AGRN Gene Myasthenic Syndrome Congenital Genetic Test
Introduction
The AGRN gene is associated with a rare genetic disorder called Myasthenic syndrome, congenital, which is characterized by muscle weakness and fatigue. This condition is caused by mutations in the AGRN gene, which provides instructions for producing a protein called agrin.
Test Details
The AGRN Gene Myasthenic syndrome congenital Genetic Test is a next-generation sequencing (NGS) genetic test. NGS is a high-throughput method that allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes, making it an efficient tool for genetic testing.
Components and Price
The test costs AED 4400.0 and requires a blood sample for analysis.
Report Delivery
The test results will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks.
Test Type and Department
The AGRN Gene Myasthenic syndrome congenital Genetic Test falls under the category of Neurological Disorders and is conducted by the Genetics department.
Doctor and Pre Test Information
The test should be performed under the guidance of a Neurologist. It is recommended to provide the clinical history of the patient who is going for the test. Additionally, a Genetic Counselling session may be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with AGRN Gene Myasthenic syndrome, congenital.
Importance of the Test
The NGS genetic test for Myasthenic syndrome, congenital involves sequencing the DNA of the patient to identify any changes or mutations in the AGRN gene. This can help in confirming a diagnosis, understanding the specific genetic cause of the condition, and providing information for genetic counseling.
Conclusion
Genetic testing for AGRN Gene Myasthenic syndrome congenital should be done under the guidance of a healthcare professional or genetic counselor who can interpret the results and provide appropriate counseling and support.
