AP4S1 Gene SPG52 Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the AP4S1 Gene SPG52 Genetic Test for individuals suspected of having hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP). This rare neurodegenerative disorder is characterized by progressive weakness and stiffness in the legs, resulting in difficulty walking.
Test Details
The AP4S1 gene, also known as SPG52, is associated with HSP. Our NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology allows us to analyze multiple genes simultaneously, helping us identify genetic variations that may be responsible for causing HSP.
Components and Price
The cost of the AP4S1 Gene SPG52 Genetic Test is 4400.0 AED. We accept blood or extracted DNA samples, or even just one drop of blood on an FTA card.
Report Delivery
Once the sample is received, the report will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks.
Test Type and Department
The AP4S1 Gene SPG52 Genetic Test falls under the category of Neurological Disorders and is conducted by our Genetics department.
Pre Test Information
Prior to the test, we require a clinical history of the patient. Additionally, a Genetic Counselling session will be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by AP4S1 Gene SPG52.
Doctor and Method
The test will be conducted by a Neurologist using NGS technology.
Importance of Genetic Testing
Genetic testing can help confirm a diagnosis, understand disease progression, and provide appropriate genetic counseling and management for individuals and their families affected by HSP. However, it is crucial that genetic testing is performed and interpreted by qualified healthcare professionals specializing in genetics and neurology.
Genetic Counseling
We strongly recommend genetic counseling both before and after the test. This will allow individuals to discuss the potential risks, benefits, and limitations of testing, as well as the implications of the results for themselves and their families.

Test Details |
AP4S1 gene, also known as SPG52, is associated with a rare neurodegenerative disorder called hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP). HSP is characterized by progressive weakness and stiffness in the legs, leading to difficulty in walking. It is caused by the degeneration of nerve fibers that control muscle movement in the lower limbs. NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a technique used to analyze multiple genes simultaneously to identify genetic variations that may be associated with a specific disorder or condition. In the case of AP4S1/SPG52 gene, NGS genetic testing can help identify mutations or variations in this gene that may be responsible for causing HSP. By analyzing the AP4S1 gene using NGS, healthcare professionals can determine whether a person has genetic variations in this gene that are associated with HSP. This information can be helpful in confirming a diagnosis, understanding disease progression, and providing appropriate genetic counseling and management for individuals and their families affected by HSP. It is important to note that genetic testing should be performed and interpreted by qualified healthcare professionals who specialize in genetics and neurology. Genetic counseling is also recommended before and after genetic testing to discuss the potential risks, benefits, and limitations of testing, as well as the implications of the results for the individual and their family. |
