EEF2 Gene Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 26 Autosomal Dominant Genetic Test
Are you concerned about Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 26 (SCA26)? DNA Labs UAE offers the EEF2 Gene Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 26 Autosomal Dominant Genetic Test to provide a comprehensive assessment of genetic variations associated with this neurological disorder.
Test Details
The EEF2 gene is associated with Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 26 (SCA26), an autosomal dominant form of ataxia. Ataxia is a neurological disorder characterized by a lack of muscle control or coordination, leading to problems with balance, speech, and movement.
NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a method used to analyze multiple genes simultaneously, providing a comprehensive assessment of genetic variations. In the context of SCA26, NGS genetic testing can be used to identify mutations or variations in the EEF2 gene that may be responsible for the development of the disorder.
By analyzing the EEF2 gene using NGS, healthcare professionals can determine if there are any disease-causing mutations present. This information can help in confirming a diagnosis of SCA26, providing prognostic information, and guiding treatment decisions.
It is important to note that genetic testing for SCA26 is typically performed in individuals with symptoms consistent with ataxia or a family history of the condition. Genetic counseling is often recommended before and after testing to discuss the potential implications of the results.
Test Components and Price
The EEF2 Gene Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 26 Autosomal Dominant Genetic Test is priced at 4400.0 AED.
Sample Condition
The test can be performed on blood, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card.
Report Delivery
The test results will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks.
