FAM126A Gene Leukodystrophy hypomyelinating type 5 Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the FAM126A Gene Leukodystrophy hypomyelinating type 5 Genetic Test for individuals who may be at risk for this rare genetic disorder. Leukodystrophies are a group of disorders that affect the white matter of the brain, leading to abnormal myelin formation or maintenance.
Test Components and Price
The FAM126A Gene Leukodystrophy hypomyelinating type 5 Genetic Test is priced at 4400.0 AED. The test can be performed on a blood sample, extracted DNA, or even one drop of blood on an FTA card.
Report Delivery and Method
After the sample is collected, the report will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks. The test utilizes NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology, which allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes or the entire genome.
Test Type and Doctor
The FAM126A Gene Leukodystrophy hypomyelinating type 5 Genetic Test falls under the category of Neurological Disorders. It is recommended to consult with a Neurologist for this specific test.
Test Department and Pre Test Information
The test is conducted in our Genetics department. Before undergoing the FAM126A Gene Leukodystrophy hypomyelinating type 5 NGS Genetic DNA Test, it is essential to provide the clinical history of the patient. Additionally, a Genetic Counselling session will be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by this specific genetic disorder.
About FAM126A Gene Leukodystrophy hypomyelinating type 5
The FAM126A gene is associated with a type of leukodystrophy called hypomyelinating type 5. This genetic disorder affects the white matter of the brain, leading to abnormal myelin formation or maintenance. By analyzing the DNA sequence of the FAM126A gene, NGS genetic testing can help identify specific mutations or variants that may be causing hypomyelinating type 5 leukodystrophy.
It is important to note that genetic testing for leukodystrophies, including hypomyelinating type 5, should be conducted and interpreted by healthcare professionals with expertise in genetics and neurology. They can provide more detailed information about the specific genetic test, its accuracy, and its implications for an individual or family.

The FAM126A gene is associated with a type of leukodystrophy called hypomyelinating type 5. Leukodystrophies are a group of rare genetic disorders that affect the white matter of the brain, leading to abnormal myelin formation or maintenance. NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a type of genetic test that allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes or the entire genome. In the context of leukodystrophies, NGS can be used to identify mutations or variants in genes associated with these disorders, including the FAM126A gene. By analyzing the DNA sequence of the FAM126A gene, NGS genetic testing can help identify specific mutations or variants that may be causing hypomyelinating type 5 leukodystrophy. This information can be useful for confirming a diagnosis, understanding disease progression, and potentially guiding treatment options or genetic counseling. It’s important to note that genetic testing for leukodystrophies, including hypomyelinating type 5, should be conducted and interpreted by healthcare professionals with expertise in genetics and neurology. They can provide more detailed information about the specific genetic test, its accuracy, and its implications for an individual or family. |
