Leigh Syndrome, a severe neurological disorder, has puzzled medical professionals and affected families alike with its complex presentation and genetic underpinnings. Among the various genetic causes, mutations in the SURF1 gene, leading to cytochrome c oxidase (COX) deficiency, represent a significant subset of this condition. DNA Labs UAE stands at the forefront of genetic testing, […]

Symptoms and Testing information for MT-ND3 Gene Leigh syndrome due to mitochondrial complex I deficiency Genetic Test
Leigh Syndrome, a severe neurological disorder that usually becomes apparent in the first year of life, is a condition that has puzzled and concerned many families around the world. This rare inherited neurometabolic disorder is characterized by the progressive loss of mental and movement abilities, which can lead to severe neurological handicaps and can be […]
Symptoms and Testing information for MT-ND5 Gene Leigh syndrome due to mitochondrial complex I deficiency Genetic Test
Leigh Syndrome, a severe neurological disorder, often manifests in infancy but can emerge at any age. Its symptoms are the result of mitochondrial complex I deficiency, primarily caused by mutations in the MT-ND5 gene. This article explores the symptoms associated with this condition and the significance of genetic testing, specifically focusing on the MT-ND5 Gene […]
Symptoms and Testing information for MT-ND6 Gene Leigh syndrome due to mitochondrial complex I deficiency Genetic Test
Leigh Syndrome, a severe neurological disorder, manifests early in life and is a condition that challenges many families both emotionally and medically. One of the genetic causes of Leigh Syndrome is a deficiency in mitochondrial complex I, specifically linked to mutations in the MT-ND6 gene. Understanding the symptoms and getting an accurate diagnosis through genetic […]
Symptoms and Testing information for NDUFA12 Gene Leigh syndrome due to mitochondrial complex I deficiency Genetic Test
Leigh syndrome due to mitochondrial complex I deficiency is a severe neurological disorder that manifests early in life. This condition, often attributed to mutations in the NDUFA12 gene, leads to a spectrum of symptoms affecting the central nervous system and, more broadly, the body’s energy production capabilities. DNA Labs UAE offers a comprehensive genetic test […]
Symptoms and Testing information for LIPT1 Gene Leigh syndrome due to pyruvate and alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase deficiencies LIPT1 related Genetic Test
Leigh syndrome, a severe neurological disorder, arises due to genetic mutations that affect the energy production in mitochondria, the powerhouse of cells. Among these, mutations in the LIPT1 gene lead to a specific form of Leigh syndrome associated with pyruvate and alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase deficiencies. This article explores the symptoms of LIPT1 gene Leigh syndrome, the […]
Symptoms and Testing information for PC Gene Leigh syndrome due to pyruvate carboxylase deficiency Genetic Test
Leigh syndrome, a severe neurological disorder that often becomes apparent in the first year of life, has been a subject of extensive research and concern within the medical community. Among the various causes of Leigh syndrome, a deficiency in the enzyme pyruvate carboxylase due to mutations in the PC gene stands out due to its […]
Symptoms and Testing information for TACO1 Gene Leigh syndrome due to the mitochondrial complex IV deficiency Genetic Test
Leigh syndrome is a severe neurological disorder that usually becomes apparent in the first year of life. This condition is characterized by progressive loss of mental and movement abilities (psychomotor regression) and typically results in death within two to three years, usually due to respiratory failure. A rare cause of Leigh syndrome, associated with the […]
Symptoms and Testing information for LRPPRC Gene Leigh syndrome French-Canadian type Genetic Test
— Leigh Syndrome French-Canadian type, a variant of Leigh Syndrome, is a severe neurological disorder that typically manifests in infancy or early childhood. This condition, linked to the LRPPRC (Leucine-Rich Pentatricopeptide Repeat Containing) gene, is particularly prevalent among the French-Canadian population of Quebec but can occur in any ethnic group. DNA Labs UAE offers a […]
Symptoms and Testing information for PDHA1 Gene Leigh syndrome X-linked Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we understand the importance of accurate genetic testing for the diagnosis and management of various genetic conditions. One such condition is Leigh syndrome, a severe neurological disorder that affects individuals from an early age. Leigh syndrome associated with the PDHA1 gene is X-linked, meaning it predominantly affects males, though carrier females […]
