Galactosemia is a rare genetic metabolic disorder that affects an individual’s ability to metabolize the sugar galactose properly. It is caused by mutations in the GALT gene, which encodes the enzyme galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase. This enzyme is crucial for the normal processing of galactose, a sugar found in all foods that contain milk. When the GALT […]
Genetic testing has become an essential part of modern healthcare, offering insights into inherited conditions and enabling early intervention. Among the various genetic disorders, Glutaric Acidemia Type 2C, caused by mutations in the ETFDH gene, is a condition that can have significant health implications. DNA Labs UAE is at the forefront of providing comprehensive genetic […]
Galactosialidosis is a rare genetic disorder that affects multiple organ systems within the body. It is caused by mutations in the CTSA gene, which leads to a deficiency of the protective lysosomal enzyme, cathepsin A. This enzyme deficiency results in the accumulation of certain complex compounds in the body’s cells, leading to the symptoms associated […]
Genetic testing has become a cornerstone in the diagnosis and management of various inherited disorders. One such condition that has garnered attention is Glutaric aciduria type 3, linked to mutations in the SUGCT gene. DNA Labs UAE is at the forefront of providing comprehensive genetic testing services, including for Glutaric aciduria type 3. This article […]
DNA Labs UAE is at the forefront of genetic testing, offering a comprehensive range of services designed to provide valuable insights into your genetic makeup. One of the specialized tests available is for the ABCB4 gene, which is linked to Gallbladder Disease Type 1. Understanding the symptoms of this genetic condition is crucial for early […]
The GSTT1 gene is responsible for encoding an enzyme known as Glutathione S-transferase theta-1 (GSTT1), which plays a crucial role in the detoxification process within the human body. This enzyme helps in metabolizing xenobiotics, which are foreign chemical substances not naturally produced by the body, and various carcinogens. A deficiency in the GSTT1 gene can […]
Gaucher disease is a genetic disorder that arises due to the deficiency of an enzyme called glucocerebrosidase. This enzyme’s role is crucial in the breakdown and recycling of glucocerebroside, a substance found in our cells. When this enzyme is deficient or doesn’t work correctly, glucocerebroside accumulates in cells, especially those of the spleen, liver, and […]
Understanding GSS Gene Glutathione Synthetase Deficiency Glutathione synthetase deficiency, caused by mutations in the GSS gene, is a rare genetic disorder that affects the body’s ability to produce glutathione. Glutathione is a critical antioxidant that plays a key role in protecting cells from oxidative damage and maintaining the immune system. Individuals with this deficiency can […]
Genetic testing has become a cornerstone in the diagnosis and management of various genetic disorders. Among these, Gaucher disease, particularly type 2, stands out due to its severity and the critical importance of early diagnosis. DNA Labs UAE is at the forefront of providing comprehensive genetic testing services, including the GBA Gene Gaucher Disease Type […]
Gaucher disease is a rare genetic disorder that affects many of the body’s organs and tissues. It is caused by a deficiency in the enzyme glucocerebrosidase, which leads to the accumulation of glucocerebroside in cells, particularly within the spleen, liver, and bone marrow. This accumulation can cause a wide range of symptoms and complications. Type […]
