The “ALX4 Gene Parietal Foramina Type 2 Genetic Test” is a specialized diagnostic procedure designed to identify mutations in the ALX4 gene, which are associated with the development of Parietal Foramina Type 2, a rare genetic condition. This condition is characterized by the incomplete closure of the skull bones, specifically at the parietal bones, leading to foramina, or gaps, which can vary in size. These gaps are typically symptomless but can be associated with other cranial or neurological abnormalities in some cases.

Conducted at DNA Labs UAE, a leading facility in genetic diagnostics, this test is crucial for individuals with a family history of Parietal Foramina or related symptoms. It provides essential genetic insights that can aid in the accurate diagnosis, management, and understanding of the condition’s inheritance patterns. The test involves collecting a DNA sample, usually through a blood draw or cheek swab, which is then analyzed for specific mutations in the ALX4 gene that are indicative of Parietal Foramina Type 2.

The cost of the ALX4 Gene Parietal Foramina Type 2 Genetic Test at DNA Labs UAE is 4400 AED. This price reflects the comprehensive nature of the test, including the advanced genetic sequencing and analysis required to detect mutations accurately. While the cost may seem significant, the value of the information it provides for affected individuals and their families can be invaluable, offering insights that facilitate informed medical and personal decisions regarding the condition.

ALX4 Gene Parietal foramina type 2 Genetic Test

Are you looking for information about the ALX4 Gene Parietal foramina type 2 Genetic Test? Look no further! DNA Labs UAE offers this test at a cost of AED 4400.0. Read on to learn more about the symptoms, diagnosis, and other important details.

Test Details

The ALX4 gene is associated with a rare genetic disorder called parietal foramina type 2 (PFM2). PFM2 is characterized by the presence of small openings in the parietal bones of the skull, known as parietal foramina. These openings can be present on one or both sides of the skull.

Our ALX4 Gene Parietal foramina type 2 Genetic Test uses Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to analyze multiple genes, including the ALX4 gene, for potential genetic variations or mutations. By identifying specific changes in the ALX4 gene associated with PFM2, this test can help confirm a diagnosis.

Benefits of Genetic Testing for PFM2

Genetic testing for PFM2 can provide several benefits:

  1. Diagnosis: It can confirm a suspected diagnosis of PFM2 based on clinical symptoms and findings.
  2. Carrier testing: It can determine if an individual carries a mutation in the ALX4 gene, even if they do not have any symptoms. This information can be useful for family planning and reproductive decision-making.
  3. Genetic counseling: It can provide valuable information for genetic counseling, allowing healthcare professionals to discuss the inheritance pattern and the risks of passing on the condition to offspring.

Pre Test Information

Prior to undergoing the ALX4 Gene Parietal foramina type 2 Genetic Test, it is recommended to provide a clinical history of the patient. Additionally, a genetic counseling session may be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by PFM2.

Test Department and Doctor

The ALX4 Gene Parietal foramina type 2 Genetic Test is conducted in the Genetics department of DNA Labs UAE. The test is supervised by a Neurologist.

Sample Collection and Report Delivery

The test requires a blood sample or extracted DNA. Alternatively, one drop of blood can be collected on an FTA card. The report will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks.

It is important to note that genetic testing should always be done under the guidance of a healthcare professional or genetic counselor who can interpret the results and provide appropriate counseling and support.

Test Details

The ALX4 gene is associated with a condition called parietal foramina type 2 (PFM2). PFM2 is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the presence of one or more small openings in the parietal bones of the skull. These openings are called parietal foramina and can be present on one or both sides of the skull.

NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) is a type of genetic testing that allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes, including the ALX4 gene, to identify potential genetic variations or mutations. This type of testing can help confirm a diagnosis of PFM2 by identifying specific changes in the ALX4 gene that are known to be associated with the condition.

Genetic testing for PFM2 can be helpful in several ways, including:

1. Diagnosis: It can confirm a suspected diagnosis of PFM2 based on clinical symptoms and findings.

2. Carrier testing: It can determine if an individual carries a mutation in the ALX4 gene, even if they do not have any symptoms of PFM2. This information can be useful for family planning and reproductive decision-making.

3. Genetic counseling: It can provide valuable information for genetic counseling, allowing healthcare professionals to discuss the inheritance pattern and the risks of passing on the condition to offspring.

It is important to note that genetic testing should be done under the guidance of a healthcare professional or genetic counselor who can interpret the results and provide appropriate counseling and support.
