others, making its detection […]
In the UAE, the health and well-being of newborns are of paramount importance, and one of the most crucial steps taken by parents towards ensuring their child’s health is opting for a comprehensive newborn screening panel.

Understanding the intricacies of our body’s immune system is crucial, especially when it comes to diagnosing and managing autoimmune disorders. One such condition that requires precise diagnosis is related to the MuSK (Muscle Specific Kinase) antibodies. These antibodies are a significant concern as they play a pivotal role in the development of Myasthenia Gravis (MG), […]
Mitochondrial Encephalomyopathy, Lactic Acidosis, and Stroke-like Episodes (MELAS) is a rare, multisystem genetic disorder that affects various parts of the body, particularly the brain and the muscular system. It is one of the family of mitochondrial cytopathies, which also includes MERRF syndrome, Kearns-Sayre syndrome, and others. MELAS is caused by mutations in the mitochondrial DNA […]
Megalencephalic Leukoencephalopathy with Subcortical Cysts (MLC), identified by Van Der Knaap and Nalband, is a rare genetic disorder that significantly impacts the brain’s white matter. This condition, often detected in early childhood, leads to an array of neurological symptoms and challenges. The disorder is primarily caused by mutations in the MLC1 and HEPACAM genes, which […]
Leigh Syndrome, a severe neurological disorder, manifests through a complex spectrum of symptoms that can perplex both families and healthcare professionals. It is a condition that primarily affects the central nervous system, leading to progressive loss of mental and movement abilities. Recognizing the symptoms early can be crucial for management and treatment. DNA Labs UAE […]
Leber’s Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON) is a rare genetic disorder that primarily affects the eyes and vision. It is characterized by the sudden loss of central vision, which is crucial for tasks such as reading, driving, and recognizing faces. LHON is caused by mutations in the mitochondrial DNA, and it is therefore inherited in a […]
