FUCA1 Gene Fucosidosis Genetic Test
Cost: AED 4400.0
Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Test Details
The FUCA1 gene is responsible for producing the enzyme alpha-L-fucosidase, which breaks down complex carbohydrates in the body. However, mutations in the FUCA1 gene can lead to a rare genetic disorder called fucosidosis. This disorder is characterized by the accumulation of complex carbohydrates in various tissues and organs.
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the FUCA1 Gene Fucosidosis Genetic Test using NGS (next-generation sequencing) technology. This test helps in the diagnosis of fucosidosis by identifying mutations in the FUCA1 gene. The test involves sequencing the entire coding region of the gene to identify any changes or variations that may be causing the disorder.
Test Components and Price
- Test Name: FUCA1 Gene Fucosidosis Genetic Test
- Components: NGS Technology
- Price: AED 4400.0
Sample Condition and Report Delivery
The test requires a blood sample or extracted DNA. Alternatively, one drop of blood can be collected on an FTA Card. The report will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks.
Test Type and Doctor
The FUCA1 Gene Fucosidosis Genetic Test falls under the category of Neurological Disorders. It is recommended to consult with a Neurologist for this test.
Test Department and Pre Test Information
The test is conducted in the Genetics department. Prior to the test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient who is going for the FUCA1 Gene Fucosidosis NGS Genetic DNA Test. Additionally, a Genetic Counselling session may be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by FUCA1 Gene Fucosidosis.
Importance and Benefits of Early Diagnosis
Early diagnosis of fucosidosis is crucial for initiating appropriate treatment and management strategies. This can significantly improve the quality of life for affected individuals. Furthermore, NGS genetic testing can also help identify carriers of the disease and facilitate genetic counseling for at-risk individuals and families.
