AGK Gene Sengers Syndrome Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the AGK Gene Sengers Syndrome Genetic Test at a cost of 4400.0 AED. This test is used to detect mutations or variations in the AGK gene associated with Sengers syndrome, a rare genetic disorder characterized by muscle weakness, heart abnormalities, and vision problems.
Test Details
The AGK Gene Sengers Syndrome NGS genetic testing refers to the Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) genetic test. It involves sequencing the entire AGK gene to identify any mutations or variations that may be present. This comprehensive analysis allows for the detection of both common and rare mutations.
The AGK gene provides instructions for producing an enzyme called acylglycerol kinase, which is involved in the production of cardiolipin. Cardiolipin is a type of fat molecule that is essential for the normal function of mitochondria, the energy-producing structures within cells.
Symptoms and Diagnosis
Sengers syndrome is characterized by muscle weakness, heart abnormalities, and vision problems. If an individual presents with clinical symptoms, the AGK Gene Sengers Syndrome NGS genetic test can help confirm a diagnosis.
Test Components and Sample Condition
The AGK Gene Sengers Syndrome Genetic Test requires a blood sample or extracted DNA. Alternatively, one drop of blood on an FTA card can also be used.
Report Delivery and Test Department
After the sample is collected, the report will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks. The test is conducted in our Genetics department.
Doctor and Pre Test Information
The AGK Gene Sengers Syndrome Genetic Test is performed by a Cardiologist. Before the test, a Genetic Counselling session is recommended to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by AGK Gene Sengers Syndrome NGS Genetic DNA Test.
Importance of Genetic Testing and Genetic Counseling
Genetic testing can provide valuable information for family members who may be at risk of carrying the AGK gene mutation. It is important to note that genetic testing should be performed and interpreted by qualified healthcare professionals who specialize in genetic disorders. Genetic counseling is often recommended before and after testing to discuss the potential implications of the results and provide support to individuals and families.

AGK Gene Sengers syndrome NGS genetic testing refers to the Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) genetic test that is used to detect mutations or variations in the AGK gene associated with Sengers syndrome. Sengers syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by muscle weakness, heart abnormalities, and vision problems. It is caused by mutations in the AGK gene, which provides instructions for producing an enzyme called acylglycerol kinase. This enzyme is involved in the production of cardiolipin, a type of fat molecule that is essential for the normal function of mitochondria, the energy-producing structures within cells. NGS genetic testing involves sequencing the entire AGK gene to identify any mutations or variations that may be present. This technique allows for a comprehensive analysis of the gene, enabling the detection of both common and rare mutations. The results of the AGK gene NGS genetic test can help confirm a diagnosis of Sengers syndrome in individuals with clinical symptoms and guide appropriate management and treatment options. Additionally, genetic testing can also provide valuable information for family members who may be at risk of carrying the mutation. It is important to note that genetic testing should be performed and interpreted by qualified healthcare professionals who specialize in genetic disorders. Genetic counseling is often recommended before and after testing to discuss the potential implications of the results and provide support to individuals and families. |
