ACTA2 gene multisystemic smooth muscle dysfunction syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that affects the smooth muscles throughout the body. This condition is caused by mutations in the ACTA2 gene, which plays a crucial role in the contraction and function of smooth muscle cells. These mutations lead to a wide range of symptoms and complications, […]
Myopathy refers to a group of diseases that affect the muscle fibers, leading to weakness, cramps, stiffness, and even spasms. One specific form of myopathy is linked to mutations in the mitochondrial transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, including the MT-TQ gene. This article delves into the symptoms associated with MT-TQ gene myopathy and the importance of […]
The GATA6 gene is crucial for the development of various organs in the body, including the pancreas and heart. Mutations in this gene can lead to pancreatic agenesis and congenital heart defects, conditions that are both serious and potentially life-threatening. Understanding the symptoms associated with these conditions and the importance of genetic testing can be […]
McKusick-Kaufman syndrome (MKKS), also known as Kaufman-McKusick syndrome, is a rare genetic disorder that affects multiple systems of the body. This condition is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, meaning that an individual must receive a defective gene from each parent to be affected. The MKKS gene, which plays a crucial role in the development […]
In the realm of genetic testing, advancements have paved the way for early detection and intervention in numerous hereditary conditions. Among these, the TRPM4 gene-related progressive familial heart block stands out due to its critical impact on cardiac health. DNA Labs UAE is at the forefront of this pioneering field, offering a comprehensive genetic test […]

In the realm of genetic testing and diagnosis, understanding the intricacies of specific genes and their associated conditions is crucial for both patients and healthcare providers. One such condition that has garnered attention is Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF), a chronic and ultimately fatal disease characterized by a progressive decline in lung function. The SFTPA1 gene […]
MELAS syndrome, which stands for Mitochondrial Encephalopathy, Lactic Acidosis, and Stroke-like episodes, is a complex genetic condition that affects various systems of the body, particularly the nervous system and muscles. It is caused by mutations in mitochondrial DNA, specifically in the MT-TF gene. Understanding the symptoms of MELAS syndrome is crucial for early diagnosis and […]
Pulmonary hypertension in newborns, also known as neonatal pulmonary hypertension, is a serious and potentially life-threatening condition characterized by high blood pressure in the lungs’ arteries. This condition can significantly impact the oxygenation of the newborn’s body, leading to critical health issues. Recent advancements in genetic research have identified a connection between the CRHR1 gene […]
Understanding MT-TL1 Gene MELAS Syndrome Mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes, commonly known as MELAS syndrome, is a rare genetic disorder that affects multiple systems in the body, including the brain and muscles. It is primarily caused by mutations in the mitochondrial DNA, particularly in the MT-TL1 gene. Understanding the symptoms associated with […]
