Mucolipidosis Type IV (MLIV) is a rare genetic disorder, primarily affecting individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish descent, although it can occur in any ethnic group. This condition is characterized by the deficiency of a crucial enzyme due to mutations in the MCOLN1 gene. The absence or malfunctioning of this enzyme leads to the accumulation of lipids […]
Mucopolysaccharidosis Type 1H, also known as Hurler syndrome, is a severe genetic disorder caused by mutations in the IDUA gene. This gene is responsible for producing the enzyme alpha-L-iduronidase, which plays a crucial role in breaking down glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) within the body. When mutations in the IDUA gene occur, it leads to the accumulation of […]
Mucopolysaccharidosis Type II (MPS II), also known as Hunter syndrome, is a rare, inherited genetic disorder caused by a deficiency of the enzyme iduronate-2-sulfatase. This enzyme deficiency leads to the accumulation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in various body tissues, causing a range of symptoms that can affect appearance, physical abilities, organ and system functioning, and, in […]
DNA Labs UAE stands at the forefront of genetic diagnostics, offering a comprehensive range of tests that cater to various genetic conditions. Among these, the SGSH Gene Mucopolysaccharidosis Type 3A Genetic Test is a pivotal service provided by the laboratory, designed to diagnose a condition that is both complex and rare. This article delves into […]
Mucopolysaccharidosis Type IIIB, also known as Sanfilippo Syndrome Type B, is a rare genetic disorder that affects the body’s ability to break down certain types of sugar molecules called glycosaminoglycans (previously known as mucopolysaccharides). This condition is caused by a mutation in the NAGLU gene, which leads to a deficiency in the alpha-N-acetylglucosaminidase enzyme. As […]
Mucopolysaccharidosis Type III, commonly known as Sanfilippo Syndrome, is a rare, inherited metabolic disorder characterized by the body’s inability to properly break down certain sugars called glycosaminoglycans. This condition is divided into four subtypes (A, B, C, and D), each caused by a deficiency in one of the four enzymes required for the stepwise degradation […]
Mucopolysaccharidosis Type 3D, also known as Sanfilippo Syndrome Type D, is a rare genetic disorder that affects the body’s ability to break down certain sugar molecules. This condition is part of a group of diseases known as lysosomal storage disorders. It is caused by mutations in the GNS gene, which leads to the accumulation of […]
Symptoms of SLC25A3 Gene Mitochondrial Phosphate Carrier Deficiency Genetic Test The SLC25A3 gene plays a crucial role in the proper functioning of our cells, specifically within the mitochondria, which are often referred to as the powerhouses of the cell. A deficiency in the mitochondrial phosphate carrier, which is encoded by the SLC25A3 gene, can lead […]
Mucopolysaccharidosis Type IVA (MPS IVA), also known as Morquio Syndrome type A, is a rare genetic disorder caused by a deficiency in the enzyme N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfatase (GALNS). This enzyme is crucial for the breakdown and recycling of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in the body. Without it, GAGs accumulate in cells, blood, and connective tissues, leading to progressive systemic […]
Understanding the symptoms and early detection of Mitochondrial Pyruvate Carrier Deficiency (MPCD) is crucial for managing this rare genetic disorder effectively. At DNA Labs UAE, we specialize in providing comprehensive genetic testing services, including the MPC1 Gene Mitochondrial Pyruvate Carrier Deficiency Genetic Test. This test is designed to diagnose individuals suspected of having MPCD, a […]
