DARS2 Gene Leukoencephalopathy with brainstem and spinal cord involvement and lactate elevation Genetic Test
Are you looking for a genetic test for Leukoencephalopathy with brainstem and spinal cord involvement and lactate elevation (LBSL)? DNA Labs UAE offers a comprehensive genetic test for the DARS2 gene, which is associated with this rare genetic disorder.
Test Details
The DARS2 gene is linked to Leukoencephalopathy with brainstem and spinal cord involvement and lactate elevation (LBSL), a progressive neurological disorder that affects the brain, brainstem, and spinal cord. Our Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes, including the DARS2 gene, in a single test. NGS technology is a rapid and cost-effective method for genetic diagnosis, as it can sequence large portions of the genome efficiently.
How the Test Works
The NGS genetic test for LBSL requires a DNA sample, usually obtained through a blood sample, from the individual suspected of having the disorder. Using NGS technology, we analyze the DARS2 gene and other relevant genes associated with LBSL. By identifying specific genetic mutations or variants in the DARS2 gene, our NGS test can confirm a diagnosis of LBSL.
Test Components and Price
The cost of the DARS2 Gene Leukoencephalopathy with brainstem and spinal cord involvement and lactate elevation Genetic Test is AED 4400.0. The test can be performed on blood or extracted DNA, or even just one drop of blood on an FTA card. The report will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks.
Pre-Test Information
Prior to undergoing the DARS2 Gene Leukoencephalopathy with brainstem and spinal cord involvement and lactate elevation NGS Genetic DNA Test, it is recommended to provide the clinical history of the patient. Additionally, a Genetic Counselling session is advised to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by LBSL.
Test Department and Doctor
The DARS2 Gene Leukoencephalopathy with brainstem and spinal cord involvement and lactate elevation Genetic Test is conducted by our Genetics department. The test is typically ordered by a Neurologist who specializes in neurological disorders.
Importance of Genetic Testing
Genetic testing, including NGS, is a crucial step in understanding the underlying cause of LBSL. It can provide valuable information for treatment and management strategies. It is important to note that genetic testing should be performed by medical professionals, such as geneticists or genetic counselors, who can interpret the results and provide appropriate counseling and support to individuals and families affected by LBSL.

Test Details | The DARS2 gene is associated with a rare genetic disorder called Leukoencephalopathy with brainstem and spinal cord involvement and lactate elevation (LBSL). LBSL is a progressive neurological disorder that affects the brain, brainstem, and spinal cord. NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) is a type of genetic test that allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes, including the DARS2 gene, in a single test. NGS technology enables the rapid and cost-effective sequencing of large portions of the genome, making it a powerful tool for genetic diagnosis. The NGS genetic test for LBSL involves obtaining a DNA sample, typically through a blood sample, from the individual suspected of having the disorder. The DNA is then sequenced using NGS technology to analyze the DARS2 gene and other relevant genes associated with LBSL. By identifying specific genetic mutations or variants in the DARS2 gene, the NGS test can confirm a diagnosis of LBSL. This information is crucial for understanding the underlying cause of the disorder and can help guide treatment and management strategies. It’s important to note that genetic testing, including NGS, is typically performed by medical professionals, such as geneticists or genetic counselors, who can interpret the results and provide appropriate counseling and support to individuals and families affected by LBSL. |
