CHD8 Gene Autism Susceptibility Type 18 Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the CHD8 Gene Autism Susceptibility Type 18 Genetic Test at a cost of AED 4400.0. This test can help in the diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and identify the presence of CHD8 gene mutations.
Test Details
The CHD8 gene is responsible for regulating gene expression and chromatin remodeling. It has been associated with ASD susceptibility, especially in cases of early onset and severe ASD. Our NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology allows us to analyze DNA and detect variations in the DNA sequence, including mutations in the CHD8 gene.
The CHD8 gene mutation is one of the most common genetic mutations found in individuals with ASD, occurring in approximately 1-2% of cases. Therefore, NGS genetic testing for CHD8 gene mutations is recommended for individuals with ASD who have a family history of the disorder or other symptoms suggesting a genetic cause.
It is important to note that genetic testing alone cannot diagnose ASD. A comprehensive evaluation of symptoms and other factors by a qualified healthcare professional is necessary for a diagnosis. However, NGS genetic testing for CHD8 gene mutations can provide valuable information about the underlying cause of ASD, which can guide treatment and management decisions.

Pre Test Information
Before undergoing the CHD8 Gene Autism Susceptibility Type 18 Genetic Test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient. Additionally, a genetic counseling session will be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by CHD8 Gene Autism Susceptibility Type 18.
If you suspect that you or your loved one may have ASD and are interested in genetic testing, we recommend consulting with our neurologist who specializes in neurological disorders.
At DNA Labs UAE, we strive to provide accurate and reliable genetic testing services. Contact us today to schedule an appointment or for more information about the CHD8 Gene Autism Susceptibility Type 18 Genetic Test.

| Test Details | The CHD8 gene is a gene that provides instructions for making a protein that plays a role in regulating gene expression and chromatin remodeling. Chromatin remodeling refers to the process of changing the structure of chromatin, which is the complex of DNA and proteins that make up chromosomes. The CHD8 gene has been associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) susceptibility, particularly in cases of early onset and severe ASD. NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a type of genetic testing that uses advanced sequencing technologies to analyze DNA. NGS can detect variations in the DNA sequence, including mutations and other genetic changes that may be associated with a particular disease or condition. NGS genetic testing can be used to identify genetic mutations in the CHD8 gene that may increase the risk of ASD. The CHD8 gene mutation is one of the most common genetic mutations associated with ASD. The CHD8 gene mutation has been found in approximately 1-2% of individuals with ASD. NGS genetic testing for CHD8 gene mutations may be recommended for individuals with ASD who have a family history of the disorder or who have other symptoms or characteristics that suggest a genetic cause for their condition. Overall, NGS genetic testing for CHD8 gene mutations may provide important information about the underlying cause of ASD in some individuals and may help guide treatment and management decisions. However, it is important to note that genetic testing alone cannot diagnose ASD, and a diagnosis should be made by a qualified healthcare professional based on a comprehensive evaluation of symptoms and other factors. |
