Symptoms and Testing information for POMT1 Gene Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy autosomal recessive type 2N Genetic Test
Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) is a genetically and clinically heterogeneous group of rare muscular dystrophies. It is characterized by progressive weakness and wasting of the muscles around the hips and shoulders (the limb-girdle area). Among the various types of LGMD, the autosomal recessive type 2N, caused by mutations in the POMT1 gene, stands out due […]
Symptoms and Testing information for POLR3B Gene Leukodystrophy hypomyelinating type 8 Genetic Test
“` Understanding POLR3B Gene Leukodystrophy Hypomyelinating Type 8 Leukodystrophies are a group of rare, progressive, metabolic, genetic diseases that affect the brain, spinal cord, and often the peripheral nerves. Among these, POLR3B gene leukodystrophy, also known as hypomyelinating leukodystrophy type 8, stands out due to its unique genetic basis and clinical manifestations. This condition is […]
Symptoms and Testing information for DNAJB6 Gene Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy autosomal dominant type 1E Genetic Test
Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) is a term for a group of diseases that cause weakness and wasting of the muscles in the arms and legs. The muscles most affected are those closest to the body (proximal muscles), specifically the muscles of the shoulders, upper arms, pelvic area, and thighs. The severity, age of onset, and […]
Symptoms and Testing information for RARS Gene Leukodystrophy hypomyelinating type 9 Genetic Test
In the realm of genetic disorders, leukodystrophies hold a significant place due to their impact on the central nervous system. Among these, RARS gene leukodystrophy, hypomyelinating type 9, stands out for its rarity and the complexity of its symptoms. DNA Labs UAE, a leading institution in genetic testing, offers a comprehensive genetic test for this […]
Symptoms and Testing information for SGCD Gene Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy autosomal recessice type 2F Genetic Test
Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) is a genetically and clinically heterogeneous group of rare muscular dystrophies. It is characterized by progressive weakness and wasting of the muscles around the hips and shoulders, which constitute the limb girdle area. Among the various types of LGMD, autosomal recessive type 2F, caused by mutations in the SGCD gene, is […]
Symptoms and Testing information for DARS2 Gene Leukoencephalopathy with brainstem and spinal cord involvement and lactate elevation Genetic Test
Leukoencephalopathy with brainstem and spinal cord involvement and lactate elevation (LBSL) is a rare genetic disorder that affects the white matter of the brain. It is caused by mutations in the DARS2 gene, which plays a crucial role in the production of mitochondrial aspartyl-tRNA synthetase, an enzyme essential for protein synthesis within mitochondria. The disorder […]
Symptoms and Testing information for SCP2 Gene Leukoencephalopathy with dystonia and motor neuropathy Genetic Test
Leukoencephalopathy with dystonia and motor neuropathy is a rare genetic disorder that affects the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. This condition is caused by mutations in the SCP2 gene, which plays a critical role in the metabolism of certain fats in the body. Individuals with this disorder often experience a range of symptoms that […]
Symptoms and Testing information for EIF2B1 Gene Leukoencephalopathy with vanishing white matter Genetic Test
Leukoencephalopathy with vanishing white matter (VWM) is a rare and severe genetic disorder that affects the brain’s white matter, leading to a progressive decline in neurological functions. This condition is primarily caused by mutations in one of the five genes, one of which is the EIF2B1 gene. Understanding the symptoms of this condition is crucial […]
Symptoms and Testing information for EIF2B2 Gene Leukoencephalopathy with vanishing white matter Genetic Test
Leukoencephalopathy with vanishing white matter (VWM) is a rare genetic disorder that affects the brain’s white matter, leading to a progressive deterioration of motor functions and cognitive abilities. One of the genes associated with this condition is the EIF2B2 gene. Understanding the symptoms and undergoing genetic testing for mutations in the EIF2B2 gene can be […]
