Mucopolysaccharidosis type 6 (MPS VI), also known as Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome, is a rare genetic disorder caused by the deficiency of the enzyme arylsulfatase B (ARSB). This enzyme deficiency leads to the accumulation of dermatan sulfate in the body, affecting multiple organ systems and leading to a wide range of symptoms. Early diagnosis through genetic testing […]
Molybdenum cofactor deficiency (MoCD) is a rare genetic disorder that affects the body’s ability to process certain proteins and waste products. Type B of this condition, caused by mutations in the MOCS2 gene, can lead to severe neurological and developmental problems if not diagnosed and managed early. DNA Labs UAE offers a comprehensive genetic test […]
Mucopolysaccharidosis type VII, also known as Sly syndrome, is a rare genetic disorder caused by a deficiency in the enzyme beta-glucuronidase, which is coded by the GUSB gene. This enzyme deficiency leads to the accumulation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in various body tissues, causing a wide range of symptoms. DNA Labs UAE offers a comprehensive genetic […]
Understanding the intricacies of genetic conditions is crucial in the realm of modern medicine, and one such rare but significant condition is Molybdenum Cofactor Deficiency (MoCD) Type C. This disorder, linked to mutations in the GPHN gene, has profound implications for those affected. At DNA Labs UAE, we are committed to providing comprehensive genetic testing […]
Symptoms of SLC16A1 Gene Monocarboxylate Transporter 1 Deficiency The SLC16A1 gene is essential for the proper functioning of the body, specifically in the transport of lactate and ketone bodies across cell membranes. A deficiency in the Monocarboxylate Transporter 1 (MCT1), which is encoded by the SLC16A1 gene, can lead to a range of symptoms and […]
Mucolipidosis Type II alpha/beta, also known as I-cell disease, is a rare, inherited lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in the GNPTAB gene. This condition is characterized by a wide range of symptoms, from skeletal abnormalities to delayed development, primarily due to the body’s inability to properly recycle certain materials within the cells. Understanding the […]
Mucolipidosis Type III (ML III), also known as Pseudo-Hurler Polydystrophy, is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the GNPTAB gene. This condition affects many parts of the body and primarily impairs the body’s ability to break down certain types of sugars and fats. Early diagnosis and management are crucial for improving the quality […]
Symptoms of GNPTG Gene Mucolipidosis Type 3 Gamma Mucolipidosis Type 3 Gamma, caused by mutations in the GNPTG gene, is a rare lysosomal storage disorder that affects many parts of the body. This condition is characterized by skeletal abnormalities, distinctive facial features, and developmental delays, among other symptoms. Recognizing the signs and symptoms early can […]
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 […]
Mevalonic aciduria is a rare genetic disorder that affects the body’s ability to metabolize certain lipids properly. This condition is caused by mutations in the MVK gene, which plays a crucial role in the mevalonate pathway, a key pathway in the synthesis of cholesterol and isoprenoids. These substances are vital for various cellular processes, including […]
