The ALDH3A2 gene Sjogren-Larsson Syndrome genetic test is a diagnostic procedure offered by DNA Labs UAE, designed to detect mutations in the ALDH3A2 gene that are associated with Sjogren-Larsson Syndrome (SLS). Sjogren-Larsson Syndrome is a rare, inherited neurocutaneous disorder characterized by ichthyosis (scaly skin), intellectual disability, and spastic diplegia or quadriplegia. Mutations in the ALDH3A2 gene disrupt the metabolism of fatty alcohols, leading to the accumulation of toxic substances in the body, which in turn cause the symptoms of the syndrome.

This genetic test involves collecting a DNA sample, usually through a blood draw or a cheek swab, which is then analyzed in the laboratory for the presence of specific mutations in the ALDH3A2 gene that are known to cause SLS. Identifying these mutations can confirm a diagnosis of Sjogren-Larsson Syndrome, allowing for early intervention, management of symptoms, and genetic counseling for affected families.

The cost of the ALDH3A2 gene Sjogren-Larsson Syndrome genetic test at DNA Labs UAE is 4400 AED. This price may cover the test itself, the expertise of the medical professionals conducting and analyzing the test, and any post-test counseling that may be necessary based on the results. It’s important for potential patients to check if additional costs may apply and if their insurance may cover part of the cost. The test provides crucial information for affected individuals and their families and represents a significant step in managing the condition effectively.

Price: 4400.0 AED

Sample Condition: Blood

Report Delivery: 3 to 4 Weeks

Method: NGS Technology

Test Type: Neurological Disorders

Doctor: Neurologist

Test Department: Genetics

Pre Test Information: Clinical History of Patient who is going for ALDH3A2 Gene Sjogren-Larsson Syndrome NGS Genetic DNA Test. A Genetic Counselling session to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with ALDH3A2 Gene Sjogren-Larsson Syndrome.

Test Details

The ALDH3A2 gene is associated with Sjogren-Larsson Syndrome (SLS), a rare genetic disorder characterized by the triad of ichthyosis (a skin condition), spasticity (muscle stiffness), and intellectual disability.

NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing refers to a high-throughput sequencing method used to analyze multiple genes simultaneously. In the context of SLS, NGS genetic testing can be used to identify mutations or variations in the ALDH3A2 gene that are responsible for causing the syndrome. This type of testing can provide a comprehensive analysis of the entire gene, allowing for a more accurate diagnosis and potentially identifying specific mutations that may guide treatment decisions or provide prognostic information.

NGS genetic testing for Sjogren-Larsson Syndrome can be performed on a blood or saliva sample, and the results are typically interpreted by geneticists or genetic counselors.

It is important to note that genetic testing is not always necessary for the diagnosis of SLS, as clinical evaluation and identification of characteristic symptoms can often be sufficient. However, genetic testing can provide additional confirmation and may be beneficial for genetic counseling and family planning purposes.
