MELAS syndrome, an acronym for Mitochondrial Encephalomyopathy, Lactic Acidosis, and Stroke-like episodes, is a rare genetic disorder that affects the body’s ability to generate energy. This condition is primarily caused by mutations in the mitochondrial DNA, particularly in the MT-TL1 gene. Understanding the symptoms of MELAS syndrome and the importance of genetic testing, specifically the […]

Genetic testing has become a cornerstone in the diagnosis and understanding of various genetic disorders. One such condition that has garnered attention is the syndrome caused by mutations in the CASK gene. This condition is characterized by mental retardation and microcephaly with pontine and cerebellar hypoplasia. DNA Labs UAE is at the forefront of providing […]
Understanding ELK1 Gene and Its Impact on Non-Syndromic Mental Retardation Mental retardation, also known as intellectual disability, is a generalized neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by significantly impaired intellectual and adaptive functioning. It is defined by an IQ score under 70 along with difficulties in two or more adaptive behaviors that affect everyday, general living. Within the […]
Understanding the genetic underpinnings of mental retardation is a critical aspect of modern medical science. Among the various genes implicated in non-syndromic mental retardation, the KLF8 gene has garnered significant attention. The KLF8 gene, or Krüppel-like factor 8, plays a vital role in brain development and function. Mutations in this gene can lead to non-syndromic […]
Understanding the nuances of genetic disorders is pivotal in today’s medical landscape, particularly those that affect cognitive development and function. One such condition that has garnered attention is non-syndromic mental retardation linked to the NXF5 gene. This condition, while less understood compared to other genetic disorders, poses significant challenges to affected individuals and their families. […]
In the realm of genetic testing, advancements have been monumental in providing insights into various genetic disorders. Among these, the ZCCHC12 gene plays a crucial role in non-syndromic mental retardation, a condition characterized by intellectual disabilities that do not coincide with other physical or neurological symptoms. DNA Labs UAE is at the forefront of this […]
Understanding the complexities of genetic disorders is crucial in providing timely and accurate diagnoses that can significantly impact the quality of life for affected individuals and their families. One such complex condition is associated with mutations in the WDR81 gene, leading to mental retardation with cerebellar ataxia and dysequilibrium syndrome type 2 (CAMRQ2). DNA Labs […]
Understanding ATRX Gene Mental Retardation with Hypotonic Facies Syndrome X-Linked ATRX Gene Mental Retardation with Hypotonic Facies Syndrome X-Linked is a rare genetic disorder that affects intellectual development and physical features. This condition, also known as Alpha-thalassemia/mental retardation syndrome X-linked (ATR-X), is characterized by a range of symptoms that can impact an individual’s quality of […]
The FOXP1 gene plays a critical role in the development of the brain and its functions, influencing various cognitive, linguistic, and social behaviors. Variations or mutations in the FOXP1 gene can lead to a range of neurodevelopmental disorders, which may include mental retardation, language impairment, and features of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Recognizing the symptoms […]
