The ATR Gene Seckel Syndrome Type 1 Genetic Test is a specialized diagnostic tool available at DNA Labs UAE, designed to identify mutations in the ATR gene, which are responsible for Seckel Syndrome Type 1. Seckel Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by growth retardation, microcephaly (a smaller than normal head), and a distinctive facial appearance. The condition is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, meaning that an individual must inherit two copies of the mutated gene, one from each parent, to be affected.

This genetic test is crucial for families with a history of Seckel Syndrome, as it helps in making informed decisions regarding family planning, provides insights into the prognosis of the condition, and aids in the exploration of potential therapeutic interventions. Conducted at the state-of-the-art facilities of DNA Labs UAE, the test requires a sample of the patient’s DNA, usually obtained through a blood sample or a cheek swab.

The cost of the ATR Gene Seckel Syndrome Type 1 Genetic Test at DNA Labs UAE is 4400 AED. This investment covers the expenses of the sophisticated genetic analysis required to detect mutations in the ATR gene with high accuracy. For families affected by Seckel Syndrome, this test represents a valuable resource for understanding their genetic makeup and managing the condition more effectively.
