Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) represents a diverse group of genetic disorders characterized by progressive weakness and wasting of the muscles, particularly those around the hips and shoulders (the limb-girdles). Among the various types, LGMD type 2K, caused by mutations in the POMT1 gene, stands out due to its autosomal recessive inheritance pattern. This means that […]
Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) is a term used to describe 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 […]
Leukodystrophies are a group of rare, genetic disorders that affect the white matter of the brain. Among these, TUBB4A gene leukodystrophy, also known as hypomyelinating leukodystrophy type 6, is a condition that presents with a variety of symptoms and requires specific genetic testing for diagnosis. At DNA Labs UAE, we offer a comprehensive genetic test […]

The muscles most affected are those closest to the body (proximal muscles), specifically the muscles of the shoulders and upper arms and the muscles of the hips and thighs. LGMD […]
Understanding POLR3A Gene Leukodystrophy Hypomyelinating Type 7 Leukodystrophies are a group of rare genetic disorders characterized by the progressive degeneration of the white matter in the brain. Among these, POLR3A gene leukodystrophy hypomyelinating type 7 stands out due to its unique genetic underpinnings and the specific symptoms it presents. Caused by mutations in the POLR3A […]

“` 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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
