ACOX1 Gene Acyl-CoA Peroxisomal Oxidase Deficiency Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the ACOX1 Gene Acyl-CoA peroxisomal oxidase deficiency genetic test. This test helps in the diagnosis and management of a rare metabolic disorder characterized by the accumulation of fatty acids in the body, particularly in the liver and brain.
Test Details
The ACOX1 gene encodes for acyl-CoA oxidase 1, an enzyme involved in the breakdown of fatty acids in peroxisomes. Deficiency in this enzyme can lead to acyl-CoA peroxisomal oxidase deficiency. To identify mutations in the ACOX1 gene that may cause this disorder, we utilize NGS (next-generation sequencing) technology. This type of testing allows for the analysis of multiple genes simultaneously, providing a more comprehensive assessment of genetic variations that may contribute to the development of the disease.

Doctor and Test Department
The test will be conducted by a Neurologist in our Genetics department.
Pre Test Information
Prior to the test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient who is going for the ACOX1 Gene Acyl-CoA peroxisomal oxidase deficiency NGS Genetic DNA Test. Additionally, a Genetic Counselling session will be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with this disorder.
Symptoms and Diagnosis
Individuals with acyl-CoA peroxisomal oxidase deficiency may experience symptoms such as liver and neurological damage. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent long-term complications. Genetic testing can help identify individuals who may be at risk for this disorder, allowing for early intervention and management.
Conclusion
The ACOX1 Gene Acyl-CoA peroxisomal oxidase deficiency genetic test offered by DNA Labs UAE provides a comprehensive assessment of genetic variations that may contribute to the development of this rare metabolic disorder. Early diagnosis and management are essential in preventing long-term complications. If you suspect that you or a family member may be at risk, consider getting tested today.
