FOLR1 Gene Neurodegeneration due to cerebral folate transport deficiency Genetic Test
Welcome to DNA Labs UAE, where we offer the FOLR1 Gene Neurodegeneration due to cerebral folate transport deficiency Genetic Test. This test is designed to diagnose and provide information about the condition known as neurodegeneration due to cerebral folate transport deficiency (NCFTD).
Test Details
The FOLR1 gene is associated with NCFTD, a condition characterized by the brain’s inability to transport folate (vitamin B9) into the cerebral spinal fluid. This leads to a deficiency of folate in the brain, resulting in neurodegeneration.
Our NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology allows us to analyze the DNA sequence of an individual’s genes. This enables us to detect genetic variations, such as mutations or variants, that may be associated with NCFTD.
Test Components and Price
- Test Name: FOLR1 Gene Neurodegeneration due to cerebral folate transport deficiency Genetic Test
- Price: 4400.0 AED
Sample Condition
We require either blood, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card as the sample condition for this test.
Report Delivery
The report will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks after the test.
Test Type
This test falls under the category of Neurological Disorders.
Referring Doctor and Test Department
Our referring doctor for this test is a Neurologist, and the test is conducted in our Genetics department.
Pre Test Information
Prior to the test, we recommend providing the clinical history of the patient who is going for the FOLR1 Gene Neurodegeneration due to cerebral folate transport deficiency NGS Genetic DNA Test. Additionally, a Genetic Counselling session is conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with NCFTD.
Importance of NGS Genetic Testing
NGS genetic testing is crucial in identifying mutations or variants in the FOLR1 gene that may be causing neurodegeneration due to cerebral folate transport deficiency. This not only helps in confirming a diagnosis but also aids in determining appropriate treatment options for affected individuals.
It is essential to note that NGS genetic testing should always be conducted by a qualified healthcare professional or genetic counselor. These experts can interpret the results and provide appropriate guidance and support throughout the process.

Test Details |
The FOLR1 gene is associated with a condition called neurodegeneration due to cerebral folate transport deficiency (NCFTD). This condition is characterized by the inability of the brain to transport folate (vitamin B9) into the cerebral spinal fluid, leading to a deficiency of folate in the brain. NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a method used to analyze the DNA sequence of an individual’s genes. It allows for the detection of genetic variations, such as mutations or variants, that may be associated with certain diseases or conditions. In the case of neurodegeneration due to cerebral folate transport deficiency, NGS genetic testing can be used to identify mutations or variants in the FOLR1 gene that may be causing the condition. This can help in confirming a diagnosis and determining the appropriate treatment options for individuals with this condition. It is important to note that NGS genetic testing should be conducted by a qualified healthcare professional or genetic counselor who can interpret the results and provide appropriate guidance and support. |
