Adenine Phosphoribosyltransferase (APRT) Deficiency is a rare genetic disorder that can lead to kidney disease and, in severe cases, kidney failure. It’s caused by mutations in the APRT gene, which plays a crucial role in the body’s processing of adenine, one of the four main nucleobases found in DNA. When this gene is defective, adenine […]
ACADVL gene acyl-CoA very long-chain dehydrogenase deficiency, commonly known as VLCAD deficiency, is a rare genetic disorder that affects the body’s ability to break down certain fats into energy, particularly during periods of fasting or illness. This condition is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, which means that an individual must inherit two copies of […]
Symptoms of ACADS Gene Acyl-CoA Short-Chain Dehydrogenase Deficiency Acyl-CoA Short-Chain Dehydrogenase Deficiency (ACADSD) is a rare genetic disorder that affects the body’s ability to break down certain fats into energy, particularly during periods of fasting. This condition is caused by mutations in the ACADS gene, which plays a critical role in the metabolism of short-chain […]
At DNA Labs UAE, we are committed to providing our clients with comprehensive and accurate genetic testing services. One of the critical tests we offer is for the ETFB gene, which is linked to Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency (MADD). This condition is a rare but serious disorder that affects how the body converts certain fats into […]
Understanding the nuances of genetic disorders is crucial for early diagnosis and treatment. One such condition that has garnered attention in the medical community is Acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency, specifically linked to mutations in the ETFA gene. This condition falls under the umbrella of multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiencies (MADD), also known as Glutaric acidemia type II. […]
ACADM gene acyl-CoA medium-chain dehydrogenase (MCAD) deficiency is a rare genetic disorder that affects the body’s ability to convert certain fats into energy, especially during periods without food. This condition can lead to various symptoms and health issues, some of which can be severe or even life-threatening, particularly in infants and young children. Understanding the […]
Acute Hepatic Porphyria (AHP) is a group of rare genetic conditions characterized by a deficiency in one of the enzymes involved in the heme biosynthesis pathway. This deficiency leads to the accumulation of porphyrins and their precursors in the body, causing a wide range of symptoms. One type of AHP, linked to the ALAD gene, […]
— Understanding your genetic predisposition to certain conditions can be a key factor in leading a healthier life. One such condition that affects a significant portion of the population, particularly those of East Asian descent, is acute alcohol sensitivity. This condition is primarily influenced by variations in the ALDH2 gene. DNA Labs UAE offers a […]
Genetic testing has become a cornerstone in the diagnosis and understanding of numerous genetic disorders, allowing for precise identification of conditions that were previously challenging to diagnose. Among these is the deficiency in the ACACA gene, which encodes for the enzyme Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase. This enzyme plays a critical role in fatty acid synthesis, and its […]
Understanding ACHE Gene Acetylcholinesterase Deficiency Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) deficiency is a rare genetic condition that affects the way the body breaks down acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter essential for muscle movement and various functions in the nervous system. The deficiency is caused by mutations in the ACHE gene, leading to an accumulation of acetylcholine, which can result in […]
