The AP4M1 gene is crucial in human development, playing a significant role in the formation and function of the nervous system. Mutations in the AP4M1 gene are associated with a form of microcephaly, a neurological condition characterized by a smaller than normal head size, which often leads to developmental delays and intellectual disabilities. This condition is part of a group of disorders known as AP-4 deficiency syndromes, which can also affect movement and speech.

To diagnose and understand the genetic basis of microcephaly related to the AP4M1 gene, genetic testing is available. This test specifically looks for mutations in the AP4M1 gene that are known to cause the condition. Conducted at DNA Labs UAE, the test offers a comprehensive analysis to identify the genetic alterations in the AP4M1 gene.

The cost of the AP4M1 gene microcephaly-related genetic test at DNA Labs UAE is 4400 AED. This test is a crucial step for families seeking answers about the genetic underpinnings of microcephaly in their loved ones, providing them with essential information for management and treatment options. It’s also valuable for planning future pregnancies and understanding the risk of microcephaly in future offspring.

Test Details: AP4M1 gene microcephaly is a genetic disorder characterized by a small head size (microcephaly) and intellectual disability. It is caused by mutations in the AP4M1 gene, which provides instructions for producing a protein involved in the formation of a protein complex called adaptor protein complex 4 (AP-4). The AP4M1 gene is located on chromosome 7 and is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, meaning that both copies of the gene must be mutated for the disorder to occur. Individuals with only one mutated copy of the gene are carriers and typically do not show symptoms.

NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a method used to analyze multiple genes simultaneously and identify mutations that may be associated with a particular disorder. In the case of AP4M1 gene microcephaly, NGS genetic testing can be used to identify mutations in the AP4M1 gene that may be causing the disorder. NGS genetic testing typically involves obtaining a DNA sample, often through a blood sample or saliva swab, from the individual being tested. The DNA is then sequenced using high-throughput sequencing technologies, which can rapidly analyze large amounts of genetic information. The sequencing data is then compared to a reference genome to identify any mutations or variations in the AP4M1 gene.

Genetic testing for AP4M1 gene microcephaly can provide a definitive diagnosis for individuals with suspected or confirmed symptoms of the disorder. It can also be used for carrier testing in individuals with a family history of the disorder or in populations with a higher prevalence of the condition. It is important to note that genetic testing for AP4M1 gene microcephaly may not be available in all regions or healthcare settings. It is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional or genetic counselor to determine the availability and appropriateness of genetic testing for this condition.
