Karyotyping for the detection of Fragile X Syndrome is a specialized genetic test aimed at identifying abnormalities in the X chromosome that are indicative of this condition. Fragile X Syndrome is a genetic disorder that causes a range of developmental problems, including learning disabilities and cognitive impairment. It is caused by a defect in the FMR1 gene on the X chromosome, where the DNA makes too many copies of itself and does not function properly.

The test involves collecting a sample of the patient’s blood and analyzing the chromosomes present in the sample’s cells. Specifically, technicians look for the presence of an abnormal number of CGG repeats in the FMR1 gene, which is characteristic of Fragile X Syndrome. The process requires sophisticated laboratory equipment and expertise in genetic analysis to accurately diagnose the condition.

At DNA Labs UAE, the test for detecting Fragile X Syndrome through karyotyping is available for a cost of 1500 AED. DNA Labs UAE is equipped with state-of-the-art technology and staffed by professionals skilled in genetic testing and analysis, ensuring accurate and reliable results. The test provides crucial information for families and individuals at risk of Fragile X Syndrome, facilitating early diagnosis and intervention strategies that can significantly improve quality of life.

Description

Karyotyping For Detection of Fragile X Syndrome Test

Test Cost: 1500.0 AED

Symptoms Diagnosis: Fragile X Syndrome is caused by a mutation in the FMR1 gene, which is located on the X chromosome. Karyotyping is not typically used for the detection of Fragile X Syndrome as it is not sensitive enough to detect the specific mutation in the FMR1 gene. Instead, a DNA analysis or DNA sequencing test is used for a more accurate and reliable diagnosis.

Test Components: Sodium Heparin Vacutainer (2ml)

Sample Condition: Peripheral blood

Report Delivery: 7-10 days

Method: Cell culture

Test Type: Genetics

Doctor: Gynecologist

Test Department: Pre Test Information

Pre Test Information: Karyotyping For Detection of Fragile X Syndrome can be done with a Doctor’s prescription. Prescription is not applicable for surgery and pregnancy cases or people planning to travel abroad.

Test Details: Karyotyping is a laboratory technique used to examine the number, size, and shape of chromosomes in a person’s cells. It is commonly used to detect large-scale chromosomal abnormalities, such as Down syndrome. However, it is not sensitive enough to detect the specific mutation in the FMR1 gene that causes Fragile X Syndrome. For the diagnosis of Fragile X Syndrome, a genetic test called a DNA analysis or DNA sequencing is used. This test specifically looks for the mutation in the FMR1 gene, which is characterized by an excessive number of repeated DNA sequences. The genetic test is more accurate and reliable for detecting Fragile X Syndrome compared to karyotyping.
