ANGELMAN SYNDROME Test Cost AED: 1680.0
Angelman syndrome is a neurologic disorder characterized by developmental delay, intellectual disability, speech impairment, and characteristic behavioral traits. DNA Labs UAE offers a comprehensive genetic test for Angelman syndrome to confirm the diagnosis.
Test Details
There is no specific test for Angelman syndrome. Diagnosis is typically based on clinical features. However, genetic testing can confirm the diagnosis by identifying a deletion or mutation in the UBE3A gene, which is responsible for Angelman syndrome.
The DNA methylation test is one method used for genetic testing. It involves analyzing the methylation pattern of the UBE3A gene. Another method is chromosomal microarray analysis, which can detect deletions or duplications in the 15q11-q13 region of chromosome 15.
In some cases, a fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) test may be performed to detect a deletion in the 15q11-q13 region of chromosome 15.
