Ataxia Gene Panel Test
Cost: AED 7200.0
Symptoms and Diagnosis
Ataxia is a neurological disorder that affects coordination and balance. Symptoms may include difficulty walking, problems with coordination, slurred speech, and involuntary eye movements. The Ataxia Gene Panel Test is a diagnostic tool that analyzes a specific set of genes associated with ataxia to identify potential genetic mutations or variants responsible for causing the condition in a patient.
Test Components
- Sterile container
- Sterile Normal Saline Container
- EDTA Vacutainer (3 ml)
Sample Condition
The Ataxia Gene Panel Test can be performed using amniotic fluid, chorionic villi, or peripheral blood samples.
Report Delivery
Reports are typically delivered within 4-6 weeks.
Method
The Ataxia Gene Panel Test utilizes Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to analyze the specific set of genes associated with ataxia.
Test Type
The Ataxia Gene Panel Test falls under the category of Genetics testing.
Referring Doctor
The Ataxia Gene Panel Test can be requested by a General Physician.
Test Department
The Ataxia Gene Panel Test is conducted in the Genetics department of DNA Labs UAE.
Pre Test Information
A doctor’s prescription is required to undergo the Ataxia Gene Panel Test. However, it is not applicable for surgery and pregnancy cases or individuals planning to travel abroad.
Test Details
The Ataxia Gene Panel Test analyzes a specific set of genes associated with ataxia, such as ATXN1, ATXN2, ATXN3, ATXN7, CACNA1A, and others. By identifying potential genetic mutations or variants in these genes, the test can confirm a diagnosis, guide treatment decisions, and provide information about the risk of passing on the condition to future generations.
