Dementia is a collective term used to describe various symptoms of cognitive decline, such as forgetfulness. It is a symptom of several underlying diseases and brain disorders. Understanding and diagnosing dementia early can significantly affect the management and progression of the condition. DNA Labs UAE is at the forefront of providing advanced diagnostic solutions, including […]

Symptoms of Nx Gen Sequencing Dravet’s Syndrome and Early Infantile Epileptic Encephalopathy Dravet’s Syndrome and Early Infantile Epileptic Encephalopathy (EIEE) are two severe neurological conditions that manifest in early childhood. Both conditions are characterized by frequent seizures, developmental delays, and cognitive impairments. Understanding the symptoms of these disorders is crucial for early diagnosis and management. […]

In the rapidly evolving field of genetics, the ability to pinpoint the root causes of rare neurological disorders has become increasingly sophisticated. One such advancement is the advent of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, which has been a game-changer in diagnosing conditions that were previously difficult to identify. Among these conditions is episodic ataxia, a […]

Megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts (MLC) is a rare genetic disorder that affects the brain. It is characterized by an abnormally large brain (megalencephaly) along with leukoencephalopathy, a condition that involves the white matter of the brain. Subcortical cysts, which are fluid-filled sacs, are also a hallmark of this condition. Understanding the symptoms of this […]

Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is a rare genetic condition that affects the nervous system and the adrenal glands. It is a disorder that leads to the accumulation of very long-chain fatty acids in the brain and the adrenal cortex, causing damage to the myelin sheath, which is the protective covering of the nerves. This damage interferes with […]

Understanding the genetic underpinnings of various diseases has become a cornerstone of modern medicine, enabling more precise diagnoses, personalized treatments, and better patient outcomes. Among the numerous conditions being explored through genetic testing, POLG gene-related Alper’s Syndrome stands out due to its complexity and the critical need for early diagnosis. At DNA Labs UAE, we […]

Meningoencephalitis is a serious condition that combines the characteristics of both meningitis and encephalitis, where the brain and the membranes that surround it become inflamed. This inflammation can be caused by infections, autoimmune diseases, or other conditions. Recognizing the symptoms early can lead to prompt treatment, which is crucial for a positive outcome. DNA Labs […]

In the realm of medical diagnostics, the precision and speed at which conditions can be identified are paramount. Among the numerous tests that have become essential in the quick diagnosis and treatment of severe conditions is the Meningoencephalitis Panel CSF Test. This test is a critical tool in the arsenal of healthcare professionals for the […]

Familial Hemiplegic Migraine (FHM) is a rare form of migraine headache that is accompanied by hemiparesis (weakness on one side of the body) during the aura phase of the migraine. This condition is primarily genetic, and advancements in genetic testing have made it possible to identify the mutations associated with FHM. DNA Labs UAE is […]

Wilson-Turner syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that primarily affects males. It is characterized by intellectual disability, obesity, gynecomastia (enlarged breasts in males), and hypogonadism (decreased function of the gonads). This condition is caused by mutations in the LAS1L gene, which plays a crucial role in the normal development and function of various systems in […]
