Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common type of lung cancer, making up about 85% of all cases. Among the genetic mutations associated with NSCLC, the ALK (anaplastic lymphoma kinase) EML4 (echinoderm microtubule-associated protein-like 4) fusion gene is one of the significant biomarkers for targeted therapy. Identifying the presence of this genetic alteration […]
In the realm of genetic diagnostics, understanding and identifying the genetic underpinnings of diseases is paramount. Among these, Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) stands out as a condition that demands precise genetic insight for effective management and treatment. DNA Labs UAE, a leading entity in genetic testing, offers a comprehensive AML Panel Deletion/Duplication Detection Test designed […]
Beta Thalassemia is a blood disorder that diminishes the production of hemoglobin, an iron-containing protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen to cells throughout the body. Caused by mutations in the HBB gene, this condition can lead to an array of health issues, including anemia, fatigue, and more severe complications if left untreated. Recognizing […]
Muscle biopsies are critical diagnostic tools in the field of medicine, offering invaluable insights into a wide array of neuromuscular disorders. At DNA Labs UAE, we are at the forefront of providing comprehensive diagnostic services, including the Biopsy Muscle with Special Stains and Immunohistochemistry (IHC) Test. This sophisticated test is designed to diagnose various muscular […]
Symptoms of CAH Deletion and Duplication Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) is a group of inherited genetic disorders that affect the adrenal glands. These glands are responsible for producing hormones that regulate various functions within the body, including metabolism, immune system, blood pressure, and stress response. CAH is characterized by a deficiency in one of the […]
Understanding CLL and the Importance of Genetic Testing Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) is a type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow, leading to the overproduction of white blood cells known as lymphocytes. While it progresses slowly compared to other forms of leukemia, early detection and understanding its genetic underpinnings are crucial for […]
Understanding CXCR4 Gene Mutation and Its Implications The CXCR4 gene plays a crucial role in the human body, influencing various physiological processes, including immune system function and stem cell movement. Mutations in the CXCR4 gene can lead to a range of health issues, making it vital to understand the symptoms associated with this genetic anomaly. […]
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a life-threatening genetic disorder that primarily affects the lungs and digestive system. It is caused by mutations in the CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator) gene, which leads to the production of thick, sticky mucus that can clog the airways and trap bacteria, resulting in repeated, severe lung infections. Among the […]
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a severe type of muscular dystrophy characterized by rapid progression of muscle degeneration, leading to muscle weakness. This condition is caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene, which plays a crucial role in maintaining muscle cell structure. DMD primarily affects males, but females can be carriers of the disease and […]
Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is a severe genetic disorder that affects the motor neurons in the spinal cord, leading to muscle wasting and weakness. While individuals with SMA show symptoms, carriers of the genetic mutation responsible for SMA often do not. However, when two carriers have a child, there’s a 25% chance the child will […]
