At DNA Labs UAE, we are committed to providing our clients with comprehensive genetic testing services, including the TENM1 Gene Colobomatous Microphthalmia Genetic Test. This particular test is crucial for individuals who are at risk of or are showing symptoms of colobomatous microphthalmia, a rare genetic condition that can significantly impact ocular health.
Understanding Colobomatous Microphthalmia
Colobomatous microphthalmia is a complex eye disorder that primarily affects the size and structure of the eye from birth. It is characterized by the underdevelopment of the eye (microphthalmia) and a missing piece in the structures of the eye (coloboma). These abnormalities can lead to significant visual impairment and, in some cases, blindness. The condition is caused by mutations in the TENM1 gene, among others, which play a crucial role in eye development during gestation.
Symptoms of Colobomatous Microphthalmia
The symptoms of colobomatous microphthalmia can vary widely among affected individuals. Some common signs include:
- Noticeably smaller eyes (microphthalmia)
- Defects in the iris, choroid, or eyelid (coloboma)
- Visual impairment or blindness
- Nystagmus (uncontrolled eye movements)
- Strabismus (misalignment of the eyes)
It’s important to note that the severity of symptoms can vary, and not all individuals will experience all of these symptoms. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for managing the condition and improving the quality of life for those affected.
The TENM1 Gene Colobomatous Microphthalmia Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the TENM1 Gene Colobomatous Microphthalmia Genetic Test to help identify mutations in the TENM1 gene that could lead to this condition. This test is recommended for individuals who have a family history of colobomatous microphthalmia or who are showing symptoms of the disorder.
The genetic test involves a simple blood draw or saliva sample from the patient. Our state-of-the-art laboratory processes the sample to analyze the TENM1 gene for any mutations. The results of this test can provide valuable information for diagnosis, treatment planning, and family planning decisions.
Cost of the Test
The cost of the TENM1 Gene Colobomatous Microphthalmia Genetic Test at DNA Labs UAE is 4400 AED. While the cost may seem significant, the information gained from this test can be invaluable in managing the condition and improving outcomes for those affected.
