Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, leading to muscle weakness, disability, and eventually, death. One of the genetic causes of ALS is mutations in the SOD1 gene, which accounts for about 20% of familial ALS cases […]
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. Among the various genetic forms of ALS, type 10, caused by mutations in the TARDBP gene, is particularly noteworthy. Understanding the symptoms of TARDBP gene-related ALS and the importance […]
Understanding genetic disorders and their implications is essential for managing health and preventing severe complications. One such genetic condition is the deficiency of the ACOX1 gene, which leads to acyl-CoA oxidase deficiency. This disorder affects the body’s ability to break down certain fats, leading to an accumulation that can cause damage to organs and tissues. […]
Alternating Hemiplegia of Childhood (AHC) is a rare neurological disorder that typically manifests in infancy or early childhood. It is characterized by recurrent episodes of paralysis on one side of the body (hemiplegia), which can switch sides. These episodes can last from minutes to days. The ATP1A2 gene has been identified as one of the […]
Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is a rare, genetic condition that affects the nervous system and the adrenal glands. It is linked to the X chromosome, which is why it primarily affects males, though female carriers can also exhibit symptoms. The ABCD1 gene mutation is responsible for this disorder. Understanding the symptoms of this condition is crucial for […]
Alternating hemiplegia of childhood (AHC) type 2 is a rare neurological disorder that can significantly impact the lives of those affected and their families. This condition is primarily caused by mutations in the ATP1A3 gene. Understanding the symptoms and undergoing genetic testing can be crucial for diagnosis and management. DNA Labs UAE offers a comprehensive […]
— Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is a rare genetic condition that affects the nervous system and the adrenal glands. It is linked to the X chromosome, making it more prevalent in males, though females can also be carriers and may exhibit symptoms. The PLXNB3 gene has been identified as one of the key factors in the development […]
Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) and adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN) are genetically inherited conditions that affect the nervous system and adrenal glands, stemming from mutations in the ABCD1 gene. These conditions can lead to a wide range of symptoms, affecting both physical and neurological functions. Understanding these symptoms is crucial for early detection and management of the conditions. DNA Labs […]
Understanding the complexities of genetic conditions is crucial for early diagnosis and treatment. Among these, the agenesis of the corpus callosum with peripheral neuropathy, related to mutations in the SLC12A6 gene, stands out due to its unique combination of neurological symptoms. DNA Labs UAE is at the forefront of providing comprehensive genetic testing services, including […]
Aicardi-Goutieres Syndrome (AGS) is a rare genetic disorder that affects the brain, immune system, and skin. It is a condition that typically presents in infancy or early childhood and can result in a range of neurological and physical symptoms. One of the genes associated with this condition is the TREX1 gene, and mutations in this […]
